I think I have it
Did a bit searching on happiness.... especially after my friends called me common. I realised the following. Even though I don't have a house on my back like the tortoise, or can run as far as the cheetah... or have a beautiful voice like the parrot, or feathers like the ostrich... I'm am special in my own way, and I don't have the approval of the people I work with or love with to be just that: special. with this I am content... but looking back I often wonder if I ever progress beyond this point?
Read this cool story that I would like to share: Maybe you heard about this story – It’s quite well known. I love it and gives me a smile every time I read it. It’s all about doing what you want in life and being happy. Enjoy!A boat docked in a tiny Greek village. An American tourist complimented the Greek fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.“Not very long,” answered the Greek.“But then, why did n’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the American.The Greek explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.The American asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”“I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings I go into the village to see my friends, dance a little, drink a bit, and sing a few songs. I have a full life.”The American interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you. You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.You can then leave this little village and move to Athens, London or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.”“How long would that take?” asked the Greek.“Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years,” replied the American.“And, after that? Afterwards?”“That’s when it gets really interesting,” answered the American, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!”“Millions? Really? And after that?”“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your grandchildren, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife, and spend your evenings singing, dancing, playing and drinking with your friends…
I am an orphaned baboon. My parents were killed in the Kruger National Park when some European people drove over them. Since then I am venturing Africa... in search for the meaning of life!

What do you do when life hands you some bad stuff on the way, when you loose stuff, do not feel happy or content in your environment - and try to change it, but it twirls just down and down the spiral of almost self destruction.
I wonder. This is happening to me at the moment. No matter how many good confirmations I repeat, what I do to adjust my feelings or emtions, the universe just come and knocks me down, and kicks me a time or two when and if he/she can?
Dont have the answer

I often wonder about new beginnigs. Is the new beginnings only on a calander, as so the end of something... or is the new begnning only within yourself, and so also the end? That means: I can start and end every split moment I breathe!
Read alot about everybodies wishes and dreams for 2012.... and it all about living. WHAT MAKES A PUPPET REALLY HAPPY? When you are happy within yourself, then all the other things will fall into place!
