Happiness isn't somethign that just shows up in our lives whenever we feel like it. Happiness depends on our actions.
End your pursuit of happiness.
Maybe Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. wouldn't really like this controversial idea too much because it would cut down on viewership if people followed through with it, but I am actually going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.
Rather, begin to recognize that it is in our daily actions and expansion all though life that we actually find accomplishment, and in the end of it all, deep and true happiness.
I'm not recommending that contentment isn't an incredibly important aspect in each of our lives - it would absolutely be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I'm proposing is that maybe there is a different trail we can take that will direct us to larger amounts of happiness all throughout our life. Possibly we should be focusing more about the development of our mind, body, and soul every day in little increments to guarantee that we are constantly growing and evolving in positive ways? This should be a very engaging alternate track to take rather than seeking something that we will never actually grasp onto.
If we are consistently growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and therefore are happy with how things are going. Nevertheless aimlessly searching for an emotion that cannot be gripped onto like every other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless to start with. There must be an alternate way of doing things that will help us become even more successful in life in the long run.
So what if you tried on this idea for a while and authorized yourself to focus on expansion instead of happiness?
Who knows what might happen?
All I know is that fulfillment in life is deeply connected to personal deepening and that contentment is not far behind.
Food for thought.
