I’ve been thinking the past couple of months about one of the biggest decisions I’ll have to make in my life. The question that I have been pondering is, what do I want to do with the rest of my life? Not just what do I want to do, what is going to lead me to happiness? Some people see happiness linked to wealth, power, or fame, but will these things lead you to truly happiness?
Having insurmountable wealth or power may put a smile on some people’s faces but the fact is these things are only things of material pleasure. They lead down a path that does not interest me. Sure having money to sustain and support a family and live a lifestyle comfortable to the standards of the average person does help in making you happy. I do believe that having a loving, supportive wife and raising children that return your love brings you to happiness. But beyond that what brings happiness into the deepest crevices of your heart?
At this stage in my life trying to wrap my head around these emotions is difficult. I believe certain people throughout history have pondered the same question that I am pondering today. Some people act based upon their answer to this question. Some people put this aching question off into the back abyss of their mind.
And so I continue to ponder…. What will bring me to the hapiness that I truly seek?
