I annoy people with my optimism
Stumbled upon this video on LinkedIn while looking at work opportunities (as one does on any given Sunday), and it really made me happy... Got me thinking: what is going to make me happy?
I believe that everyone seeks genuine happiness... I just don't know what will put me in that state of mind again. With the downtime you experience as a Flight Attendant, my mind wanders, trying to find what is the next step? Literally, my head is in the clouds.
Lately, there has been a resurgence of songs I've been listening from my childhood and teenage years, bringing me back to a simpler time, where I was filled with optimism... I want to get that feeling back.
Would I find happiness in a new career? What exactly would that be? Will I feel lighter if I had a partner? Where do I find comfort in this uncertainty? Why do I keep asking more questions as I continue getting older?
Just wondering when things will get better; I can try to believe in fate by viewing every social media posts that appears on my page, but what if I am simply getting my hopes up? What would everyone think about? Have I gone crazy?
This is something I think about all the time, and it's people like Eddy Goldfarb who gives me hope that some day, I will find the happiness where I can provide to others around me. He is truly an optimist, who believes that everything is going to turn out okay (unlike me, expecting every possible outcome). He knows he's right, and contributes optimism to help him throughout the day.
Not only has this man created 800 toys, he's lived a whole decade (103 to be exact). Goldfarb keeps on moving, allowing creative work to stimulate the brain. From the love he experience to the new creations coming up, he has definitely won in life.
I want to feel this kind of joy, even in the work that I do. I just finished work for the day, and it felt like it was never going to end (certain things out of our control, but I want to at least look at the positives of every situation). There's something I am passionate about, I have to look for it again and again - maybe it will be something from my own childhood (the music?)
Most importantly, I want to wake up every morning and be thankful for another day. Tiredness is acceptable, but I am seeking for something that will spark that joy in my life once again.
