The Secret

The age old question that has perplexed humanity since the beginning of time.  What is the secret to life?  What if there were no secret?  Or what if knowledge of the secret resides in each and everyone of us?  A concept so simple yet so mystifying that the greatest minds have effortlessly tried to define the meaning of life in some long thesis.  Maybe it can be defined in one word.  Happiness!

It is Monday morning, the alarm clock is screaming then quickly to be silenced. The peace only last for a short moment.  This time the screams are even more persistent, growing louder and louder.  There is now, no way to ignore the calling.  The weekly grind has begun with the weekend as the goal.  Each week counted down by days that are counted down by clock-outs and coffee breaks.  So round and round we go, like a NASCAR that races a million miles an hour around that track.  No matter how fast it goes or how many times it makes it around the track, it always ends up in the same place.

This is how many of us go through life.  Stuck in this vicious circle that we have been programmed to believe is the way, and many never finding their true happiness.  Some even a prisoner within their own life, with time wasting away doing what they’re “supposed to do”.  Others are stuck looking back to the past, never being able to move forward.  The past is the past, learn from it but leave it there and never look back.  Some are preoccupied planning for the future that could care less about the  plans that we may have.  The future has yet to be written and is forever changing.  So hope for the future but live in the moment.  For the moment is where we truly live.

Time can seem to move at the speed of light, if you blink you may miss it.  Therefore think of every moment as an opportunity, an opportunity to do what makes us happy.  So, put your passion into action.  For every second that we waste or spend unhappy, is a moment of enjoyment that is forever robbed from our esprit.

Don't wait and let life pass you by.  Get out and live the adventure.  Find what makes you happy and you will find your secret.   Remember that the only way we fail is if we fail to do nothing at all.
