for many years I pursued happiness because I kept thinking that if I had" a better job, more money, a nice place to live, a great husband, I would be happy" Of course I came to realize that you can nor pursue happiness, you have to find it in your self. I was about 20 when I was in a doctor's office and his receptionist told me of a friend of hers that her friend would only be happy after saving up $10,000 to go home in Europe to visit her family. So for many years she saved every penny she could and after many years had enough to buy tickets to go home.I will be so happy when I step off the plane and see my family she declared.
Well you can guess the rest, she was killed on the way to the airport in a car crash.So here was some one who saved and scrimped and declared she would never be happy, and she never was.I am now in my late 60's and do not wait to be happy. I find happiness every where I look, at the sun or even a cloudy day, because I carry my happiness around in me. I do not need a special reason to be happy, I am happy because I am much more myself and the way I want to feel.
