Do I HAVE to be happy?

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

Finding happiness can be a journey. Does it come from the people around us? The precipitating factors of Our Lives? Or is happiness a destination that we are constantly seeking?

Quite frankly, happiness is personal. For me it’s coming home to my dogs after work each day, or maybe it’s just coming home in general. From work.

It’s the fact that my flowers are thriving and I haven’t killed them yet. Happiness could be my favorite cloud formation in the sky (mammatus), when half of the sky is dark the with threat of weather and the other half is sunny.. and the juxtaposition of both is breathtakingly beautiful.

I suppose the state of happiness is influenced by what’s going on around us at any given time.

I guess that means we have to make time for happiness if we are having a hard time finding it. Do what brings you Joy and celebrate all of the little things.
