Happiness is... ?Home
>> Happiness In fact, of the fifty or so websites that I have built over the years for myself (or clients) -- I used to be a web designer, see -- I can safely say that creating the Self Help Collective is my most satisfying work experience (so far ;-)). I just love writing about this self-help stuff, even if I don't have all the answers. And when the site is finished, it'll be fun and stimulating (and NOT a chore) to maintain. Does that sound like a man contented with his working lot, a happy man? I think so... Doing what you enjoy in life definitely helps you to be happy. That's what I say, anyway. Okay, enough about me (for now) - please let me know what you think!
HappinessWhat I say...I can't give you a definition of happiness, or tell you what it is, or even give you a 'how to' but I can sum up what it is to me, right now, if that will help. This is my happiness list: happiness is...
Clearly happiness is... quite the silliest thing, and very difficult to describe, but it has to be authentic. (What does your 'happiness is...' list look like? Do let me know!) It can not really be described that's why, or calculated (like they try to do in those happy surveys) - it can only be felt, and experienced. Quotes help give us a clue, quotations like these:
And poems help too! But finding Happyness is much more than understanding a quotation or two. And I do not believe the answer lies in the pursuit of happyness (though I did like Will Smith's film The Pursuit of Happyness - it made me laugh and cry!). And I probably know as much about the
art of (or how to find) happiness as you
do... And, finally, happiness is... sharing my taste of music with visitors to the Self Help Collective. A happy tune by Lemon Jelly no less called 'Nice Weather for Ducks' :-) PS I forgot to mention that we also discuss love and (that happy word) on the website, too. I just didn't want to give you too much 'happy juice' in one go! Lol What they say..."Happiness is emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy." Hmm, thank you WikiPedia "Finding
true happiness and self-actualization starts with our tips to help you find happiness
from within. We will help you on your quest for personal growth" That's
what The
Happy Guy has to say, so I guess he must know something about the
meaning of happy-ness. "Happiness is everywhere you choose to find it." Well, at least that's what I think Gretchen (of the Happiness Project) is trying to say in her inspirational video called The Bus Ride Movie. And the Dalai Llama says this... "The
basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one Okay, okay they say a lot about this precious subject, but I'm not sure any of it helps really. Are you any the wiser (or happier)? Perhaps what's needed is for you to share your feelings now, or at least see what other visitors to this website think... (see below)
