Are you happy?

In recent weeks, I have questioned myself numerous times. Is this the life that I want? Am I truly happy? What will happen if I listen to my guts and start living life the way I honestly want to?

But if I do do that, what will happen to my current relationship, my family, my friends, my finances, my sense of security? I could jeopardise all that in trying to make myself happy. At what point, trying to be happy turns into selfishness? I could ruin everything I have now.

Usually this is where I stop thinking about this. Or when something nice happens and I start thinking this isn't so bad. I could live this life.

Things are always easier said than done. It is not in most people's nature to gamble what they already have for something that is not guaranteed.

Are you one of those people?
