What is the delta in your life?

When did change suddenly become a prerequisite for happiness? Is life really that boring? I say absolutely not. Life is merely what you make of it. Have you ever seen a small child find the greatest amusement in the simplest thing?

For that same reason:

Shouldn't I be happy that I can open and close my hand?
Shouldn't I be happy that I can afford to feed myself?
Shouldn't I be happy that I have friends and family that love me?

Why shouldn't these things make me satisfied and appreciative of my life? Everyone doesn't have these "gifts" in life. And yet I take these things for granted constantly.

I get depressed because every girl doesn't think I am attractive.
I get unpatient and unhappy when things don't fall into place exactly as I hoped they would.

To get back the title of this blog, I need to learn to be able to be happy in the small deltas that occur in my life. I need to open my eyes to the perspective of a child and realize that going to get an ice cream cone truly is an exceptional and amazing thing. I should take pride in where I am in life and learn to see the bigger picture when it comes to my happiness.
