Open the shades to reveal the morning. You go to work and you walk, you talk, you breathe, and its all very normal. Your life is good and you use words like "content" and "balanced" and "happy" in too many ways to describe your current state of affairs to other people...Then it happens. An event, a person, a place, an awakening, a very obvious and singular moment of happenstance goes off like a depth charge and echoes throughout your existence and all of a sudden its clear; I'm not here to make myself happy. I think I'm here to make myself happy and its happiness that will lead to more happiness.

A happy dog chasing his happy tail.

And this moment passes and leaves behind a residue of change. You are exposed. You can't go back to being safe. I can't go back to living for myself. My own personal evolution. The big ball of string that is your life becomes untangled in that moment, that one smile, and for a second you see the truth. Its not about you at all. And it scares you because you've lost control over something you never had control over in the first place and you just realized it. But there's a happy ending for the happy dog because he's no longer living in the ignorance of chance. He sleeps easy knowing he doesn't need to wake up and chase his tail for his life's fulfillment...He can chase it for fun again.
