Where Can Happiness Be Found

Wherein lies happiness? Can happiness be found?

All of us seek happiness. All of us want to be happy. Nobody wants to be sad, miserable and unhappy. And yet, there are so many unhappy people around. Why is happiness so elusive? Or is it really? Maybe the fault lies in our looking for happiness in the wrong places, in our not understanding what happiness means, and what makes us happy.

One of the simplest ways to stay happy is letting go of the things that make you sad. Do not cling on to things that make you unhappy. If you do that, you are choosing to be unhappy.

Expect nothing, and appreciate what you have. Happiness cannot be far from a grateful heart and peaceful mind.

Where else can you find happiness? Work. Happiness is found when you are engaged in work. When you are doing something that you are passionate about, and engaged in it wholeheartedly, you will have no time to be unhappy.
