What is happiness?

Happiness is something that lies in the deepest parts of our bodies. It resides in all of us however not everyone acknowledges this. Some people live in a realm of negativity without once ever trying to escape. These people need to realize that if they look hard enough they will find happiness.

 

 

 

Contentment is finding the adventure in every moment and seeing the light at the end of every dark tunnel. In order to be happy you must be optimistic, realize that happiness is not a materialistic item (took me forever to realize this), and that it is a choice. Happiness isn’t something that someone can go out and purchase; a shop doesn’t sell contentment and never will. It is not something that only few have, it is something everyone has but not everyone recognizes.

 

Happiness is just as much perspective as life is, choose to be happy in order to be happy. Happiness as a choice is a very powerful thing. To be able to control emotions is a skill that we are all born with but some do not work on. We are able to detach from certain emotions and build on others. This is something that is needed in order to be happy. Work on it, dig deep to find it, and never give up.

 

Choosing to be happy is a great thing...~

 

Personally I believe that there truly is more and that happiness is really a choice and that it isn’t something that we just find. Never once have I ever thought that if you wanted to be happy all that needed to be done was to be happy. I always thought that if you wanted to be happy a formula had to be correct and everything had to be perfect. But, it’s so much simpler than that. Being content is just choosing to be. Making up your mind to be happy and being happy.

 

There are going to be a lot of obstacles in your way of being happy however anything worth our time is going to take effort. That is where the optimistic part comes in play. If you are willing to strive to be happy even though you may face some difficulties and as long as you are positive you will be happy.  Choose to be happy not because everyone else is doing it, but because it’s the best thing that there is to do. Although happiness is something that we all have we do not all choose to realize this. It isn’t something we can buy or go pick up.
