What Is True Happiness And Where Do We Find It

?

Some people spend their whole lives looking for true happiness, and never find it. They go from relationship to relationship, job to job, sometimes thinking they're happy, only to discover they really aren't.

They are always looking for things to make them happy and you will often hear them say, "I will be happy when I get my new car, when the weather gets better, when the kids go back to school, when I get my new house, when I find the perfect mate, when I leave home, when I find a good job, when my spouse starts paying more attention to me, and when I have more money coming in." No matter how many times we change our relationships, our jobs or our finances, we still aren't truly happy. Perhaps if we had our very own Happy Fairy that could wave it's magic wand over us and voila, we find true happiness. Not too likely that is going to happen. The magic only comes from our own personal journey. We waste so much time looking for peace, joy, contentment and happiness in the outside world. That is exactly what I did for many years.

It often appears that your happiness is coming from an outside source or experience when really it is coming from within you. It becomes very apparent, when certain situations that once brought you happiness no longer have the same affect. It is our interaction with our inner thoughts and feelings about those things that bring us happiness. Even when things don't always appear to be going well externally, it is still possible to experience true happiness. Any situation can either be a source of happiness or unhappiness.

When you see those that are happy in spite of what is going on around them, it is because they have found happiness within themselves. They understand that they are the ones creating their own reality and that creation includes all circumstances and situations that have been brought into their awareness. When we are able to take responsibility and love and accept ourselves in spite of what we are creating and who we are being, then we begin to find true happiness in all areas of our lives.

True happiness can only be found by getting in touch with who and what we are at the core of our being. Our life is a journey of which we have many choices. It is an experience that you will never find outside of yourself. No one or anything can make you happy because true happiness comes from within. Once we can take responsibility for our own lives, getting in touch with our joy and passion, our life is transformed. For us to experience happiness and freedom, we need to welcome and accept all of our feelings. If we suppress or ignore them, they will show up in another form until we have dealt with them. Accepting ourselves as whole and complete exactly the way we are and being able to love ourselves unconditionally is the key to eternal happiness. As we begin to love and accept ourselves, we are able to love and accept others. Happiness isn't found in having or getting, it is only found in giving. The next time you feel inclined to do something nice for someone, observe how you feel. I guarantee you, the happiness will shine through.

I leave you with one of my favorite quotes, which sums it all up and will give you some food for thought.

Enjoy and Be Happy!

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

-Groucho Marx
