Chasing Happiness

Blog post #395 of 365

You can't chase happiness. Happiness is faster than you think. Actually happiness is usually found right where you are otherwise it is always out for reach.

I look at people who never appear happy and they have that one thing in common. I'll be happy when or I'll be happy if but that isn't how happiness works.

Happiness is learned and happiness is earned. You can't be happy if you never learned to appreciate where you are and what is around you. Happiness is also earned. It is a gift you give yourself when you have given enough away. If you never endeavor to bring happiness to others have you actually earned the right to find your own?

Just something I was thinking about in this season of giving where some appear only to want more without giving a single thing. Not the monetary stuff so much as the giving of one's self and time.

May you all recognize the happiness around you.
