There’s something about Happiness
Happinessisalwaysdefinedasaninnerstateof
mind,aninnerfeeling,apersonalthing.Yetwe
searchforhappinessallaroundus.Peoplesay
thathappinessislikeabutterfly;themoreyou
runbehinditthefurtheritgoesawayfromyou.
Butifhappinesstrulycomesfromwithin,inthis
wildpursuitthefurthestwerunawayisfrom
ourselves. Last week this became clearer,
whenIwastoldthat“Successisgettingwhatyou
want,andHappinessiswantingwhatyouget”.
This statement sets the base for the fact
that Happiness lies deep within one’s heart
andifoneweretomaneuverone’sthoughts
toward this art of finding
happiness with what one
lays eyes on…then not a
singlesoulwoulddespairat
thethoughtofanuncertain
unhappy future. The pun
is intended as we humans
often overlook repeated
signs and opportunities by
nature, WE overlook and
hence the power to be
happy or find happiness is
in OUR hands or rather this
pursuitreconstitutesitselfinto
anindividualizedeyeopener.
I hope now you are
convinced that if you will to be happy, you
are happy. It has been taught to us that a
content man is a happy man. Contentment
is a term used to define one’s satisfaction
and the dictionary supplies its meaning as
Happiness.Well,thereyouhaveit.Butyes,a
pointtobenoted…Happinessdoesnotstop
you from striving to improve or going ahead
inyourlife.Thedifferencehereliesinthefact
thatperseveranceisawayofliferatherthana
correction;itcomesnaturallytoapersonwho
is happy.The person would want to achieve
greater satisfaction, greater contentment
and hence greater happiness, rather an
enhancementofthealreadyexistingfeeling.
There’s something truly then about
happiness…all you have to do is want it,
whichisrathercommonamongthewholeof
human kind.That pretty much means to say
we aren’t too far from Happiness…assuring
youallthehappinessyoucouldeverwantin
