Be happy, you deserve it.

It's been a couple of years since I last blogged, and I was reminded by a friend that since I am so free, I should write. Though at that moment I didn't put much thought into it, thinking I was being made fun of for being so idle. The thought of writing, and penning thoughts again is intriguing.

Well, its 2013. Since its still January, albeit a good two weeks had swept by, we should still be talking about New Year Resolutions. I realized that people around me no longer talk about their resolutions. Perhaps people my age group are so jaded with life, and we see each year almost like a continuation of the year before. Sadly, how many of us has something to look forward to each new year?

I remember when I was still studying, there was always this expectation of the new year. We always tell ourselves that we will do better for our exams, and unfortunately the enthusiasm eventually wanes as the months go by, when we get back our horrendous results, we will groan and moan and tell ourselves we will do better the year after. And that is the expectation, the looking forward to a better year.

Unfortunately when you're grown up, working and dragging your feet to office, there really isn't much to look forward to. Perhaps a little more pay, but its the same work, same problems and same frustrations.

Surely life cannot be like that and shouldn't be like that, no wonder more and more people get depressed about their own lives. It's not so much that they are unappreciative of their own lives, it seems that they are bored of it. They look for excitements and they yearn for new experiences. At least I know that's how I feel.

Personally, I have no complaints about my life, in fact I think my life is beyond good. It is great, it is fulfilling, I feel alive each week and I feel great. Yet despite my beautiful life, I too feel the drudgery and the mundaneness of life at times. I feel tired and I feel restless, and I too think what I do at times seems ridiculous and unnecessary.

The point is, the day we stopped looking forward to something in our own life, even for a little bit, we really stopped living. We become a zombie trudging through the walks of life. It becomes a mockery of the gift of life which many would literally exchange their lives for.

If you haven't discover what makes you happy and what can make you happy, maybe its time to think about it. Maybe the answer isn't that far away, maybe there isn't a need to think too much, maybe all you have to do is to just do it?

So go out there and be happy, you deserve it.
