Thoughts and Memories

You sit there and think to yourself,
"What am I doing here?"
It might sound a very simple question,
but really put some thought into the question,
the words do not change,
but you end up with
"WHAT am I doing HERE?"
I am not talking about the physical state,
you may have a good explanation for being where you are reading this,
But I am asking about the emotional and mental state of your life
Sit and ask yourself,
"How did I arrive at this point in my life?"
What forces, whether it be by mental or physical persuasion,
led you to believe that this is where you wanted to be in life
Look around you - your family and friends,
your work and social factors play a major role which results in the kind of lifestyle you lead
Every day, take time out of your daily routine and examine these factors
which predetermine your life's outcome
It will then occur to you, after obtaining such an indepth and personal insight into your life, that another question will emerge, and you will ask,
"Am I Truly Happy With My Life?"
Many people do not think about the complexity of this rather easy question,
Most immediately think, "Yes, of course I am",
In reality, a majority of the population remain unhappy for their whole life,
without even asking themselves "Why?"
But if you promise yourself to set aside daily thinking time, the true answer
to this question will come to you
It may take a life time to achieve total happiness,
but it will be worth knowing it,
People pretending to be happy are not hurting anyone but themselves,
because in the end, the biggest and most painful betrayal of all,
is that of your own self.
