Self Love (Intro)

Happiness I am searching for you
When will we know what it means to be truly happy
How do we achieve it
You see, when were young
We have dreams and goals
And we are able to be happy because
We are still able to focus on the present moment with little effort
As we get older, our dreams and goals become harder to achieve
Because let's face it, life gets more difficult
The problem is
Over time
We forget how to live in the present
And are constantly worried about the future
Society plagued us with wanting to fit in
To be socially accepted
To have a sense of belonging
And that causes us to want what others have
So, we compare ourselves to our peers
We get so caught up in what we want
That we forget about what we have

All of this is noise
These existential
Superficial
And surface level desires never last
For everything in this life is temporary
But just imagine
Enjoying moments for what they are
Instead of focusing on what they aren't
Stop
Take a deep breath
Close our eyes
Shut out the noise
Feel the energy flowing within us
And for a moment just be
Breathing in the positive energy
And exhaling the bad

What we manifest into the universe comes back to us
Becoming aware of all of the senses makes us
What we are
The world is not just around us
But within us
Be connected to the self is to be aware of what truly connects you to YOURself
Have you ever stopped to just feel what you are experiencing
Put down your phone to forget about what you are doing later
And attempt to live in the now
There is more beauty in feeling completely alive and connected to the world you are currently in
And this is what it means to be present
To be truly happy is to be
Truly connected to the self

When we are able to take our known sense of self
And apply it to anything we're doing
Wether it be our love life, work, passions
Or even just laying down in silence
These are the moments that allow us to live in a state of happiness
There is no success nor payment more powerful than the ability to be present and aware
Happiness is what we make it
For we are the artists
The creators
And the masters of our own universe
