How is it possible, that some of the most successful people are still unsatisfied? Or that, celebrities with all their fortune and fame still have to turn to drugs/alcohol?

Its because, you give knowledge to the hungry mind, food to the stomach, but what do you feed the soul? The heart? Love and Happiness.

You can have all the money in the world, but genuine happiness and love cannot be bought.

You can be the smartest person on earth, and still not be the happiest.

Studying is good, but dedicating your entire life's existence to it will not aid anyone. After graduating high school, getting your dream job and settling into a house, than what? How will Shakespeare help you then? How will all the equations and formulas help you when you are done with all that?

It won't. There is life beyond school and employment. There is love, there is living.

Getting up in the morning, going to work and coming back isn't living. It's surviving. Just getting through each day like it is a task.

The people that live life like this, are most likely to get Depression.

Everyday is a blessing. You can think otherwise, but it is. So, are the people around you. Getting friendships and having good family bonds are priceless for those reasons.

You need to have happiness. If you're doing something just because you have a better chance and getting a job don't do it. Whatever you do, enjoy it. Love it, it should make you happy.

Not everyone's good at everything, which is what makes each of us unique. And of course, you should do the best you can in everything you do...but enjoy it.

Live each day like it's your last.

And always do it. Because it's always better to regret something you did do, than regret something you didn't do.

Don't make choices because other people say so. Do it because it's what you want to do.

What's the point in being the most successful person on earth, if you aren't happy in that position.

Because ultimately that's what does matter. Health and Happiness go hand-in-hand, because their both essential.

There will always be someone better than you. But that doesn't make you any less anything, because that person is better at it. If you're good at drawing, just because someone else is better doesn't make you not good at drawing. When these types of things arrive, it's always better to strive to become even better than before.

It's not a competition, and sometimes things happen for a reason. Everything that happens is either a lesson or a good memory.

Strive for the best you can be. But, keep your happy levels in check.

There should be balance. Between gut, brain and soul.

Gut is the instinct the more 'animal' control. The reflexes and basic human natures. These are the things most living organisms possess.

Brain is logical and practical. It's priority intelligence and what makes humans so much more drastic than Ny other being.

Soul is the emotional and sentimental. Hopes, and wishes and happiness. The supposedly most well known, but not as often used.

Gut is the most physical, where sports and games flourish. The Brain is where thought and essays are formed, or anything mentally done. Finally, the soul where creativity thrives and more emotional.

When these aspects are united, the most wonderful of things are created. Dance, giving physical movement to creativity. Music or Singing, where mental creativity and creativity from the heart combine.

Balance is vital. All these things are as important as the other. But one must never forget is SOUL. And all it stands for. You can be fit, and smart and still not happy.

Happiness is the goal, for all perfectionists out there. Forget trying to be the best and everything, and just be happy.
