Striving for Happiness

I like this quote because of the word “strive.” In our hyper-busy world, I think that we have to actively strive to find happiness in a way that truly fills our lives. We have to make the unexpected decisions about careers, follow our hearts, brush aside the overload that is thrown at us all the time, perhaps meditate about what we can be thankful for.

Finding happiness is a pursuit – a striving – a priority. Life hands us unexpected turns all the time – if we submerge our todays in mediocrity for the purpose of happiness tomorrow those twists and turns may mean we never actually find the happiness we seek.

I'm not talking about instant self-gratification above all else.  Simply that each of us should make assuring that each day includes some joy a priority.

What are you doing – today – to bring you joy?
