The new year has entered our lives. Many are looking forward to fulfilling their new year ambitions and goals. I have been working in letting my self-pity behind. With that, I have been trying to look and feel happy every second. But the harder I try, the more uncomfortable I feel. With that said, I still like the idea of letting out a meaningful smile. So, if the feeling of happiness is fading little by little, how do I keep the flame inside of me from fading and devolving?
I have no fool-proof answer. But I have a feeling. Let happiness fill you in naturally. If you try to force upon yourself a never-ending obligation of maintaining a constant emotion, you and I shall fail no matter what. The human mind is in constant change. Every moment brings new emotions to our lives. Because of this, trying force an emotion when another is taking hold of us is not healthy. Let us be happy and thankful for what we have and for what we are. When sadness and tiredness show their faces, let us give them their rightful time but not more than necessary.
♫ Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you ♫
Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan
