Cultivating Happiness

The word happiness gets thrown around quite a bit these days. You probably don’t even give it much consideration. We all “want” to be happy and we all chase this elusive thing called happiness.

Where do you look for happiness? Is it in relationships or in material purchases? If you are like most people, happiness will come when you retire, when you buy that new house, or get that promotion. The list goes on and on. It’s human nature.

However, is happiness based on something else “out there”, or is it based on how you act and behave throughout your day, your world, and your life? More importantly, does happiness come from what shows up in your world or does it show up in the world you create for yourself?

Most people wait for happiness to come to them rather than nurturing and growing it themselves. Happiness is something that needs your attention and devotion. If you want it, then you have to cultivate it.
