this is your life and it's happening right here, right now. it's not meant to be any different than what it is. there is no comparison because it is exactly what it is meant to be. you need to stop believing that it was meant to be any different than what it is.

your life is not stagnant. you are stagnant and it is only because you somehow believe that life was meant to be anything other than a series of perceived ups and downs.

there are no ups and downs. life goes on its exonerable way the way it is meant to be and only your views of it change. once you understand those ups and downs they are no longer frightening.

happiness is not brought about by the people you meet or the careers you choose. happiness is merely contentment brought about by a series of needs being met. any unhappiness that happens there after is merely restlessness.
