End your pursuit of happiness.
What?!
Happiness isn't something that just shows up in our lives whenever we feel like it. Happiness depends on our actions.
So I will say it again. It's time to end your pursuit of happiness.
Generation after generation we have been fed that our entire goal in life is to be happy. I'm not necessarily refuting that happiness is a great thing, but where this idea falls short is in the actual implementation of a "way of being" in order to achieve any level of worthwhile happiness.
Instead of always chasing happiness, understand that it is in our daily actions and expansion all through life that we really find fulfillment, and in the end of it all, deep and true happiness.
Happiness is absolutely a great thing to have in your life, but it's also something that's very fleeting like any other emotion. If you try to run after it directly, time and time again it will elude you. However, if you start to focus on building your dreams and seeing your goals come true, happiness seamlessly enters into your life. Isn't that interesting? Maybe we shouldn't be chasing happiness after all.
If we are continually growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and are therefore ok with how things are going. Nevertheless, aimlessly searching for an emotion that cannot be gripped onto like every other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless in the first place. There has to be another way of doing things which will help us become more successful in life ultimately.
So what if you tried on this idea for a while and allowed yourself to focus on growth instead of happiness? Who can really say what might happen?
Happiness is connected to personal fulfillment.
A little bit of food for thought.
