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.
Perhaps Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. wouldn't like this idea too much because it would ease back on viewership if people followed through with it, but I'm going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.
Rather, begin to recognize that it is in our daily actions and unfolding all though life that we actually find deep fulfillment, and in the end, deep and true happiness.
I'm not recommending that deep and true happiness isn't a critical aspect in each of our lives - it'd be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I am simply proposing is that possibly there really is a different trail we could take that will guide us to larger amounts of happiness throughout our life. Maybe we really should be targeting more towards development of our mind, body, and soul each and every day in small increments to guarantee that we are consistently growing and changing in positive ways? This should be a particularly fascinating alternate track to take instead of looking for something that we can never truly grasp onto.
If we are continually growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and therefore are ok with how things are going. But aimlessly searching for an emotion that can't be gripped onto like every other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless in the first place. There needs to be an alternate way of doing things that may help us become more successful in life ultimately.
So what if you tried on this idea for a while and allowed yourself to focus on development instead of happiness?
Who knows what might happen?
All I know is that fulfillment in life is connected to personal deepening and that contentment isn't far behind.
Food for thought.
