Happiness is a Choice

How do you measure your happiness? Is it by the money you make, the job you have, or by the respect of family and friends? Whatever you use as a yardstick, it is by your own choice as you are the person who controls your life. If you have failed to achieve happiness, it is because you have chosen to do so.

Having money and material possessions may not equal happiness. There have been many people who appear to have everything yet the one thing that escapes them is happiness. Even if they are happy with what they own, they may be miserable in their job or personal life. The reality is that no matter how much wealth, status, or possessions you have, they don’t generate happiness. Happiness is a choice.

Keys to Happiness

Most people honestly believe that they will be happy when they are able to get a job they want, but when they get it, they won’t be. They feel that they will be happy once they have a nice house- but they won’t be. Then they will be happy when they have put in everything neatly so that they can call the house their home – but they won’t be. Then a fancy car, an exotic vacation, etc. etc. but happiness seems to be eluding them. Is it really possible to have permanent happiness?

Search of happiness is one of the basic purposes of human life. However, it is also the source of greatest frustration. Many successful people who had been super-achiever feel the futility of their efforts that has gone in the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately many of them actually feel more depressed and unhappy even if they win the rat race of the material world. There are some others who seek happiness in drugs, alcohol, illicit relationships, gambling and immoral conduct. But it all ultimately destroys the person rather than giving what the person seeks for.

How to Achieve Real Happiness

Happiness, contentment, satisfaction with your life – they all reside within your inner self and not what’s happening today, what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. External things, many of which we can’t control, affect you on a daily basis but they really have nothing to do with creating happiness within yourself.

How to achieve that inner peace and happiness has been a quest for man since he or she first stepped out of the cave. An endless number of people are ready to tell you how to find happiness, often for a hefty price, but listening to them, or reading one of their books just won’t cut it. The reason is that what makes me happy doesn’t necessarily make you happy, or any of your friends and family happy. Happiness is not a transferable commodity – you can’t pick up your happiness and shift it over to someone else, no matter how badly you might like to.
