The Pursuit Of Happyness

It's amazing how things without words can convey so much emotions. Stuff like pictures, guitar solos, scenery and the natural environment. Makes us wonder just how much our words really mean.

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is the meaning of success.

It's nice to see that there are people who share the exact same interests, and have the same view to life as you. These are the sort of people I live to meet. And I believe I've already met one such person, I just hope that our friendship grows stronger with every passing day.

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.

-PRIME MINISTER, LOVE ACTUALLY

I don't feel like saying much now, I'll rely on quotes I found lying around on the Internet.

There is no person in the world who is made to handle every punch that’s thrown at them. We aren’t made that way. In fact, we’re made to get mad, upset, sad, be hurt, stumble and fall. We aren’t supposed to be able to handle everything. But that’s what makes us stronger in the end, by learning from the things that hurt us most.

It's times like these, and these selfless people that help me believe in the power of love. Not romantic love between lovers, but love in it's purest, most basic form. Love for one another, love for the world around us, love for everything.

Right now, I'm just thankful I'm alive, and lived long enough to see this day. If I'm not thankful for this, what else can I be thankful for?

Today's been good, but it's not only the good days that make life worth living. It's everything, all the pain, happiness, suffering, joy, trauma, hope and everything else that makes life, truly what it is.

Thank You, God for making this world a truly, beautiful place, and for giving me a chance to enjoy it.
