Anyone Looking For HAPPINESS?

Anyone Looking For HAPPINESS?

Show Of Hands, Anyone Looking For HAPPINESS?  I'm sure we'll have a mammoth crowd for that.  NOW for the catch-22 question.  HOW many have failed quite many times to find for that elusive HAPPINESS?  Surely we'll see a sea of hands for that.  BUT looking back, I realized that HAPPINESS is damn hard to capture for oneself especially if you're looking for it.  WHY?  Because, over and over again, psychologists do tell us NOT to look for it BUT instead, let's CREATE it.  Much as no one wants to be 'down' and feel 'down' everyday, truth is, it all starts each time we wakeup in the morning.  Wakeup thinking of all the arguments and hate that prevailed the previous day and I can guarantee you that that will carry over to your present day.  WHEREAS that elusive HAPPINESS is deep within you📗📙📘

YES, this sounds like a broken vinyl record, telling us NOT to bother searching for HAPPINESS.  Instead, be ready for it.  Be open to it.  And adopt the attitude that HAPPINESS can just be a heartbeat away even WHEN you're drowning in grief and/or misery.  It's like searching for specific attire in your closet BUT at first you were looking for a flashlight thinking it's gotta be here somewhere BUT it DIDN'T show up until two days later, only after you've forgotten about it and instead, you ended up on a hunt for double-AA batteries.  This is HOW it is with joy, with HAPPINESS.  If you go seeking for it, most likely you will find something else instead💥💥💥

Even though that pursuit of HAPPINESS is one of our most inalienable rights as an individual, it seems like a shallow and self-indulgent thing to be pursuing.  And to blunt about it, chasing after it is graceless and YES, it comes out as an embarrassingly poor use of one's time.  YES it's NEVER too late to change the tune we're singing.  Yes, HAPPINESS is a follower, long before Facebook was conceptualized💧💧💧

SO HOW?  Look for opportunities to create it as it lives deep inside you, waiting to be shared.  You may NOT be able to bask in it yourself at that moment BUT you can still grow it and give it away.  The real neat thing is WHEN you bring HAPPINESS to another it boomerangs back to you.  You end up feeling good, maybe even looking good.  And then friends stop bugging you about HOW you should go out and see someone and get 'anti-depressants'.  YES, been there, done that.  I know how it is to 'DELIVER' joy and HAPPINESS because I felt like I'm standing then on a hilltop in a gentle wind, looking across the horizon😋😋😋

Our takeaway:  By itself, HAPPINESS is NOT just about positive thinking BUT positive action and it is a skill that everyone can train and work on.  And to quote the experts, our brain is NOT always on our side WHEN it comes to creating HAPPINESS because as per their studies, about half of the time, our minds are wandering off thinking about other things.  Anyone Looking For HAPPINESS?  Rethink about it and get back on track dude❗❗❗
