There have been many studies
on what makes people happy. Is it
money? Is it love? Is it security? Is it faith?
Or, is it something that comes from inside of us?
I personally know people who
are happy even though they have more than their share of problems. I personally know people who can’t seem to be
happy even though it appears as if they live without many challenges.
I understand that one
person’s opinion of challenges, problems and a carefree life is different. I also understand that we all bring our
childhood, family issues and personalities into the equation.
And yet, it seems to me that
happiness is a state of mind. As in, “if
you think you are happy, you are.” And, “if you think you
are unhappy, you are.”
I make a choice pretty much
every day to find something to be happy about.
I do this because I know there are many who have it worse than I
do. I feel blessed for what I have. I don’t concentrate on those who have more.
Lying in a hammock makes me
happy. Not a lounge chair, not the
grass, but a hammock. So, today as I
search the Internet for a hammock, I feel happy. Sometimes it is the simplest of things.
What makes you happy?
