I have come to the realization that I have been existing in this life... Maybe more like orbiting. As of late I find myself searching for meaning and purpose. More importantly I find myself searching for happiness. I read a quote the other day that said, "The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness in common things." I thought this to be very profound given this metaphorical state I am enthralled in. And so there is it, I decided over a hard boiled egg and toast, my New Years Resolution: To be happy.
Now for the two of you actually reading this, you know that this will inevitability be a most difficult challenge and I have therefore decided I will need reinforcements, if you will. So I enlisted the help of a therapist. I am not ashamed to say this for two reasons: One, everyone is in therapy (or is that just on TV?). Two, I am taking on a life altering challenge. Something of this magnitude can't be cured by reading the "The Secret;" For that reason I will need the advice and wisdom of someone who can see deep into my soul, past the bullshit and overwhelming doubts that are stopping me from achieving my goal in the first place. And I figure, at the very least, I'll have a story to write about at the end.
“So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”
― Hunter S. Thompson
