People want to be famous and get power. But you know what, being famous or rich doesn’t have to be everyone’s path. These things are not what will make you happy. Temporarily yes, but in the end, it only matters what makes YOU happy. If being famous makes you be happy, all right, go for it. But if you wanna be famous to prove somebody something, then please think about harm you do for yourself.

Now, I know that being happy will mean different things for different people, right? Murderers are happy killing people, but is it a right thing to do? Of course not. So let’s define, what happy things should be. Happiness is what makes you feel good about yourself without harming other people. Your happiness shouldn’t make other people miserable and if to be honest, a lot of people forget that. If it makes you happy to hurt other people, then you must work on yourself.

Me seeing what is happening worldwide makes me depressed. I won’t lie, seeing the world for what it is makes me anxious and unhappy. I can’t and never will understand how people can go make wars, try to force people into doing something bad, sexual assaults and etc. I don’t get it and it makes me sad that these things make some people happy… I don’t get it how somebody can now decide that they want some land and make full scale of war because of that.

I noticed that the biggest problem of people is – not having enough. It will be humanity downfall. People just CAN’T GET ENOUGH.. All consumerism, all money, apartments. People just want more and more. It is not enough just to have 1 home or certain amount of clothing. Not enough to have money that will make you not only survive, but afford travelling and having kids. One way, people always want to make things better (for themselves) but at the same time, they do not think of consequences. I would love to people making better for themselves but not in an expense of others suffering….

That is why I say, we are focused on wrong things, material things is not the end goal. Our happiness and memories make life good. I do want everyone to have a safe place to live with all comfortability, but that should be enough. No. People want more. It’s like, no matter what you will give to people, they will always ask for more, not realizing what they already have.

And oh boy how people cannot appreciate what they have is beyond me. Yes, sometimes we all need to be reminded how good we have! Even myself. I was complaining a lot lately. Watched few documentaries and videos on how people live in South America, Africa or other poor countries and I realized how stupid it is for me to complain! I have so much! Although, I did come myself from a poor environment where I barely had anything and I did suffer, I won’t lie. But you know even then I managed to appreciate things. Okay, maybe material way I couldn’t afford almost anything. But I had friends, I had nature and I had my creativity. That made me happy. That was enough. Now I have more. Still I don’t own the place or anything expensive for that matters, but I should have realized how good I have.

Obsession for power, money, hurting others is terrible. I heard someone’s thought – people want you to be happy, until you have more than they do…. Or until you are more successful than they are…. This is seriously awful. The only reason for jealousy is because people think that this is happiness. Being successful means being happy. NO, no and one more time no.

Me. I never wanted to be popular, because I never saw the point. Yes, to make influence on somebody is power. But I never wanted to make influence on someone with a purpose. If I can inspire people do better by just me doing better, AWESOME. That is what I want. I think people forgetting a main difference between INFLUENCE AND INSPIRATION. Influence is demanded and usually not done by people willingly. Influencing means pushing people to do something. Inspiring though is never pushed on people. If somebody feels inspired by you, that is good. They can or they might not. Inspiration comes naturally. Like, mmm nature! You see nature and you feel inspired.

Another idea crossed my mind on why people are seeking for power, career, fame is because they don’t realize that what they are looking for is love. Unconditional love and transcendence. They get something material or not material and then want more and more and more. But nothing can fill the void.

How to remember to be happy and appreciate things? First of all, the most you can do is support yourself and don’t expect others to do it. They won’t because they will expect same from you. We live in give-take society and everything has a price, not necessarily material one. What works the best for me is my notes and my blog posts. When I lose faith in myself or in the world, I just go back to my posts and I find security and calmness. Things I wrote makes me feel better as I remember good days. So, my advice – remember those good days and write them down! Have a journal and if something positive or happy happens – WRITE IT DOWN. If you are too lazy, record yourself and keep voice recordings journal.

We need to understand that love comes within us. Nobody will show what love is, we need to find and understand it. I talk about love as universal thing. Significant other won’t give you the meaning of love. Having a partner does not show what love truly is. Neither do kids. Basically, love is something universal and not touched by humans. It is something that you feel when you are in nature or calm place.

I know that people look at others and think – oh this is love or this is happiness. But truly and honestly everyone has different opinion and experience what love is or what makes them happy.

We should firstly focus on what makes us happy and not to think how we should impress people or what other people do..
