"When I was 5 years old, my mom told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”.
They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.
I told them they didn’t understand life."
– John Lennon

This is my all time favorite quote about life because I believe that deep down inside everyone wants to be happy yet why are so many people in the world unhappy? Not where they want filled with feeling of regret.
When we're a child we're not worried about feeling of happiness, unhappiness or regret. Not thinking before we act only being. Yet as you grow older you assume responsibilities. Tied down burdened by everything we're told that we have to do and life starts to become a chore and because:
- There are not enough hours in a day
- Because it raining
- Because its not raining
- Because my feet hurt
- Because my feet hurt
Coming up with all the excuses in the world and we suddenly start saying " I wish", "maybe" , "tomorrow" beaten down and slowly these words then become substituted by "quit", "can't" but leading to feelings of regret. All the most stupidest excuses in the world blaming everything except the one thing that truly responsible. YOU. The problem wasn't the excuses, wasn't people holding you back, it was believing that they were correct.
Every single time it comes back to single definitive thing...me.
I'm hate this feeling, I'm sick of waiting, Slowly 'm destroyed by the words "tomorrow", "wish" "dream"
So slowly I will start to change starting now:
Not a to do list: A do now list, Timetable and hard work period.
Three things needed for success:
Great Faith
Great Doubt
Great Efforts:
- What you want
- What's stopping you from getting what you want
- And how to get what you want.
I've lost the last thing that's held me back from being happy : My pride
I have nothing left to lose
