Think about the concept of happiness—something we all strive to be every day. A concept that
sometimes feels unattainable, yet we fantasize about when this emotion will fill our souls and
consume our bodies. We are waiting for that fleeting moment where we can just sit back, take a
deep breath, and finally say the three words we so desperately want to feel every moment of
every day—“I am happy.”

But think about your self-growth. Think about the periods of time that led you to be your most
genuine self. What state of mind were you in that caused you to become someone that you are
proud of? The truth of the matter is, we don’t improve and grow as human beings during
the moments that we are happy—we grow from the obstacles we face during the journey of
life.
