I probably say this a lot, but all I want is the gold. That gold, is being happy. Regardless what vessel brings is to me.
In my life, I’ve come to identify those things that make me happy. That put the smile on my face, whether it’s a good book, good food, the wonderful people in my life, and that one person who puts butterflies in my belly.
I’m not going diminish any of my various sources of happiness, but I have to say, their contributions are weighted and I know what my “gold’ truly is. I have found that “kryptonite” that just makes me silly and weak at the knees (Good kind) and I am unashamed.
When I’m in that zone, I strive to be at my best; I want to be better at my work, I want to be a better child, a better Muslim, a better friend. I want to be a better person at life, actually living life as opposed to just passing through. I want to be more than mediocre.
I am at peace.
