the simple things in life

ever wondered what makes each and every one of us happy in life? is it money? fame? some are probably happy with money, but i guess i realized that money doesn’t have to be in the same sentence as happiness. the simpler things in life make us the most happiest, according to our rules. everyone is different in their own sense, that is why we embrace our individuality and uniqueness so happiness for everyone is going to be different. money would be nice, but if you take away the little green pieces of paper, we see family, friends supporting us in whatever we do. we see the passion thats driving us forward in hard times. we see the cup of coffee (or tea!) sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to work its magic on the tired minds in our body. grabbing a pen and paper, writing down the thoughts going through the mind and translating them into lyrics, diary entries and much more. brush aside the golden coins and something as simple as the memorabilia left behind from generations past will put a smile on our faces. a nice gesture by a total stranger could brighten anyones day. a simple message from someone close to our hearts could create laughter that never ends. even in hard times, the sadness, depression, anger…it all goes away when we think back to our friends and family, bringing happiness along with it. i guess what i’m trying to say is that money shouldn’t be everything in your life. it is a part of it and always will be, but the simpler things in life is what brings out the true happiness in everyone.
