Peace or Happiness?

Hey Everyone!

So I wanted to come with a, quick post today.  This week so far has been a slight struggle for me. I have been in the mood of not wanting to do a thing and feeling a little down. This week actually reminded me of a time when I would feel this way daily. I use to deal with depression which caused me to separate myself from everyone I loved, and from the things I use to love doing. And no matter what I tried to do to get out of this rut, something just kept pulling me back down!

With that being said, last night I happened to come across a girl’s video who shared her story on how she became happy. This video drew me in, because of the title alone. I wanted to know what she considered being happy. But, what I found as I watched her video is that her story was quite similar to mine, and it did inspire me. The only thing I didn't personally agree with is that she based her happiness on how her life had improved and what was going on at that time. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that  improving  your life and having new things occurring in your life can  make you happy, because those are the things that did help me out of my depression a the beginning. I have grasped that being happy is temporary and only happens when something is "happening". I slowly understood that peace was what I truly needed to feel complete.

I wanted to share this with you all, because I believe many individuals  go through some kind of depression and feeling down at least one time in their life, and sometimes knowing that you’re not alone can help you get the boost you need to get out of that hole. Even though my week started off a little uneasy and down, I thank God for blessing me to see another day. Days like this remind me of the situation I went through and still fall back into sometime, and I encourage myself to remember that I am worthy and God put me on this earth to do amazing things.

So check out the link below and let me know what you think. Do you believe happiness is what we should truly search for or do you believe that peace is something that we should actually strive for? You only have one life one Chance, so what’s the best option?

Much love,
