Happiness isn't somethign that just shows up in our lives whenever we feel like it. Happiness depends on our actions.
End your pursuit of happiness.
Most likely Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. wouldn't really like this idea too much because it would cut back on viewership if people followed through with it, but I'm going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.
Rather, recognize that it is in our daily actions and growth through life that we really find accomplishment, and in the final analysis, deep and true happiness.
I'm not actually suggesting that deep and true happiness isn't a critical aspect in each of our lives - it would absolutely be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I'm proposing is that possibly there is a different path we could actually take that will guide us to greater happiness throughout our life. Possibly we ought to be focusing more about the development of our mind, body, and soul each and every day in tiny increments to guarantee that we are consistently growing and evolving in positive ways? This could be a engaging alternate path to take instead of always looking for something that we can never actually grasp onto.
If we are consistently growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and are thus happy with how things are going. However, aimlessly hunting for an emotion that can't be gripped onto like other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless in the first place. There needs to be another way of doing things which will help us become even more successful in life in the long run.
So what if you tried on this way of doing things for some time and allowed yourself to focus on expansion instead of happiness?
Who is able to say what might actually happen?
All I know is that development in life is deeply connected to personal growth and development and that happiness is not far behind.
Food for thought.
