Today my question is "what does happiness mean?"
When you think about it, "happy" means something different to different people. Much like the idea that we create our own worlds, our own luck, our own opportunities, we also create our own idea of happiness. I was reading a post on the Spirit Science Facebook page about happiness and with this I had a revalation.
We worry so much about finding someone that MAKES us happy; the perfect human being that knows the "right" things to say, the "right" moves to make, and with the "right" timing. Doesn't that sound hard? Almost impossible I would say. --you can not find a person to make you happy-- That's it. My revelation.
When you entrust your happiness in someone else's hands, they will only be careless with it. Know why?
Well, easy, it's not their happiness... It effects them on a miniscule level because in the end of the day, before they go to sleep they do not have to think about it. You're saddness, problems, and any general thing involved in your happiness.That burden falls on your shoulders alone and until you realize this, it is something that can hold you back from some of the most beautiful aspects of living.
It is time to open your eyes, you can not expect for someone to make you happy, only you can make you happy. Only you can truly know your heart's desires. Before you break under the imminent societal pressure of settled life, marriage, and soul mates, discover yourself. Make you happy. When you are in control of your smile then only you can take it away; everyone and thing else is simply an added bonus or, on a negative note, a distraction.
How or where do you start? When?
Start small, if you must. an hour or two a day of "you time". Alone. Be it music, art, fitness, writing... Do something enjoyable and stress relieving, NOT distracting. Reflection is key. (if you read my other posts,this is a great time to find your passion.) And no excuses; you ALWAYS have time to make yourself happy.
Finally, start now.
You have so much potential.... potential to live life to the fullest, to change it, to BE...
So, dear readers... what is happiness in the world of "you"?
