Are you happy? Would you
like to be happy or happier? If you think, ‘I’d need to know your definition of
happiness before I can really answer those questions,’ you’d likely be correct.
According to some, happiness is an elusive and ethereal quality that it rarely
obtainable and definitely unsustainable. Living that definition tends to
involve expectations that some place
(the environment) or some thing (what
you have) or some one (who you know)
creates and gives you happiness. Nothing could be farther from the truth in my brain’s
opinion. Coming up with a universal definition is likely elusive. For purposes
of this blog, here’s mine:
Happiness is a mindset that is evidenced by positivity,
life satisfaction, and realistic optimism
that can range from calm contentment to moments of intense joy. This state
of mind involves a decision about how to respond to both desirable and
undesirable events in life—a choice that impacts yourself as well as others
along with your health and likely your longevity.
What is your definition? More tomorrow.
