What is Happiness

What is Happiness? In life we all seek to find the thing that we call Happiness. Like Love it is an action & not something we can just capture in words. We cannot just put it down on paper, or this virtual paper. It is something that we have to practice & it is not just given to us. We have to actively seek it & make it part of our daily action.

The movie "Into the Wild," makes a great statement about happiness. It states that Happiness is nothing if we can't share it. This is so true with about Happiness, Love, & every success we enjoy. All of these things mean nothing if we cannot share them with others. We could have all the money, success, happiness, & love in the world but if there is no one for us to share these with at the end of the day they are at most fleeting things.

We could fill our houses with plaques & trophies to show what we have accomplished, but these things we do & accomplish so that we can reflect the good we have inside. If we alienate ourselves from others in accomplishing these things we will not be any more happy than if we did not. As humans, we all need to share with others. There is nothing wrong with this feeling of wanting to share & sometimes to rely on others. No one of us is perfect alone, because the relationships we are able to attain & maintain reward us in ways far beyond any other earthly thing we can have.

So, what is Happiness? Happiness along with all of the other successes we have in life are representations of who we are & what we have to give. Today is a great day to start to share all of these great things we have inside. Today I pray for you, that you may feel my happiness, that you may share in my knowledge & share all that you have with others. Happiness is one of the greatest infectious things we have been graced with on earth. Please open your heart today & share yours with all those around you & bask in the glory in its reflection on those around you & on yourself. Be the change you wish to see in the world. If I am the first one to say it to you, I Love You! Peace, Love, & Happiness to all of you!!!

Bless You!
