As of right now, I'm watchin' this one show on PBS called This Emotional Life: "Rethinking Happiness" . It has different episodes I guess (the next one is called "Facing Our Fears"); this one is obviously about happiness . It talks about what makes us, human beings, happy . It's definitely one of the best shows I've ever watched .
In this episode, they talked to different people (ages/races/social status/etc) about what makes 'em happy . As the show went on, I found it very interesting how some of the things they talked about correlated with some of my recent ideas about what really makes/will make me happy .
Some of them had past problems that got in the way of their happiness (bad childhood, criminal background, sickness, money problems, social problems, etc.) . It intrigued me because through it all, they all had ways of finding happiness . The one thing that probably connected with my idea at most was : not worrying about others and just living your own life/satisfying yourself and your loved ones .
Lately, I've realized that I have been trying too hard to make others like me or I've been doing things the wrong way (for example, I just realized I've been doin' music for lust of fame/money and not for the passion I have for it . .) . I've been wanting to 'redeem' myself by just doin' my own thing and not worrying so much about other things . .
