End Your Pursuit Of Happiness

By Evan Sanders


End your pursuit of happiness.

Huh?!

Like any other emotion, happiness is fleeting. It shows up when it wants to and often exits when it feels fit. Happiness isn't really something we can "obtain" but instead something we can experience. In the end, happiness seems to be connected to our daily actions towards growth.

So I will say it again. It's time to end your pursuit of happiness.

Perhaps Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. would not like this idea that much because it would cut down on viewership if people actually followed through with this concept, but I'm going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.

While many will decide to chase happiness their entire lives, those who begin to understand that constantly growing and evolving will make them happier in the long run will find great joy throughout their lives.

I would never suggest that happiness isn't a critical aspect to living. It is. Who wouldn't want to be happy? What I am simply suggesting is that maybe there's a different way we can take to end up being happier in the long run than trying to chase after happiness itself? I think it's possible that building your dreams, constantly growing and developing and looking to help others would lead to a more fulfilling life than seeking after an emotion that can't really be grasped.

When we are growing we feel like we are truly living. When we are breaking through boundaries and moving forward with our lives we start to feel this great sense of accomplishment. Truth is, when you are on a path of development happiness just seems to show up no matter what you do.

Give it a shot. Decide that you are going to dive into the world of development, growth, dreams and goals and eventually you might become happier in the long run.

Happiness is connected to personal fulfillment.

Food for thought.
