'Happiness'
- it's a good feeling, ain't it? It's so good, that people dedicate their whole
lives searching for it...you know what I'm talking about - I mean that
Christmassy, summery, holiday-y feeling of contentment that you don't notice
arriving, and yet is overwhelming once it’s arrived...
But it's
funny how this one word; this one, same feeling that we (myself included) chase
daily, can be defined or at least described so differently and so diversely
between people who are, for all intents and purposes, so very similar in their
everyday lives...
For one
person it's making that 'big sale!'
so that they get their four-fifths commish(ion); for another it's leaving work
on time so they have chance to go for a run before the evening's done; and for
others it's as simple as getting through the day to see that certain someone
who brightens up their day with one of those big, beaming smiles...
Yep,
happiness is individual, it's shifting and it's abstract. But it's also
wonderful, intoxicating and addictive!

Rodriguez is working on a project to get people talking about happiness and to
see if we can share each other's idea of it. I think it’s a swell idea and I'm
flattered to have been a (small) part of it...
This is
what I think, but I'm left wondering - what do you think? Leave a comment below
and let me/Gafas - and the rest of the world - know what 'happiness' means to
you...
Just a
thought...
Happiness is knowing..
ReplyDeleteKnowing you're going to Friends or family or someone special..
Knowing you're going home after a long day
Knowing your favourite programme is on
Or knowing youve done a good job or helped someone..
I think knowing is the key to happiness.. And the unknown is that mixture of fear and excitement that gets the heart racing..
Perhaps happiness is contentment?!
Happiness is always put under pressure.. Life is made up of special small moments that in years to come, when you look back, will realise happiness is ever changing .., what you knew when you were 5 and what made you happy is completely different to what you know now & what makes you happy...
I've tried to remember a moment in my life that I could pinpoint as 'The Happiest' in order to give me some clarity as to what makes me happy, as to what happiness means to me. I genuinely can't pinpoint just one moment. I'm happy, I have a life filled with happiness.
ReplyDeleteMy happiness comes from the love I feel from my family and my friends and the love that I give.
Happiness, to me, is love.
I'm sitting on a pretty comfortable couch at my brother's house, having a cup of coffee while I'm reading a very nice post on my dear friend's blog. Happiness for me is this very moment!
