This is the beginning of the journey to finding the illusive happiness. If you want something bad enough you can get it. No different than attaining anything else in our lives. Right? Keep up the good work.

Hello
Has everyone been thinking about happiness. I hope so. If you think about it everyday then the chances of you finding happiness is greater. I think it is a good idea to realize that we all will have a bit different idea of what happiness is. There are some resources out there to purchase that can help direct us to different ideas and goals for happiness. Think about happiness often and surround yourself with material on the topic of happiness.
Hello everyone
Hi. Have you been reflecting on happiness and what makes you happy ? I read that if you want to be happy then you have to BE. What does it mean. I think that it ties into living in the present. The only way to "BE" is not live in the past nor the future. If you are living in the past then you are so busy trying to change it that living in the now cannot happen. Living in the past results in allot of energy being wasted in regret. Lots of if 's and only. Only If this didn't happen then things would be different today etc. etc. This past type of wastfull thinking comes in infinite combinations that are a waste of time. You cannot go back and change anything. It is water under the bridge.
Just as wasteful is dreading the future. Or spending so much time planning for what you do not know that very little time is spent on the now. The "BE". What is the future ? No one knows. except that the future is built of a whole bunch of nows, or the moments where you are in the "BE". If you are building a futures of "BE'S" or "nows" consiously and with happiness then does that not build a happy future or happiness ? One thing for sure is you won't be able to look back on the past with regret if you live in the now and "BE" one moment at a time.
Does happiness start in the way we think ? Yes I think it does. Can we just tell ourselves to think, act and be happy and merry. NO that is difficult. Can we start to live in the moment the now and to just "BE" ? YES WE CAN !!! The start is to think in the now. Stay in the Moment and to "BE"
Try and start there. See what happens. I think that it is the beginning of the search of happiness.

Is Happiness material.
Today we start to think of what happiness is . Is it something material ? This means is there something that you can purchase, own and touch that provides happiness. It probably does provide happiness for some of us. Is it true happiness? Will it keep making us happy for years to come or will we need to purchase something again to make us happy ? Start to explore these questions to get near happiness.
If it isn't physical is it mental. Maybe it is simply a state of mind. If it is a state of mind then can one sustain this state of mind for the rest of our lives to keep giving happiness ? Lets find some reading on the subject and get busy reading the meaning of happiness.
Could it be that happiness has a few things in common between all of us. It may be that one thing that creates happiness in one persons life is not the same as another persons life ?
I was in a life changing experience after I got injured in an accident. It made me rethink happiness and it's meaning. I still can find happiness. How much different is it than prior to my accident. Stay tuned to this blog and periodically we will write and explore these and many more questions about happiness. Hopefully we will all be on the right path to happiness in our lives.
