It has become clear that society, social media in particular, has given us a dreamed up happiness. Things portrayed are not always what they seem. Nothing is guaranteed to bring happiness, yet we pursue it. Is happiness a delusion? To me, the human spirit is an integral part of every human. The body makes its needs and wants known with hunter, sex, pain, stress (good and bad) and emotions. The spirit is not that easy to describe. We cannot see or touch it, it is not tangible, yet my belief is the human spirit can bring happiness. It gives us the ability to have perspective, be compassionate, be self aware and humble, be grateful, have the ability to change and the list goes on. I've learned that happiness is not about having the most but needing the least. If you are full spiritually what more do you need? It brings an inner peace you cant describe. I've had spiritual abundance and spiritual deficiency, right now I seem to be some where in the middle. Some days I'm full and other days I'm empty. I've also learned that it's ok to be this way as loon as I have the self awareness to recognize it. Self help worked has helped me tremendously! I've learned what exactly my spiritual deficiencies are and I work on filling those up every day. Don't let spiritual deficiency hold you back from true happiness. Not Instagram happiness.
