I really believe this quote is truthful. I agree with it 100%. Whatever stresses you out the most (or matters the most to you, I guess) is the defining bit of your life that shows what will trigger your emotions; whether happy, sad, anxious, whatever. And if you observe people long enough... you can figure out what it is that consumes their mind and makes their lives either a misery or a peaceful calm. For myself? I'd have to say that I spend a lot of time thinking about my friends and how to help them. That's how I am; I am very empathetic and I like helping others because in a way, it brings down my stress levels too.
But enough about me. Let's examine YOU, reader. When you get happy, what is often the cause of it? Are those around you happy? Did you just receive a new item? Did you just take a long walk and see a gorgeous sight? Did you get promoted at work? Did you hear your favorite song on the radio? What was it? Was it something little, or something big? Something that can happen every day; or something that takes time to come around? How we value what makes us happy ultimately defines how happy we will be; and while we can talk the talk and say we appreciate the little things... we need to sit back and see if we actually do. Now forget about the happiness, let's talk about anger. What pisses you off? When something doesn't go your way? When your car breaks down? When a bad song comes on the radio? When you're behind on work? When those around you are in negative moods? What. Is. It? Because the same thing that applied to happiness... applies to anger, too. These questions can be re-applied, in fact, to any emotion in your range. I find that they really help reveal what your mind centers on. Give it a try. Find yourself. I dare you. - Maddie
