What is real and what is pretence? I think that the lines between these two are getting increasingly blurred. I feel at times that I am surrounded by a sea of superficiality and the most intriguing bit is that most of those who pretend to be what they are not or pretend to possess what they actually do not have, have over the years convinced themselves so thoroughly about this pretend person that they think they are, or the pretend traits or things they think they possess, that they actually start believing this lie themselves and there begins this fresh round of blurring between the real and the make belief.
You might think, what is this naturally sunny natured person doing reflecting on thoughts that border on cynicism, but then I am as always real, I cannot live in a bubble of happiness while what is surrounding it is this. To me my happiness is also real and not make belief and that is perhaps the single largest reason why it is lasting!I draw my happiness not from instantaneous pick me ups like shopping or makeovers or binging on food but from being with people I love or doing things I truly love. I think the difference lies in doing what makes the soul happy rather than what makes the heart happy.
So what have you done lately that has made your soul rejoice with happiness. If not, then stop for a minute, think what might and just go ahead and do it! Trust me you won't regret it!
