Feeling Euphoric

Let’s start out with the definition of euphoric before I start talking about it. Euphoric: characterized by or feeling intense excitement and happiness. Great, now that we have that out of the way we can jump into it.

A feeling of intense excitement or happiness, I can think of a ton of times that I have felt euphoric. They say as you age you don’t carry the same amount of excitement as you did when you were younger. I strongly disagree. With each place that you visit, every person that you meet and every experience that you have, they all should have the same amount of excitement as the first time.

You see, sometimes the situations that life throws at you tries to dull your senses. It is your job to keep your senses alive. You can do this by having an excellent attitude. Feel intense excitement with everything that you do. Be grateful for everyone that you know and for all that you have. Be happy and share your happiness.

A simple smile, hug or handshake can go a long way. So can a simple question, “How are you doing?” Not only say you care, but show it. Choose your time wisely. With children, jobs, hobbies and sports, it is so hard to find a moment to yourself. When you do have those moments, pick wisely how you choose to spend your time and with whom.

There are two paths, one is the most used and the other has not yet been discovered. You can spend all of your time with the most popular people shopping for the most popular clothes and talking about the most popular events. Or, you can spend time with those who have been forgotten, or with those who don’t have anyone else or those in need. Once you experienced these things you will understand the importance of happiness, love and gratitude.

Everyone wants and deserves to be happy. Don’t let anyone take your happiness away from you. Just as you deserve to be happy so does everyone else. Whenever you have the opportunity to lift someone else’s spirit, please go out of your way to do so. Life is funny, you think that you are invincible, and then one day someone close to you passes away leaving you shocked and feeling numb. Realize how precious life is and all that it holds. Greet everyone with the same excitement as the first time that you met. Kiss as though it were your last and love and see the good in everyone.
