It's hard to be happy when you are indifferent. You may be wondering, "who was the Einstein who came up with that quote?" Well, it was me! Ever hear anyone say "I don't care" about nearly everything? That's a person who clearly isn't happy and is giving themselves little chance of being happy. Happiness comes from passion. It doesn't have to be passion about a particular person, but just passion in general. In my house, many of us believe it is best to find happiness in the little things, because big things happen infrequently and it is better to find happiness more often than less. You may ask, "but if you are unhappy, how can you find happiness in little things?" The answer to that is to have passion! Get excited about what you are doing, or what you have to do that's in front of you. Develop a sense of excitement about everything you do...and with everyone you do them with. Have you ever been around someone who is truly excited about what they are doing? It's contagious isn't it? I love when someone is excited about what we are doing. It fuels my own excitement. Meanwhile, how do you feel when someone you are with sits around bored with your presence and buries their nose in their phone all day? Why bother to spend your time with them? They obviously don't care if you are there or not. In fact, they become a burden to you, since you feel you always need to compete with their phone for their attention. Who needs that! Do you want to develop passion? Then shut off the electronics and actually spend time with the people who want to hang out with you AND are willing to make the effort to do it. It is easy to listen to idiots who say "Family isn't always blood. It's the ppl in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who ACCEPT YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE." Phonies want you to believe this so that they can continue to just talk to you over Facebook and never have to really deal with you or your wants. It is so much easier for them to just send out a general twitter to all or post a comment to make you feel like they are there for you. My suggestion: Send that person a PM back and tell them you would really like to hang out with them. See what kind of answer they give you. I bet it will look something like this: Same thing for people you meet online that you never meet in person. It is easy to say "I'll be there for you" when they have never even met you. Try to set up a get together with them. Those who are "true friends will find the time to meet with you. Even if it may be a little difficult. They may invite you out to an event too. Be open to it! Those who won't meet with you no matter how many times you ask, are not your friends. Those that try to get together with you are.
With that said, don't be fooled because a band puts up a stupid quote and wants you to feel at one with them. Don't be fooled by people who say they will always be there for you, when they have never even tried to hang out. Instead, develop passion for the things that you do and your plans and see who will join you. Passion drives happiness. Not just for you, but for those around you who choose to see the world the way you do. Don't despair! Don't be indifferent! There is a whole world around you, And plenty of people to share it with. Develop a passion! Be open about it, and see who wants to join you in happiness. Remember, it's the little things that will drive your happiness...But it can also help to drive happiness in the people around you.
