Happiness can exist only in acceptance. – George Orwell
So I was talking to a girlfriend of mine one day and she asked what do you think is true happiness? #truehappiness. She had asked someone else and she wanted to hear my thoughts. I had to really stop and think. I guess it depends on the person and what they perceive to be happiness. Happiness is not the easiest thing to define as it’s dependent on the persons’ outlook. Happiness I guess is subjective. What we experience can be very determinant on how we view happiness. Our lives up to this point can and very often skew our outlook on how we view happiness. Are you happy with you life so far because of your experiences or is it because financially you have achieved what you want?
Money or experiences, which one makes you happy? Actually do any of them make you happy or is it living your life as it comes? “Money doesn’t make you happy,” I have heard so often. However how do you know if it’s also subjective. I might be happy without money while you might be happy with money. Money might give you what you need to feel happy and give you the options to live the experiences you want so was it the money or what it offered?
For me happiness is so hard to define as it changes with the time of day and the situation. My happiness is also bundled with my gratitude. Hard to explain but that’s how I see it. I’m so grateful for my family and because of that I’m happy. I see my husband and children and I send thanks to the Almighty. Which in turn makes me so happy to have them and to be alive. Don’t know if you get what I’m saying. Hope you do. 😁.
For some persons it’s being home playing video games or just relaxing. For some it’s partying and just having fun. While for others it’s traveling and seeing the world. True happiness just depends on how we see the world and how we live our lives. It’s not something that anyone can tell you what it should be. It’s your ideas and your belief system. No one should tell you what is happiness and how to be happy. It’s a personal decision. At the end of the day it’s all about you. What ever makes you happy should be your loadstone and make the difference.
So true happiness for me is what I do to make my life calm. Worry takes away for happiness in my mind so it’s about focus. My focus is not on what I can’t control but what is there in my ambit. That’s how I define true happiness.
