I have been thinking lately about the pressures that school kids have nowadays, where they are always pressured to do good at school, succeed at this and that. Because apparently success brings happiness?
Why is there so much emphasis on success? Shouldn't It be the emphasis on happiness?
Now when I was at high school you are supposed to know what you want to be when you grow up, I still don't know!
No I don't have savings, I don't think I'm ever going to own my own property, I struggle from week to week paying for things, I do not have many friends.....but guess what!? I'm content, have 2 beautiful children, have been with the same man for many years, have a loving and close family who would do anything for you no questions asked, I have my health, my sanity and most of all my positive outlook on life. Yes of course I could have the nicer things in life, but they're just material items, money can't buy what I already have.
I will not pressure my children to be doctors or lawyers etc......instead I want them to find their own paths in life and hope that whatever they do happiness follows.
