Live, Then Die

She’s crushing it!
Doing all the right things.
Great job, 2 kids, loving husband. Swims with the whales.
Yoga, rowing, 10K’s
Wow now thats one ‘successful’ happy girl.
Except she’s chasing the modern day rabbit - round and round she goes in pursuit of ‘happiness’, and getting nowhere. Just one more really cool vacation, or purchase, or medal, or raise, or kid away and she will have it and we can all admire her and hold HER up as example.

Except it will never happen.
We are not designed to be happy. We are designed to live, then die.
Feeling good occasionally will be balanced by feeling bad.
Happiness with grief, dysthymia, depression. Success at work balanced 5 minutes later by a failure interacting with her kid.

Get the hell over it America. It’s an empty useless two dimensional construct.

Want to know THE secret to living life?

Get born, live, then die. Maybe try to be nice along the way.
