Did you have every that empty feeling that something is still missing? You wonder hey, I have more than most or i have accomplished more this year than ever. .. but still have that empty feeling? It seems that the whole of the human race is plagued with never ending search for happiness! Youve heard it before pinging of the walls of your mind, Oh ill be happy when this happens or until that happens. Then it dawns on you, that day will never happen, until you realize that your happiness is witin you!
The secret, if you want to call it that, is that happiness lies within ourselves, and not anything outside of ourselves.. Wow most people dont get that I mean really get that until they are advanced in years!
The Bible has something to say about this, As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.. We are the source of most of our unhappiness.
Its as if we havent explored every planet of our imagination, traversed the universe, and conquered kingdoms. The story is told of young Alexander the Great, when he conquered all the known world, he sat down and wept.. for there were no more kingdoms to conquer.
We dont have that problem, it seems that we expect so much from life and ourselves, that we cant be content with the simple things of life. Have you ever read about or talked to somebody who had done it all and achieved at a very high level and still said SOMETHING WAS MISSING? HUH?
Gretchen Rubin was a lawyer clerking for Sandra Day O'Connor, former justice at the Supreme Court, who had a epiphany one day while riding a cross town bus in NY? She had graduated from Yale, an Ivy Leaguer, but realized " Hey what about my happiness anyway? " She then realized that she was on the track, and decided that she wanted to write for a living. Savvy in social media, she has gained quite a following with her NY times best seller, The Happiness Project.

She goes on a journey to discover all about that search for happiness. I cant even begin to go into all of it, but I will leave you with a quote from Robert Louis Stevenson, and the link to her great project that I have found wonderfully helpful. This is another gem that you can use, share, and more importantly integrate into your daily life!

Also another tool, that I hope you wont skim over, but will use. The Happiness Tool Box.

The Happy Until Trap, is a cruel hoax perpetuated by the world and our consumer society. Its really quite simple..
Let me leave you with the words of Stevenson. "to forget one's self is to be happy!"
