Congratulations on being hired! The joy you felt in this moment was boundless, reaching beyond the skies. However, as time went on, the initial euphoria faded, and the new job began to feel routine. We've all experienced this.
As children, our concept of happiness often revolved around the idea of growing up, gaining freedom, and making our own choices. We eagerly awaited the day when we could take control of our lives and pursue our dreams. Yet, as we transitioned into adulthood and embarked on our careers, we found ourselves confronted with a new reality. Despite our accomplishments and financial stability, we discovered that true happiness was more elusive than we had imagined.
In our quest for happiness, we often fall into the trap of chasing after external markers of success – a high-paying job, a luxurious lifestyle, or social recognition. However, as we strive to attain these goals, we may find ourselves feeling unfulfilled and longing for something more.
It is during these moments of introspection that we come to realize that happiness is not a destination to be reached, but rather a journey to be embraced. It is not a constant state but rather a collection of fleeting moments and experiences that bring joy and fulfillment to our lives.
On this World Happiness Day, let us take a moment to reflect on the true nature of happiness and the role it plays in our lives. Let us cultivate gratitude for the small joys that brighten our days and appreciate the beauty of the present moment. And let us remember that true happiness lies not in the pursuit of perfection, but in the acceptance of life's imperfections and the ability to find joy in the journey.

In conclusion, happiness is not a destination that we arrive at, but rather a journey that we embark on each day. It is found not in the pursuit of external markers of success, but in the simple moments of joy and connection that fill our lives. As we celebrate International Day of Happiness, let us embrace the complexity of happiness and savor the beauty of life's many blessings.

1 年You say "collection of fleeting moments", that leans more towards nostalgia, a craving for what was. In the Buddhist context there's not a definition for happiness, but there is a definition for "not suffering" - Thoughtless present moment
