You may feel sad, as you lay under your king quilt. Another day has passed and you did not accomplish much. Something always seems to get in the way. If only things would run smoothly, you could be happy. Have you ever thought about what happiness is? There may be thousands of answers. Here are some that you might like to ponder.
Think about what you need to be contented. You may desire a perfect relationship. It may be a beautiful new home on a hill. Maybe you wish for no major problems, anymore. Now, imagine that you have achieved those things. What will you do next? You may have a long celebration. However, what will you do with your life, after the party is over?
Allow your childhood holiday memories to return. Go back to your old bedroom. Maybe you are reclining in your full size loft bed. Your sibling is in the other bunk. You are discussing the holiday, that is on the horizon. Do you feel the excitement? Why is it so exciting? Perhaps it has something to do with anticipation.
You plan holidays long before they happen. There is a large emotional build up. Then they unfold. They next day is a letdown. Perhaps happiness is not about things that you have.
It may be how you feel about those things. Maybe feelings, and not events, are vital to happiness. If you go out into the world, you will see many smiling faces. There will be just as many poor as rich, with smiles on their faces. Two people can be in identical situations. One will be happy and the other will be miserable.
You may go to an office on Monday and sit at a desk. Perhaps you cut down trees with a Poulan chainsaw. Your chances for happiness may be about the same. This means, they may be determined by inner circumstances.
How can happiness be achieved? Try taking responsibility for your states of mind. Try not to allow others to affect your happiness. This may empower you. You may find yourself in control of your own destiny.
Summation
Your happiness is not about possessions or identity. It is about your opinions of them. You can empower yourself to select happiness whenever you wish. Your happiness is your responsibility.
