As we hurdle the path that we undergo in our daily lives, hundreds of thoughts would struck us any time of the day. But why are we really waking up everyday? What makes us keep on going? Perhaphs, most of our answers would end up in the pursuit of our own happiness; or to achieve our goals, to find joy with what we do, to make a living for our family and etc. Whatever our reason are, we would always end up with one thing, and that is the fact that we do such things out of the love we have within ourselves. May it be self love, romantic love, love for our family and friends and the love for the life that was given to us. Our way going to places where we think we could find happiness or joy may appear to be broken sometimes. That's the reality of life, you may cross deadly rivers and mountains in pursuit of it, but the thing that makes us suffer are the things that would makes us appreciate the beauty of simplicity and of the natural order of life. When we learn how to control how we look into things despite of it's ugliness and disorderliness, we will find peace within ourselves. We will develop this inner peace that no one could break, because we, ourselves, are the masters of our minds and are the only ones who will bring joy within us. It is just a matter of looking things in different angles, you can either look on to the great things or burry your mind with all negativities around it. So in seeking joy we must look on the angle where we will find the positive atribute of what life has to offer.
