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 concept too much because it would cut back on viewership if people followed through with it, but I am actually going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.
Rather, recognize that it is in our daily actions and growth all though life that we really find fulfillment, and in the end, deep and true happiness.
I'm not suggesting that deep and true happiness isn't a critical aspect in each of our lives - it would be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I am proposing is that possibly there is a different trail we could take that will guide us to larger happiness through our life. Maybe we really should be aiming more towards development of our mind, body, and soul every day in small increments to guarantee that we are continually growing and evolving in positive ways? This is going to be a fascinating alternate track to take instead of always seeking something that we will never truly grasp onto.
If we are constantly growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and therefore are ok 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 has to be another way of doing things which will help us become even more successful in life ultimately.
So what if you tried on this concept for some time and allowed yourself to focus on expansion instead of happiness?
Who knows what might actually happen?
All I know is that fulfillment in life is connected to personal development and growth and that contentment is not far behind.
Food for thought.
