What Does My Happiness Consist Of?

            As I sit down in my room and think about what my happiness consist of, I find myself being more confused than ever. This is because it is so hard to think of aspects and things in life that truly make you happy. As I look into what makes me happy, I start to think about my desires because they are things I usually go after so I can in return be content. As I think about my desires, I have a lot of desires that can be seen as short-term or desires that fulfill or make me happy for a short period of time  until I want it again or want something else to replace it. Some of these desires consist of food, clothes, money and shoes. These are mainly things that can be seen as materialistic, and usually with materialistic things your content with them for a couple of weeks or days and then you want something else new or exciting to take its place. All though I have plenty of short-term desires I also do have desires that I consider to be aspects that I cannot not get enough of and more over are the aspects that after receiving them I feel a sense of fulfillment inside. I also define these as what my happiness truly consist of. One aspect that I believe truly makes me happy is the love i receive from my family and friends. This is because even though I am for the most part pretty independent and like to say that I work so hard in school and everyday life for myself, its always comforting to feel that love and affirmation from the ones that you love the most and the ones who know all your flaws and defeats and still can give you such compassion.

          Another aspect that I believe helps me to be truly happy is simply achieving those big goals that  you put your blood sweat and tears into. I consider this a truly fulfilling goal because nothing compares to the feeling you receive when you finally conquer a goal that has taken an intense process to get to.  Plus the feeling that you attain from the conquering of the big achievement pushes you to believe that you are able to conquer some more of those ambitions that you have, and that feeling that you received the first time time after you conquered your goal will stay with you and will turn into a form of confidence that will guide you during times when you feel defeated. The most important  aspect that my happiness consist of is the love i receive form God. This is and will always be the most important because it consumes me and effects everything I do. God's love to me is so spread out  that it allows me to receive those affirmations from my friends and family and gives me the strength and faith to conquer my ambitions. For me God's love is everywhere and through treacherous times allows me to sit back and relax because I have faith that at the end of the day God will allow me to get through it if I'm meant to. Ultimately my happiness consist of those things that come and go and those that stick with me forever, but both give me the opportunity to experience life and live life to the fullest.
