We all have “happiness” definitions and equations.
- Happiness is __________
- I will find happiness when __________
- I will never find true happiness because __________
- To be happy I need __________
Our responses to these questions often reflect the imprints made on our young sensibilities by attitudes, beliefs and stories we learned from the adult in our childhood. These influence both our conscious and unconscious attitudes towards happiness. Some may be positive... many other may create obstacles to happiness.
True happiness resonates with the private rhythms of our being; it is not a story or a doctrine of faith; nor can it be determined by others stories or doctrines of faith. True happiness can neither be given or taken away by another. True happiness is experienced in the present moment.
True happiness may be found in memories of yesterday, or imaginings of a better tomorrow. But even these, rooted in yesterday, which is gone forever, or a tomorrow which may never come, are experienced, appreciated, enjoyed in the present moment. They live now, not in the past or the future.
-
Happiness is accepting what is.
- Happiness transcends disappointment, loss, pain and death itself.
-
Happiness is the experience of love and compassion, of simplicity and complexity.
