So how are ya rog?
So I am asked this quite often? My response is I am level. Yea, somebody from another country/culture would have no idea what i mean, but a local would understand .
It pretty much means things are status quo. But I recently got to thinking, the last 5 years or so of my life have been just level. Not particularly happy, or sad for that matter.
So what do I make of this? Well I dont really know. I cant really remember a really long period of my life where I was like seriously happy. Not like even back to back months. I would have a good few days and a few sucky ones. Or just like average days where I alternated between being cheerful and pissed.
Which brings me to the next question. How do I go about achieveing long term happiness? Will I get it from a really satisfying job? a relationship, finding my passion for who knows what?
basically i am not unfullfilled? However sometimes I wonder if I am missing out on the world?

I don't think you should look for happiness, Rog. I think you should look for JOY.
Happiness is a temporary state. Dependent on what is happening around you, dependent on how you FEEL at a particular point in time. JOY is a state of MIND. When you decide you are simply going to ride on the wind and keep your head high no matter what.
