Happy! Happy!! Happy!!!

"If you want to be happy, be." -Leo Tolstoy

This is exactly what I am doing right now today.

Today was a rather enjoyable day of life for me. Nothing really special or extravagant such as having a party or going on a cruise or even stopping somewhere special for a quick bite. Nope...just a regular day on my part.

I can;t really explain my overwhelming happiness. I guess because it's mine personally. You ever have those days when you just go with the flow of the day and your just bursting with energy? Yeah...that would be what my day felt like. Of course, there were a few bumps in the road now and there but I overcame those and continued rolling on.

Happiness can come from anything and I believe people lost the touch of this statement. It can come from the hustle of your work routine, running on the treadmill to burn your satisfied calories limit, or even just walking down the street enjoying the rays of the sun. Happiness can come from anywhere!!!

I just wanted to express that in order to become happy, you have to BE HAPPY. What does this mean? It means what it says...BE. Pause. HAPPY! You have to go for your happiness and keep it in a headlock so it can stay longer at some periods of times when it just wants to leave you for a few days.

Run a marathon, listen to your iPod, play a video game to beat the high score, make a cake, drive around the city, play that guitar, draw a masterpiece, rap over a beat. Mainly...just do you.

Happiness is all around you. What will you do to make yourself happy?
