What Does A Person Need To Be Happy?
When we are caught in the confines of our life we begin to despair.
It’s only ever when life is looking grim and when there is nothing to tell us that things will be different tomorrow that we begin to surrender.
Like an animal in a cage it can’t escape we begin to accept our fate.
We look at life and settle for a life we never wanted to have because we believe there is no choice.
The lack of progress breaks us.
Reverse this and we see what makes us happy.
It’s the moments we are working towards something, the realizations that life got better, and the progress we make towards our goals that makes us feel proud and happy.
This fosters a belief of possibilities, of a life that can change, adapt and become what you want it to be.
Even making one step can be enough to create a resilient baseline.
The point isn’t in how fast or drastic this change occurs, but only that it does.
When our life progresses, when something moves us forward, the world opens up to us.
The door of the cage opens and the entire world bursts with possibilities and opportunities.
