In Pursuit Of Happiness

Happiness is something that so many people strive for each day and yet many times it eludes them. Often, they feel that happiness can be theirs if only their situations were different. Have you ever felt like that?
So often we get caught up in what I call the “if only’s”. If only my husband/wife were nicer to me. If only I had a better job. If only the children were grown and out of the house. The list can go on and on…
We can waste so much of our precious time dreaming of the “if only’s”. So many people fall into this trap and end up miserable most of their lives.
The problem is that they are looking for happiness to come to them somehow. As if it were something that could be possessed. When happiness does happen to come, it seems so fleeting that it quickly passes away.
People erroneously think that happiness is just a feeling like some passing fancy. I am here to tell you that happiness is not a feeling, it can be a way of life.
Happiness can be yours on a daily basis if you will only;
Live in the NOW. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised to us so you need to be present in the now.

CONTROL your thinking and the thoughts that pass through your mind. Happiness can be called a state of mind and the way to happiness is bringing your mind into its proper state.

GRATITUDE. Gratitude is an attitude and as we look to all that we have to be thankful for, instead of dwelling on what our problems are, we will find that we too can be whisked away to the state that we wish to be in.

Here's Wishing you HAPPINESS now and always!
