About Me	Our lives are inundated with practicality and productivity. We think that if there’s no purpose to something, there’s no point in doing it. In reality the best things in life is to have no purpose. We sacrifice our time and our sanity doing what we don’t want to do, so at some future point we will create the freedom to do what we love.We seek happiness in things, happiness in the acceptance of others, in material possessions, in social status and we even search for happiness in some future-promised afterlife. We sabotage ourselves and our entire lives because we fail to understand a very simple but easily overlooked fact. The search for happiness is the single greatest cause of misery!! You can’t find something that’s already there. Happiness exists now. It’s not something you have to find. That’s like trying to find your breath. It’s the grasping of the mind that causes unhappiness. If you’re not happy, it’s because your mind doesn’t allow you be happy. And the reason your mind doesn’t let you be happy, is because you’re stuck in the vicious cycle of productivity, judgment and purpose. That’s not to say productivity is bad, or that doing things that have a purpose is wrong. It’s basing the reason for your existence on them that causes so much anguish. When we place our happiness solely in “getting” something, completing a certain number of tasks on our to-do list, or achieving a goal, we’re fooling ourselves. We’re like a rabbit with a carrot stick attached to our heads. We keep chasing the carrot, but we never get there. We never stop to think that it might be the chasing that’s causing the problem. We’re too distracted trying to find a better way to beat the game. As soon as we reach one level of success, we’re hurrying to upgrade our search and move on to the next level of the chase. We never stop to think that it’s not the failure to win the game that causes our grief, but the game itself. We neglect to realize that sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to stop participating in the problem. Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to just stop caring (not giving a damn). Happiness is not something we find its something we train our minds to accomplish. It's not about having someone or being okay with being alone. It's very normal for people to find their mind is much happier when occupied by another who uplifts and brings in happiness. It's normal for people to be happy in their world and don't care for others. It takes all types of people to make a circle. We will ALWAYS being working on ourself for the rest of out life. Try to see what in front of you at the moment and not thin...(read more)
