“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
When asked what inspires me, this quote immediately comes to mind because happiness inspires me. Positivity inspires me. Laughter, and joy, and love inspires me. It takes a certain type of person to realize how influential and important happiness truly is. Aya Rand believes the ultimate goal to life is self happiness and why shouldn't it be? When you are happy, it radiates from you and makes other people happy. There's nothing more inspiring than when someone's smile alone, can change someone's mood. It especially inspires me when people are happy who shouldn’t be. People who are sick, or people who live in third world countries. People who have every reason to be miserable, but choose not to be. Because life is beautiful and the world is amazing. There is always something to smile about, and if you think otherwise, smile at the moon and the stars; smile at the vastness of it all and the endless possibilities. Happiness inspires me because it can be hard. Sometimes it’s difficult and sometimes all you want to do is curl up in bed. But all the hardships in life only help you appreciate the good. It may take a traumatic experience for you to realize it, but in the end it is worth it. Happiness inspires me because of the mere power of it.
