Mine is golden, ofcourse. Lately, I find myself a) unsettled, b) unfulfilled, c) finding myself. A little over a year ago, there was a guy who had asked me what my honest opinion of him was. I told him I thought he was searching for contentment. I think that answer caught him off guard. As a matter of fact, I'm quite sure of it. Judging from our conversation that night, he probably thought I'd sum him up with the adjective, depressed or unhappy, and he probably would have accepted that without objection. But I suspect that when I threw out contentment, a light bulb went off. He said I was absolutely correct in tone as if he were suddenly enlightened. I was pleased to have been able to help a friend realize that he wasn't really unhappy, but just not quite content - I do believe happiness and contentment are not one in the same. I felt even more gratification from knowing that my friend didn't have to spend another day in the dark, but could actually focus on finding a path to his inner peace. Now, a little over a year later, I find myself in the same situation as my friend. How did I get so lost again? Anyways, as my New Year's Resolution, I propose to do the things that make me the happiest: 1. Volunteering, 2. Reading, 3. Building my net worth (more like re-building it), 4. Spending time outdoors, 5. Hanging out w/ friends, 6. Traveling |
