The pursuit of happiness!

It's very easy for a myriad of things to affect our happiness. In a way, human beings are pessimistic in nature and very easily focus on the negative and the reasons why one isn't happy or what is affecting our ability to be truly happy!

But I think that the common misconception that we look into being happy as a destination to reach, is extremely flawed and a main cause of stress and disappointments. But achieving happiness isn't about getting to this magical place of happiness. In reality it's all about the journey and enjoying its ups and downs along the way and appreciating things everyday. That is what happiness is all about!

It's the ability to appreciate what we have and enjoy it without falling into the common trap of thinking what else are we missing? what else i still need/want?

The more I get older the more i understand this concept and the more i realize that happiness comes from oneself and it's also a choice! Everyone has plenty to be happy about if one looks carefully into their lives but when we fall into the trap of looking at what others have or what else we wish we had, we forget what happiness is all about

We should all smile more often as happiness attracts more happiness!
