I've been wondering for a long time when we get the idea for the pursuit of happiness. When we begin to think that there is a need to change our current setting and aim for a new, ideal one. Isn't that what the "pursuit of happiness" is, a path you've set that will ultimately get you to your ideal world. I've come to realize it can be many things...It could be working your Profession in a warmer place down south, getting Married and having children, or whether you're even Working at all; it can be a whole lotta goals all intermix-mashed in one.
Now what I've really been wondering is when do you begin to stop pursuing happiness and settle. When does happiness take a back-seat to *ReAl-LiFe*? It sure does happen to many, IF NOT, all of us. It doesn't necessarily happen in every aspect of life, but where it does one just gives up and accept things as "the way the are"...Last year you could've found me wallowing in the same dark thoughts, simply accepting the way things were as the way they would always be. Then, my eyes were opened to me by the role models around me and I realized something profound...the ability to change.
One of our strong points as a species is the ability to change rapidly. We are able to change our values in a moment, shape our planet's future, and our outlook entirely; all within an instant.
