Chasing a life of lies and deceit never ends in happiness for anyone involved. I would have to say it would be a life of misery. Catching up to a life of lies is exhausting, I would assume. Not just for the person spitting out the lies but also for the people having to keep up with them as well.


Though the truth in life at times can hurt a person in such a detrimental way, it always prevails and that lie that was initially told for whatever reason will hurt more in the future. Whether it was out of pure love and protection at thought and that it was in the best interest of all involved it always hurts more In the end.


Happiness is something we end up having the ability to gain in life through the achievements in the way we live our lives. That’s my theory. It’s not a occupation or main focus in life. If you chased happiness your entire life and never settled for what you ever had… Then did you really ever experience happiness? Or did you just feel like you were disappointed in the end cause you didn’t ever find your potential happiness.


At some point everyone has to take a step back and really think about where you are going and where you want to end up in life to feel like you are complete. Let’s be realistic, your goals are not going to be the same as another’s persons goals and abilities to obtain your happiness in life.


I do know this. It starts with being honest with yourself and others. Being realistic about what you want and can achieve in life. Not setting yourself or others up for disappointment by having fabricated people pleasing stats.


Admitting to failures in life opens up for more growth and opportunities of learning in life. If you don’t fail in life then how are you suppose to learn in life. We need to have that ability to be able to make the best out of our mistakes as well so we can have the ability to make the best out of our happiness in life and to be able to cherish each moment of each day, good and bad.


No matter what though if you remain true to yourself and others, I believe that is the key to the ability in having true happiness in life through any thing that life hands you.


So live everyday with being honest and proud of every trial and success that you may face because these are the things that give you the ability to live a life full of all sorts of achievements that contribute to a great ability to appreciate and obtain happiness without feeling any need to continue to chase it.
