This question can be tricky. I have always thought that I was born to be happy. And I have been happy… sort of.. until I started measuring myself against my friends, family, peers, lovers, etc… and was less happy when I had less things (money, success, love, etc)…
Until recently, I discovered that I am here to close the breach between me and God. I am here to understand that life is just a dream (and dreams, dreams are…), and that I can be as happy or sad as I choose to, that material things mean nothing, that what really matters is how close I am to God.
Also, I am here to actually live a happy dream… not to be right, but to be happy…
I am living by these new guidelines, let´s see how it goes…
