What is happiness? What will it take to make you happy? People all over the world look for what it takes to make them happy in their lives, but it seems like a great many people never quite "find it." Its my opinion that this is part of the problem. Happiness isn't something that's found. Happiness isn't something that finds you either. If it is something that can be found then where it can be found might surprise you.
It's in your mind. that's right, it can be found within the depths of your own mind. It's a choice that you make everyday. When you look around at your life, you make a decision about it. You decide to be happy with it or you don't.
You can choose to look around at all the small annoyances that you that you face and decide that you because of those, you're not going to be happy. A little secret about those little annoyances is that they're always going to be there. No matter what you do for a living , or where you live, or how much money you have, if you choose to focus your energy on these things, you'll likely never find lasting happiness.
However on the flip side if you come to the understanding that there are always going to be those little annoyances, you'll have taken a huge first step toward becoming a happy person. The good thing about this is that you'll find that once you start focusing on the things in your life that make you happy, those small annoyances will become much less influential on your mind and therefore your happiness. You'll find yourself paying more attention to the things that make you happy as opposed to the things that don't, and that will make a big difference in your life. -Justin Bott
