Hello everyone!
This is becoming a habit for me! Getting into the habit of writing regularly. I wonder how long I can keep this up! It’s kind of a rewarding activity because I think one day, I will look back at all of this and it will put a smile on my face! Maybe you should consider doing something similar!
I want to spend my morning bus ride to work discussing the subject that I touched upon frequently… Happiness…
Now what is Happiness? Everyone wants it! It’s quite a desired state to be!
I don’t know about you but to me what constitutes happiness are the following in no particular order (I may add more as they pop into my head in the future):
- When myself, my family and everyone I care about are alive and healthy!
- MUSIC!!
- The feeling of internal PEACE!
- Having LOVE and PASSION in my life!
- Being able to help those in need!
- Seeing nature and all the every day beauty surrounding me!
- Knowing that I have people I can turn to in times of trouble!
- Being on stage and performing!
- Great food!
- Having a job and being financially secure!
- Being able to learn something new every day!
- Having goals to fulfill, a sense of direction!
Writing all of this down to start my day puts a big smile on my face and makes me happy! What wonderful blessings I have in my life!
It calls forth a song to my mind:
I invite you all to join me sometime today. Take a moment, jot down a few things that constitutes happiness and can make you smile. If you find it missing in your life currently, make a list of steps that you can take to get to that place. One baby step at a time… YOU CAN DO IT!
Wishing you a HAPPY DAY!
There have also been some studies of how religion relates to happiness . Causal relationships remain unclear, but more religion is seen in happier people. This correlation may be the result of community membership and not necessarily belief in religion itself. Another component may have to do with ritual.
