The Happiness Factor
If you analyze people’s actions, you will conclude that they all are in search for happiness. Going to the movies, eating in a restaurant or going to a party are motivated by the desire to be happy. Sometimes the movie is not interesting, the food is not good and the party is boring. Then the search for happiness continues. Maybe the next time the search for happiness will be more successful. If that happens then the activity is sought again in order to repeat the happy feeling.
Â
We keep flitting from one action to another in search for happiness. Sometimes in our search for happiness we become selfish and hurt other people, sometimes deliberately.
No matter what the activity is, at the moment that happiness is experienced, something happens. The thinking process stops. Worries fade away. There is inner peace. In this vast peace we feel happy. It is not the object gained or the successful performance that brought this feeling. It is something internal and independent of the outside world. We feel momentarily like our search for happiness has ended.
When you gain the ability to have a quiet mind under all circumstances, you will enjoy constant happiness. This is quite attainable, but to gain this peace and happiness you need to work towards it. By making the first step today, your search for happiness will yield results and happiness will start filling your life.
