Happiness vs Pure Joy

Saw a video by Will Smith about finding your own happiness and this is my take on that.

Everybody wants to be happy. It's not a bad thing tho. It's actually easy.. Go get yourself some ice cream! I know that works for my mom.

I think a lot of people don't get it. Most of us are all about the "Pursuit of Happiness", what make me/you/us happy.

For me, I think what really matters is having pure joy and contentment that comes from above. Knowing that my inner state is not based on my career, feelings, situations, circumstances, wealth, success and the list goes on and on.. (AKA "The Bucket list")

I know a guy who can still smile, sing his heart out and have pure joy and contentment, inside a dark, creepy, smelly, underground prison, and even wrote some books about it.

At the end of the day, our happiness will fade, we become empty again and we all go back to that same cycle. I wish we could all just start to appreciate the blessings and be content of the things and the relationships we have.

Not everyone wants to be happy too you know.. I just wanna rest and have peace of mind from all these mandatory adulting. hehehe
