The Happiest Place On Earth


The happiest place on Earth is not a place you can really go to. You might be able to find a place on the map that may seem like the happiest place. Somewhere with endless warmth from the bright sun, sounds of translucent waves crashing on a pristine beach. One often finds that those places aren't the answer at all.

The happiest place on Earth is not a place without worry or problems, or luxurious fluffy clouds to sink into. It isn't somewhere you can give into all of your desires.

It isn't Honolulu or Paris, but 
the person you go there with, who knows your quirks and accepts your flaws.
It isn't being in a haze of dopamine, but
being confident and brave enough to tackle that impossible task head on, accepting any possible consequences before they occur.

The happiest place on Earth is wherever you are when you do not exactly know what is ahead, but that when it comes along, you will be able to get through it.
The happiest place on Earth is caring for someone and knowing they care for you back.

Perhaps the happiest place is not really a destination, but a certain mindset of understanding and acceptance.
