    "The Constitution only guarantees the American People the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."

I would recommend the documentary Happy to anyone who has the time or inclination to better their mental state.

Unexplainable

Just some simple words to express the obvious. From experiences the past 7 months of life, I have rediscovered a simple truth of life. The feeling of fulfillment does not occur from activities related to unattached sex, alcohol, or selfish pleasures. Although it may provide a rush that can be intoxicating in an extensive number of ways, these activities and the feelings they provide are not sustainable.

Weekends spent skipping shenanigans and spent dedicating time to family relationships, long lost friendships, and community assistance have been the most rewarding and memorable from my experiences. This simple knowledge has revitalized my emotional state and outlook to the future. I encourage all to dedicate their time to these alternative selfless activities rather than the ones that seem to present themselves so often and in such a tempting manner.

Good day all.

Different Way of Looking at Things

Here's a video from a young man who has not just followed the Church but looks at things in a different way. As I believe with many things, although you may not agree with a viewpoint someone has given, there is always something to learn or consider from what is said.

Life-long Thought

As I move through the first few weeks of college, I have come to a realization about a common aspect of many people's lives, including my own. Before, as a high school student and younger, family was just something that was always around, always a guaranteed aspect of life. Often it was just something that I didn't appreciate or pause to respect and enjoy; just another thing that could get on my nerves or stress me out. As I move on towards another stage in life, I realize my mistake. Family time is scarce relative to life-span, and one should appreciate the time he/she is able to spend with family members. Point in case, regardless of the condition of the relationship with mother, father, etc. make sure to spend time with and enjoy the time you are able to spend with them. If the relationship is fractured or fragile, try to repair it, it is definitely worth it in the long run.... because one day, it might be too late.
