The Search for Happiness

Do you find yourself wondering what would make you happy?
 
“Maybe I will be happy once I get married. Maybe I would be happy if I was rich. Maybe when I have children. Maybe I’ll finally be happy once I retire.”
 
But why not now?
 
If I were to ask you what makes you happy, you would probably have no problem providing me with at least a few answers - a new house, to get married, to lose weight, a higher-paying job, or winning the lottery. Answers to this question usually have a similar theme: our happiness depends on external circumstances.
Happiness is a choice
You may be surprised to learn that materialistic things rarely determine long-term happiness. Happiness is determined by innate factors and perceptions, as well as experiences. In other words, we have complete control over our own happiness.
 
Happiness is a choice we make, every day, no matter where we are. It comes from recognizing that circumstances don’t bring happiness, things don’t bring happiness, achievements don’t bring happiness. Happiness comes from inside us, from an attitude of appreciation. 
 
What can you do?

  • Keep yourself open to new possibilities.
  • Enjoy each moment and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you.
  • Be thankful for everything that you have.
  • Spend time with your family and friends.
  • Make the most out of each day.
  • Recognize that it’s okay to not feel happy every day. Sometimes we need to endure the storm before we can appreciate the rainbow that follows.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. With assistance, you can learn to discover what is important to you and what truly brings you happiness.
 
Instead of searching for happiness, let it find you.
