Happiness

Happy November

"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions."- The Dalai Lama.

    What is happiness? According to Mahatma Gandhi, "Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony". Is it attainable? Is it dependent on others? What really makes us happy?
Is it money in the bank, material things or people? I guess happiness means different things to different people. Tell me what really makes you happy.

    I agree with the Dalai Lama that happiness comes from your own actions, therefore it is not dependent upon another. Hence, if you want to be happy, the responsibility lies with you.

    If happiness comes from our own actions, how come people always say "Oh, he/she makes me so happy". What happens to you when that person or thing is no longer in your life? Will you suddenly become an unhappy individual? I know people and things can and do give you joy, but on the question of happiness that is your choice. Just like love is a choice, so is happiness.

    So, folks, when people treat you badly and have no regard for your well-being, quit deceiving yourself and stop saying that they make you so happy.

Just saying.
