Do you feel there is something missing from
your life? That perhaps the world is against you or that other people seem to
smile, laugh and be a lot more happy and contented in life than you are? Have
you ever stopped to wonder why this might be? Moreover, what you can do about
it? Have you even considered what happiness actually is?
Happiness and contentment in life differs for
all of us, what makes one person happy doesn’t necessarily bring contentment to
another. Very often we are happy in life but we just don’t realize it. Very
often the hustle and bustle of life can completely overtake all else and leaves
us little time to enjoy the things that make us smile and enjoy life to the
fullest. If you stop and sit down and think about what actually makes you happy
and feel contented, you might actually find you have those things already
around you but you just didn’t realize it.
However there are times when we can get into
a slump and haven’t yet come across the conditions that we regard as bringing
happiness and contentment. If this is the case then you have to figure out what
changes you need to make, to bring happiness into your life, in most cases it
is the smallest of things which bring happiness and you have the power to gain
them by working towards them.
Your happiness and contentment depends
entirely on you, no one else can give it you, it is something inside you that
you have to find and work towards. You can either decide to stop in the rut or
to take positive action and make changes to your life or yourself in order to
accomplish contentment.
In order to understand what happiness means
to you, the first step you should take is looking at your emotions, ask
yourself questions such as “if I could be enjoying something in my life, what
would it be?” and “what makes me feel contented in my life right now?” Once you
understand what your vision of happiness and contentment is you can build on
what you have now or focus on changing your life to what you would like it to
be.
The important thing to remember is to examine
your feelings by way of the answers you give to your questions, examine them
honestly and concentrate on the good or bad feelings that you get from your
questions and answers.
There is no magic spell or potion that can
bring you contentment and happiness, it is something that is already right
there inside of you, you just have to realize what it is and develop and bring
it out to start enjoying life. Happiness can be found in family life, work,
relationships, nature or a pet, to name just a few, in fact it can be found in
anything and any situation if you just know where to look and look in the right
direction, the inner you.
