Happiness

I decided to end the week back to the happiness theme. Found a great article L Beattie on "Myths" of happiness. I have touched on this before also, but this article was very good.
Do you feel happiness it out of reach for you? How do you finish the sentence "I could be happy if..."
DESIRE might be considered the defeat of happiness. People seem to feel that they can not be happy or content with the life they are leading. The in only take over. It seems that people tend to put their life on hold waiting for the next best thing.  BUT really!! follow me on this-happiness is a thought process that depends on your OWN thinking.
Even a small thing like loosing a couple of lbs is good, be happy, clean your car, be happy. Think about the good things in a job that you may not like. YOUR are employed--remember the many that are not.
DO not abscess about the flaws, focus on strenghts. So many of us have money problems, but you have a roof over your head and can keep plugging along. Be grateful about your life and WHAT you have. Think about this, be creative, take in the wonders around you. US, what a place we live in.
TRY to remember that it is not only the big events that make up your life. IF we can keep in mind the day to day little events that make up the day, then we will begin to feel some contentment. You are the "constant" in your life. FEEL like you have the ability to make the changes and you will do that. Do not depend on others to make you happy, appreciate your blessings and the positives in your life.
ENJOY today!!! See what kind of a difference that makes.
WHAT do you guys think?
