Find what you are looking for?

     I think that in most cases, you will find what you are looking for. Since reality is bent by our perception of it and almost every adjective is relative. Our personal reality is relative to our state of mind. If you’re optimistic, you will find the good side to anything. Everything has a good side. The money that you lost is a helping hand to whoever finds it. If you’re pessimistic, you will find the down side to everything. If you are looking for enemies, you will find them. If you look for my faults, you will find them. If you just want to have fun, you will find it. But what do we really want to find? What does each one of us seek? Happiness, a touch of joy now and then, and a place to belong. Maybe a couple more… maybe something slightly different. But if someone told you how you could have this, would you believe them? If the easiest path was shown to you, would you take it? We are all stubborn, all a little hard-headed. But sometimes, when we open our hearts and minds and take a look around, we find that what someone says is true. Count your blessings once in awhile, there are plenty to find. Take joy in the little things. Happiness can be found, it’s just a matter of finding your way.
