Learn to Live

Life at times throws you a large curve ball.

Ones that smack you in the face and hurt for a few days.

What do you do in these situations when you are tossed into a puzzle you cannot piece together? What do you do when the time and the pieces you are given don't even match together? I'm not one to pick up a leave from anything until I have figured it out and fixed it. But is it possible that there are some things in life you just cannot be this way with? Maybe this is the answer to all my problems.

I try to make life happier for those I interact with. I live to make people smile and feel good about themselves. If I made at least one person do this in a day, I can sleep happily. I've found it's my main purpose but as with everything in life there is a balance and sometimes I cannot do anything. It is still up to that person to decide whether they will be happy with life or not with what they are given. 

Can I learn to differentiate the ones I can fix and the ones I can't? Can I learn to walk away when I can't fix it and leave it there in the past? Can I let go of my stubbornness and let people come to me when they need me? I suppose I will not be able to live happily myself if I take the burden of others onto myself. Then, that just defeats the purpose of everything I try to do.

Happiness can be just as contagious as sadness. But there is less of it in this world so it's harder to project onto people that have no meaning of it in their lives. The ones that want it will not be so hard to reach.

So, that is when I should learn to just walk away.
