Your Happiness

We are each searching for our own happiness.

Happiness is a personal thing in how we come

to define it. We have all felt happiness and we 

have felt it's opposite. Happiness, much like all

states of mood and mind, is a passing phase. 

This is by no means a negative. The peaks of 

happiness give contour and definition to our

lives. If it were possible to live in a state of 

endless happiness one would lose sight 

of what it once felt like. We find happiness

in every possible place if we will ourselves

to do so. Sometimes there is fear that if we 

lose this state that we might be unable to 

attain it once more. That is untrue. There are

many paths to this state and there are many 

false paths as well. The wisdom we must

each seek to attain is the ability to discern 

true happiness from false or fleeting facsimiles

of it. Alcohol, drugs, sex, can all be abused

into creating a fleeting sense of fulfillment.

Yet, it is not. To plunge into the depths of 

these is to abuse them and what they are

meant to be. Happiness can absorb these

but they are not pure happiness unto 

themselves. Spirit, mind, heart, are all 

keystones in happiness.
