What is happiness actually?

in #writing7 years ago

Happiness is a state of mind... Thats it.

We can all be happy right now, in our given situation, with whatever we have, only if we let ourselves.

The source of happiness is within us.

We always associate happiness with some sort of goals. If I get that job, I will be happy. If he comes into my life, I will be happy. If I travel this place this year, I will be happy. But, once we achieve these 'goals', we are unhappy again, and start chasing happiness again, trying to find happiness.

I am just the same like you, looking for my happiness. But then, 2 years ago, I met someone who has helped me discovered law of attractions, meditation and it has really helped me put a lot of things into perspective.

I still have a long way to go, but I can confirm that I am happier today than I was yesterday.

Now I'm happier than 2 minutes ago :)

not in a very good mood , but now I definitely feel happy. :)

My happiness are gone since my son got autism, nothing can get him back. BTW if I'm meditating ... my bills are lining up in my mind !! love your post.

Thanks for that! Loved it. I was in burma in 2010 loved it. Glad I found you!

you were there long before it get popular, Thanks a lot ... Happy to connect here in steemit.

I loved it, was amazing. To this day have not seen any place like it. And the trip to Golden Rock was memorable, even tho I was sick i'm glad I made it, it was amazing, and I was alone! I often was the only tourist anywhere i was, and having to communicate with people who do not speak my language. People would touch me on the street and say "hello". Very friendly. I'll post about it some day!

Funny you should ask! I just read this quote from Dale Carnegie and think there is a lot of truth to it ; )

"Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."

great quote and thanks for sharing. :)

impresionante foto! recomendado papu

thanks a lot, I love it too, it was one of the most memorable sunrise experience I would say.

Life is so much better when you go through it with a smile. I think it's best to find happiness with what we have already. Then when we get more in the future, we'll be more thankful and appreciative. It's all about the mindset. :D

thanks for this awesome post, i'm a happy man after reading this

I started to meditate around 3 years ago or so and I can only confirm what you said : I am a lot happier and more positive now as I was before.

To develop gratiude for what I have and not always focus what I dont have was probably the most important part for me

I totally agree that happiness is a mindset, not some external condition. You can find it anywhere if you're looking and open to it.
