So i have been thinking, its easy to just say i am looking for 'happiness' in life... but have you really thought about what happiness really is... there are the obvious things that come to mind... its intangible , an emotion you cant quantify or take hold of (probably we can just express it or just feel it)... its personal, it differs based on the person & personality (what makes me happy might not necessarily work for you)... it makes me think of Maslow and his hierarchy of needs...your needs kind of determine what makes you happy... you can control it, it comes n it goes when it does... hmmm...
The odd thing with this is that its not consistent!! you can enjoy something so much, that it makes you happy, but maybe enjoying it again wont give you the same satisfaction... then you look for something else that makes you happy... you come to the place of enjoyment, again you keep moving on... its a strange thing... so hard to put a finger on cause it keeps changing everyday...for me, sometimes it just changes based on my mood... if i am in a energetic mood i enjoy going to the gym. there is a sense of worthiness when you come out, knowing you did something good.. it really put my spirits right up making me happy... but then some days i am in such a low when i just think of the gym...
so its continuously changing, going in cycles and never a consistent thing... just something you can experience... but strangely its the one thing that everyone in the planet is trying to get hold of... something we cant hold on to nor control!
