When I review many of the blogs I’ve written, I see the topic of happiness come up a lot — the pursuit of and the desire for. Conducting a cyber search reveals more of the same. Thankfully, I’ve discovered those things in my life which bring me joy in small doses. But what about a life filled with minute-by-minute happiness? And what does being happy truly mean? For me, the definition is subjective. What makes one person happy may do nothing for the next person. Some say it’s a deliberate choice, while others base their happiness on their circumstances. I’m learning that a life of pure happiness means living transparently rather than simply surviving. And that this only happens by moving forward in all my good, bad and ugly, grateful for the precious few traveling with me — the ones who accept my flaws and celebrate my strengths along the way. Because the more I can be myself, the closer I become to minute-by-minute happiness.
What’s your definition of happiness?
