Project Happiness: Day 25

25% of this project has passed by and I am nowhere close to achieving what I am hoping: to explore the definition of happiness, fully understand it at a deeper level and live by it.  Could this be because I am not going places? I think not because to purpose is to find happiness here, from within without the need to travel great distances or run away from my reality. 

I got my nails done today. 

Then I got ready to attend the Mehendi night at the bride's house.  And after attending it, I realized something  that:

- Families are the same everywhere and they come with their baggage of problems, fights, and jealousies.
- Having money, lots of it too, doesn't guarantee that you will have very good taste. 
- Although I come from a very unique, hybrid background, my parents gave me more than what most parents did for their children.

I need to let this sink in: I am blessed with so much yet I remain ungrateful about smaller petty things.    I should be happy with all that I have.  Knowing myself, I wonder how shaky my faith still is.  Will I crack at the first signs of negative incidents?  I simply wonder.

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
