happy-or
could
you?
Life
requires
more
than
just
what
we
want.
Inevitably，one
must
understand
to
truly
find“happiness，”he
must
make
his
own
happiness“happen”.
Sounds
a
bit
redundant，but
truthfully，there
is
no
set
guidelines
that
will
bring
one
happiness.
There
is
no“magic
wand”we
can
wave
to
bring
joy
into
our
lives.
Human
nature
thrives
on
the
thrill
of
the
chase.
We
dream
and
we
hope
for
the
next
big
break-it
is
the
grand
adventure
of
living.
We
are
hopeless
creatures
of
comfort.
We
like
having
and
accumulating
things.
Whether
one
admits
to
it
or
not，to
a
certain
degree，we
all
try
to
keep
up
with“the
Jones”.
We
work
so
we
can
pay
our
rents，mortgages，credit
card
debts，school
loans，car
payments...
the
list
goes
on
and
on.
And
at
some
point，we
realize，that
aside
from
having
most
of
what
we
want，we
still
aren’t
happy.
Now
since
we’ve
learned
to
adapt
to
new
standards
which
we’ve
created
for
ourselves，we
find
that
we
have
less
time，less
patience，less
sleep，which
equates
to
more
stress，more
worry
and
more
aggravation.
So，is
happiness
honestly
just
comprised
of“things”?
Sometimes，we
virtually
trade
our
lives
for
not
only
basic
necessities，but
for
excessive
items
and
services
as
well.
We
become
so
obsessed
with
finding
happiness，that
we
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
happiness
is
within-always.
Certainly
you’ve
heard
of
individuals
trying
to“find
themselves”，or“rediscover
themselves”.
The
reason
they
are
attempting
these
innovative
approaches
is
because
they
are
seeking
inner
happiness.
But
