Give Up Your Pursuit Of Happiness

By Evan Sanders


Happiness isn't somethign that just shows up in our lives whenever we feel like it. Happiness depends on our actions.

End your pursuit of happiness.

Perhaps Hollywood, magazines, talk shows etc. wouldn't really like this concept too much because it would cut down on viewership if people followed through with it, but I am actually going to say it again. End your pursuit of happiness.

Rather, understand that it is in our daily actions and growth all though life that we truly find accomplishment, and in the end, deep and true happiness.

I'm not suggesting that happiness isn't an incredibly important aspect in each of our lives - it'd be ignorant to claim such a thing. What I am simply proposing is that perhaps there's a different path we could actually take that will direct us to greater happiness all throughout our life. Possibly we should be targeting more on the development of our mind, body, and soul each and every day in small increments to guarantee that we are constantly growing and changing in positive ways? This could be a particularly interesting alternate track to take instead of always looking for something that we will never truly grasp onto.

If we are constantly growing, we feel that we are making progress in our lives and are thus happy with how things are going. However, aimlessly hunting for an emotion that cannot truly be gripped onto like other emotion we experience seems a bit hopeless when it comes down to it. There must be another way of doing things which will help us get more successful in life in the long run.

So what if you tried on this way of doing things for a bit and allowed yourself to focus on growth instead of happiness?

Who is able to say what might happen?

All I know is that fulfillment in life is attached to personal growth and development and that contentment really isn't far behind.

Food for thought.
