The Pursuit of Happiness

Hello Beautiful World!! I was watching a show recently and the question was asked “Are you happy?” In response to that question, another question was asked “How do you define happy?” Such a profound question to ask. Many of us accept the definition of happiness based on what we’ve been taught in church, at home, and in society. But how many of us take the time to really define for yourself what happiness means to you? In Pharrell’s song Happy, one line of his lyrics says:

 . . . like a room without a roof . . .

Some of us really can relate to this definition of happiness, while others give Pharrell the side-eye and say “why would a room without a roof make me happy??” So, I want to encourage you to take a moment and think about what makes you happy – and go do it. If it’s laughing for no good reason, do it. If it’s dancing in the rain, do it!  Do something every day that makes you happy. And while you’re at it, go and do something that will make someone else happy. You’ll discover that by sharing happiness with others, you’ll become ten times happier than just doing something for yourself.You’re future self will thank you for it!!

Happy-1

Go forth and be happy today and everyday!
