the Christmas season always reminds me that the excitement of Christmas day is really what makes the season so exciting. I think what most of people don't realize is that it is the pursuit of happiness that is really the fun part of living. it is very often that people want something or have a goal. once they get this thing, or go to this place, or get with a certain person - the excitement fades away slowly. this is because all material things, no matter what they are, do not bring happiness. the pursuit is what drives us and motivates us. i think that when you realize this concept of materialism, you will be much happier. appreciate what you have, look for the things that can make your life better - but don't think it brings happiness. happiness comes from within by being true to your self. knowing who you are and being happy with yourself will bring happiness. i can always tell when people are truly happy because they seem uninhibited and child-like. over time, we lose the child within and "grow up." it is the growing up part that limits us and muddies the water to true happiness. i try to focus on learning new things, doing things that i enjoy, and appreciating the good things (and people) that i have in my life. i think that is a good way to start each day!
