Happiness is Not a Destination

Something we need to remind ourselves of is the fact that negative feelings are not only normal, but they are necessary. Everyone says their goal in life is to be happy, but seem to forget that happiness is not a destination – it is an emotion. We will not experience happiness at all times. We will feel sad, nervous, frustrated, anxious and everything in between. But that's okay. Because all of those will make the happy moments that much better. The "bad" times will help me find the good in everything. They will help us appreciate a good laugh. The negative feelings will let us realize that we’re okay, or at least we will be soon.
