Happiness is when you can be happy with yourself, before you let someone else make you happy. When you're happy with yourself everything else doesn't matter. There is no rush to find someone special to fulfill your needs. I realized something very important yesterday. I did something I have never done before, as a matter of fact I never thought I would do something like that, ever. But it happen and I didn't fight it. I actually didn't mind it at all. It made me realize how much I've grown internally since my break up.
For one of my classes I had to go see this movie called "No". Its not a popular movie and is only playing in 3 theaters in LA area. The closes one is 28 minutes away from my house. I asked 4 people if they wanted to join me and all said no, which normally would piss me off.
-You, my friend, say no to me to company me at the movies?! What?! How dare you? ...and so on, but last night as the 4 people said no, I thought to myself: "I don't really care, it's a movie, not a bar. You don't mingle during movie time anyway. The drive is going to be boring but other than that, who cares".
So, I got into my car and went to the movie by myself. The drive wasn't boring as I pictured it. In fact, I had a great time thinking about all the things I haven't thought of when I'm busy with friends. As I got the theater, I walked up and without even thinking got one ticket and went in. After words I thought to myself, how I have never done this before, how I always cared of what people would think/say, how the feeling of insecurity would eat me alive if I would ever do that... None of those thoughts came through until I forcefully thought of how I felt nothing like I thought I would.
I once read in a book that if you're able to go out to restaurant and eat on your own, or go to a movie on your own and not mind it is just a sign of being happy with yourself. Moreover, this is a sing of independence and fulfillment of self satisfaction.
If you are unhappy with yourself, I would recommend reading a book and working on your inner self. Don't force it, it will happen at the right time. In a mean time here are a few steps to happiness:
*Smile
*Make friends
*Have deep meaningful conversations
*Explore
*Give everyone a chance
*Love and Respect
*Be optimistic
*Stay close with family and friends
*Be loyal
As always Stay Classy My Friends <3
