perhaps the biggest desire in today's fast pace society is being happy.a simple desire certainly,however it is becoming more and more difficult to attain.not just a fleeting euphoria,a passing elation like a summer cloud,there for a moment to remind us of its existence,and then gone once again.is happiness really an unattainable goal for us?
happiness does not mean we have to strive for outlandish physical attainments.we have to realize that modest comforts and fare reduces the false "success brings happiness" mentality,that being happy is not materially oriented,but based on the feeling of self satisfaction in relation to our family and freinds.once this simple principle is understood,we will then be truly happy.happy not only with what we have,but happy in spite of what we do not have.
while it is the basic belief that all of us can definitely be happier everyday if we try,it would be very naive ad to think everyone will be happy all the time.it is impossible to be happy every second of the day because afflictions are all part of our lives.but i believe, true happiness does not depend on our circumstances.it cannot depend on our circumstances.there is just too much sadness,too much unhappy situations which come into each of our lives each day.that's the unfortunate fact of life.some things do not always turn out tha way we would like it to be.things intended to bring us happiness have not.experiences we thought would satisfy us did not.we cannot change that,but what we can change is how we choose to react to what happens,and what our attitude will be towards our circumstances.
one of the secrets to maintain happiness is not dwelling on the bad things in life, but concentrating on tha good.some difficult things come into our lives so that we can learn and grow from them.but we just have to trust that there are better days ahead and go on with life,always searching for things which are everlasting and eternal,discarding thjose which are temporary.
the art of being happy,afterall,lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
