Happiness cannot develop the power of the mind. Persons of great power have not always lived happily. But to live beneficially, happiness is surely required.
If happiness is your goal, you may find life too challenging to find time for happiness. Many unhappy things will occur. If your wife wants you to be happy with your new Harley Davidson but you do not find enough time to ride it, both of you will grow disappointed. Oh well, she tried.
Happiness is not the apparent goal. Happiness becomes some kind of a result. If processing some effort to develop something that makes you happy…making it stay becomes nearly impossible. Happiness is fleeting. Maybe happiness is like playing in the sand instead of making a sand castle. Maybe happiness is found in the joy of the journey, rather than, where the journey ends. Accomplishing goals is one thing…but happiness seems to come from working on getting there.
Never forget the power of your thoughts. Thoughts control the center of your thinking. If you are thinking happy, you are likely working happy. If your feelings include what you are trying to do, maybe you are parking closer to some kind of happiness. Live happy, it is more fun.
Happiness without truth does not become happiness. It is kind of hard to fake happiness.
To manipulate happiness with false events that disguise the truth is the most costly counterfeiting our society allows. It is not a punishable crime of society, only of the heart.
Most folks have not yet learned that it is not what we own, what we do, what we see, nor what we have that makes us happy, but rather, what we are.
Loneliness is not to be mistaken as happiness.
