Where is the Reset Button?


 

The common response to someone not feeling happy is to have them to think of positive things that they should be grateful for.  Does that imply that the person is not grateful for the blessings in their life? That will be discussed later.  So, if a person then is not happy even if they are grateful for what they have in their life is one to then think about those who are not as fortunate? That will be discussed later as well.  Of course, someone will try to say that you are complaining and then circle toward the think of what you have been blessed with, think of how bad it could be, think of those who are not as fortunate, God won’t give you more than you can handle, keep thinking positive, trouble doesn’t last always, etc.  However, even with the thought and considering all the other facets…still not happy!

Grateful yes, sure could be in a place that is worse than I am in now.  However, either way I would not be happy.  I truly do believe a person can be grateful for what has been allowed in their life and still not be happy.  Many folks have all the riches in the world and are grateful to have been able to use their talents to achieve great heights.  It does not mean they are happy.

Those that are not as fortunate, I am not able to determine their happy.  Am I to assume that just because those individuals are not in the position, I am in that the default mode is automatic despair?  I am not sure about that.  Some individuals thrive and are content with less.  Some are content with the bare minimum as their maximum.  I am not able to quantify their specific life threshold.  However, the topic comes back around to the subject of happiness. 

It is more apparent to me that I am not happy.  If the reset button could be pressed, I would press it as quick as possible. I had the simple realization this morning that others will leave your shit on empty as long as they achieve their mission. Some won’t even tell you of the status and let you find out on your own and then you spend your time trying to make sure you can function with the little that is left until you can just pour into it with the little that you have. This has been written and said before and I will stick to it.  I care about me.  I love me. I will not even fathom that anyone else has my back but me! I will get my happy back.  There might be some grand changes on the horizon, but I will get it.

I Love You, But God Loves You More!
