What is happiness? Is happiness synonymous with gratitude? Are you happy for everything that you are grateful that you have? I was just wondering what and how we would describe happiness? How is it that some persons are happier than others and some are just never happy, no matter what. Is it that happiness depends on the personality or the environment? Yes I know the questions might be considered strange but … Just work with me.
Is happiness an ongoing thing or it’s just where you would be heading? I know persons that no matter what they are always happy and I wonder why that is. I am happy most of the time not always as I’m only human. I realize that I’m happiest when I around family and friends. Thinking about it those are the things that I am really grateful that I have.
When I think of happiness I think of that warm and fuzzy feeling that I get. This is when I realized that happiness is hard to explain. It’s just one of those things that you know if you have it or if you don’t, what do you think? Is it that happiness wrapped up with our ideas of love? 🤔
Happiness is like a journey it’s how you get there not the final destination. Well that’s how I think of it. Happiness for me is also a mindset. It’s how you view the world and all things in your life. Are you a glass half empty or a glass half full type of person? How do you think of the world? Do you see things as great or are you the kind that grumble about everything and everyone around you? I know for a fact that when you get up every morning and show the almighty gratitude it makes that difference throughout the day. It also makes the day clearer. It don’t know how else to explain it. Having a clear mind helps to make life so much easier to navigate. Do you agree? Or do you think there is no difference? How you start the day makes no difference in what and how the day progresses?
I’m still trying to define happiness for myself. But why would I need to understand happiness? It’s for me and for no one else. Think about it, when you are confident and happy with yourself you give off that vibe that makes people gravitate towards you. It makes them see you as someone they would want to emulate. Don’t believe me, try it out. I don’t mean that fake it rubbish but really make yourself as happy possible. It will give that warm and fuzzy feeling. ❤️
Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear

I am so grateful to find your blog! 100% agree happiness is a mindset for sure.
For me if I start the day on a positive note, remembering what I am grateful for (family, health, friends) the rest of the day will flow much better. It also never hurts to start the day off with a great song in your heart that motivates you.
Thank you for your positive feed back. Positivity can make the difference for your day and your life. Stay positive and motivated 🙏🏽
Interesting question:) when my clients tell me they are not “ happy”, I ask them to define what it means to them- it varies.
I use the word content- I am content (satisfied) with where I am right now, at this moment; being mindful of all I have to be thankful for..of course, there’s always room to grow:)
I too start the day with a positive thought/attitude & that sets the tone for the remainder of the day. I also agree that a clear mind makes life easier to navigate, practicing gratitude & I will add, recognizing what I have control over, & what I do not.
At least you can define happiness. 🙏🏽.
That’s why I like the Serenity prayer. It’s the perfect way to what we have control over and what we don’t. Also to have the wisdom to know the difference
My clients seem able to:)
Absolutely! The Serenity Prayer welcomes everyone into my home- hung in the hallway by front door as a my daily reminder!🙏🏾
🙏🏽
