What makes you happy?

Illustration by Lehla Eldridge

Isn’t it strange how we spend so much time pursuing things that will never make us happy?

We chase money and fame, and sometimes affections of those who do not care. We can’t wait for the weekend, so we waste our week waiting, and we buy lottery tickets hoping for deliverance
from our sorry lot.

Remember, that week we can’t wait to get past is called “life”.

Stop and think about what really makes you happy.

Now, you know what to do.

Happy?

“Now and then it's good to pause in our
pursuit of happiness and just be happy.”
~{Guilaume Apollinaire}~

Guilaume reminds us that so much of happiness depends on just enjoying whatever we happen to be doing. It’s good to do what we like, but better still to like what we do.

So relax and enjoy yourself, even if you are not doing what would optimally create happiness.
