“These mountains that you’re carrying,
you were only supposed to climb.”
Najwa Zebian
Is Happiness overrated?
“Good vibes only” is just plain laziness.
Get out from underneath the burden of needing to be
happy and positive all the time.
That’s too much weight to be carrying around.
Take it easy on yourself.
Stop being so damn serious.
Especially about happiness, positivity, and love.
You’re not perfect and you never will be.
Neither will anybody else.
...
Your “love & light” could use a little “grit & darkness.”
Forcing yourself to be positive and happy all the time is just an ego trap
set up by the scared-shitless part of you that doesn’t want to face the
shitty, shadowy, scary side of life.
It’s a strategic safezone propped up by cowardice and weakness.
Stop sugarcoating bullshit.
Stop demonizing sadness.
You cannot be happy all the time.
Happiness, like sadness, is a passing storm across the sky of the Self.
Some storms are refreshing and invigorating, like happiness.
Some are painful and rough, like sadness.
Both can be overwhelming.
But both are merely information.
They just happen to be information that you “feel.”
As far as information goes,
pain and sadness will teach you more
pain and sadness will teach you more
than comfort and happiness ever will.
Use that information to make yourself healthier
and happiness becomes a convenient bi-product of your self-improvement.
and happiness becomes a convenient bi-product of your self-improvement.
The best you can do is hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.
And nothing prepares you for the worst better than the
vital information gleaned from pain and sadness.
