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.
Most likely Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. would not like this idea 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, begin to recognize that it is in our daily actions and growth through life that we actually find accomplishment, and in the final analysis, deep and true happiness.
I'm not actually suggesting that contentment isn't a critical aspect in each of our lives - it would absolutely be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I am proposing is that perhaps there really is a different track we can take that will lead us to larger happiness through our life. Possibly we ought to be focusing more on the development of our mind, body, and soul every single day in small increments to guarantee that we are constantly growing and adapting in positive ways? This is going to be a very engaging alternate track to take instead of seeking something that we will never truly grasp onto.
If we are consistently growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and therefore are satisfied with how things are going. However, aimlessly hunting for an emotion that cannot truly be gripped onto like other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless to start with. There has to be an alternative way of doing things that may help us become more successful in life in the long run.
So what if you tried on this concept for some time and authorized yourself to focus on growth instead of happiness?
Who is able to say what might occur?
All I know is that accomplishment in life is deeply connected to personal deepening and that happiness isn't far behind.
Food for thought.
