Why You Should Never Give Up on Finding Happiness

Looking for the Light

Life throws all kinds of challenges at us from the loss of loved ones to mental health issues that make us feel like we will never be happy again but you know what? No matter how hard life has been and no matter how challenging it continues to be, you should never give up on finding happiness. Here’s why:

1. New Treatments Are Popping Up Like Apps on Your Phone

Do you know how there’s always a new app for everything these days? Well, the same goes for treatments for depression. If traditional talk therapy and medication aren’t cutting it, don’t worry—science has got your back. Ketamine therapy, for instance, has been making waves as a game-changer for treating depression. Yep, you read that right. The same stuff that was once seen as party drug material is now helping people kick depression to the curb. And that’s just one example—there are new treatments being discovered all the time.

So, the next time you feel like you’ve exhausted all your options, remember: somewhere out there, someone’s cooking up a fresh, innovative approach that just might be your golden ticket to happiness.

2. Happiness Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

Let’s clear something up: happiness isn’t like a pair of skinny jeans that only fit one type of person. It’s more like sweatpants—different for everyone, and much more comfortable. So if what works for one person (say, mindfulness meditation or bubble baths) doesn’t work for you, don’t sweat it. Happiness comes in a million forms, and you just need to find the one that fits you best. Maybe it’s painting your dog’s toenails (no judgment) or starting a new hobby like indoor skydiving. Keep exploring until you stumble upon your happy place.

3. Happiness Is Closer Than You Think (No, Really)

I know, it’s cliché to say “happiness is right around the corner,” but sometimes it really is. It’s just that the corner might be at the end of a path you haven’t tried yet. Whether it’s giving a new therapist a shot, picking up that hobby you dropped in 2014, or even trying something as wild as ketamine therapy, there are countless avenues to happiness you might not have considered. Spoiler alert: happiness might be waiting for you at the next twist or turn.

4. Setbacks Don’t Mean Failure

Look, no one finds happiness on their first try—if they did, we’d all be running around like a bunch of overly enthusiastic puppies. Life has ups and downs, and yeah, sometimes it feels like you’re stuck in the downs. But remember, setbacks are just detours, not dead ends. It’s okay to feel frustrated, to take a break, or even to scream into a pillow (highly recommended, by the way). Just don’t give up on the journey entirely. You’re not finished yet.

5. Because You Deserve It

You’ve probably heard this a million times, but I’m going to say it again: you deserve to be happy. Full stop. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or how many times you stumble along the way—your happiness is worth fighting for.

Take a deep breath, and keep on pushing forward because who knows where it will take you?!

  1. Thank you for your post. I have found encouragement through many passages. One says the times we are living in will be filled with turmoil but it’s promised that better times are ahead.

    1. I’ve had 3 treatments for pain. They are great, for an hour you feel like your on heavy drugs but once the needle is out and a short time of rest, the feeling is gone. I would listen to music on my phone and rock out to my favorite rock songs really loud. They are more commaly used for depression lately, there done is a controlled setting in a doctors office or in an Ketamine Clinic. Beware of the Ketimine treatments sold on the internet. For one they are unsupervised which is not advised and you only get a fraction of the drug compared to a medicinal does. They also charge an outragious amount and it’s not covered by insurance. I would recommend trying one in the right setting but know it takes multiple treatments to east the depression and it’s not a long term treatment. It’s a horse tranquilizer.
