"I’ve learned over the years that if you try hard to make yourself happy, then you will end up being less happy than you were when you started. This is because you have preconceived notions about what happiness should look like. You have your ideas of what being happy is. You have your expectations. And naturally, as humans, we are never a hundred percent satisfied before new expectations pop up. Thus the cycle begins again. Why can’t we learn to take happiness and blessings as they come instead? These spontaneous little things are far more satisfying than presupposed, planned attempts at finding bliss. You don’t expect them to come. You don’t have criterions that they’re suppose to meet up to. You don’t have a checklist of things these occurrences are supposed to be like. What you do have is happiness, and isn’t that what you were looking for in the first place?"
I wrote this as I was brainstorming ideas for the mini-speech I have to give at fellowship tomorrow. It's not perfect or complete, but these are my realizations.
It's in the little things.
You don't have to fervently search for happiness; it's already there for you.
