Happiness Is...

Not a warm gun! Happiness, at least for an artist anyway,  is being able to pursue your passion and live your dream life. It's not always easy. In fact, the journey can be downright frustrating at times. You can't help but want to give up, esp. when you are faced with obstacles. But obstacles are an opportunity to learn and hopefully to grow. I remind myself of that often! 


Creative artist or not, everyone wants to be happy. But happiness is not a permanent state of being. However, as human beings, we all strive to be happy. Being depressed, sad or blue is a NO-NO. We are bombarded with ads for antidepressants. As soon as you feel down,  pharmaceutical drugs companies and society are shoving happy pills down your throat because they want you to believe that you can purchase happiness in a pill form and live happily ever after! Ha ha. Not the truth at all.


So rather than striving to be happy all the time. Strive for happy moments.  Put a smile on your face and enjoy!
