Happiness

A friend once told me that happiness was different from feeling pleasure. Happiness is the dealing with struggling, enduring, and accomplishment.

This was so true. Happiness is never just pleasure. That is the culmination of the tribulations you face. 

Struggle is a necessity in life as you struggle to live, struggle to find the hard answers, struggle to be yourself. It is the defining obstacle you face in the pursuit of happiness. Without struggle, there is no meaning in happiness. Struggle give you  character, gives you the experience needed to be truly happy.

Enduring the tribulations of life is one of the most difficult tasks to be done. To know you won't be happy but to continue to do it. To know that in the short term, it will hurt you so much but to continue to strive for it. Enduring the pains and suffering of your struggle in order to reach

....accomplishment. When you finally reach happiness and understand what it truly means to be here. My journey hasn't found its destination yet. But I strive to be there.
