The pursuit of happiness

Many people would associate that headline with the film starring Will Smith and his son Jaden (which is by the way one of my favorite films) but in this case I want to talk about happiness itself.

Happiness is important to everyone, a life without it nearly is not possible, and everyone would be sad and depressed all the time. But- there are still people who chase happiness because they are unhappy with their life and situation.

But chasing happiness will not make anyone happier; they might get even sadder. Happiness can’t be bought and you can’t actually earn it just at the time you need it.

The secret is that you have to wait for it until it comes to you. You have to be patient and remain waiting in silence. And then, at a moment when you expect it the least, happiness will come to you.

I don’t want to sound kitschy at all but that’s just the way it is. So many people are unhappy because they take things too serious and then wonder why they are not happy. Deep inside everyone of us has got the strong desire to be happy- so why not throw all the worries away and just have a good time?

For some people it might sound more difficult than it actually is, especially when they are having a down. But you should keep in mind that there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel!

I myself am a very optimistic person and I love to infect others with that cheerfulness.

Don’t give up and keep being patient- maybe happiness is just around the corner! ;-) 

... and here's a great song of Pharell Williams that always cheers me up- listen to it and you will notice how your happiness is growing!
