“Maybe it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.”

Lyrics most of us can relate to (from the best TV series ever!). Today we are faced with many struggles in our own well being such as corrupt politics being thrown through social media 24/7, or societal pressure to be individually like everyone else.

The very same pressure that says we need someone else to be happy, or that we need money, a stable career path, a north face jacket, cookie cutter religious beliefs, or even an iPhone.

All things that the “norm” of everyone has, but what do you really need to be happy? Is it possessions, environments, or even people? Can any one person truly be happy on their own?

Sure all of these things play a role, whether big or small in the majority of mankind's happiness people, and money being generally the top two. When it comes down to it though, if you had the basic life necessities would you need more than that to be happy?

Just some food for thought.

When you find yourself in the daily struggle, you’re 10 minutes later than you usually are for work, you have an entire closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, and you spend hours on end on the internet yet still have nothing to talk about in person. We’ve all been there with rough days, they happen.

In those moments that just really suck, try to find something you’re thankful for because a lot of other people in the world would kill for your bad days.

We are all so used to being so self focused on what we need next to fit into the times, but look at what you have right now, shut off your phone, put away the laptop and try to just be yourself.
