Happiness is one of those things that is very difficult to describe. It's sorta like you feel it when you feel it. You know it when you experience it.
Like a drug addict searching for the feeling after that first hit, I think people are constantly chasing, seeking, yearning, wanting, craving happiness.
I actually put it right up there with good diggity and we all want good diggity, right?
Any who.
Happiness is one of those things that no matter how you wanna describe it, you just can't.
I had a conversation with a guy who said, "I just want to be happy" when asking what he was looking for in a potential mate.
Hmmmmmm.
Now we all know that happiness is a compilation of stuff, but it's the stuff that makes up happiness that we cannot necessarily put our finger on. It's like a perfect recipe -- 2 teaspoons of this so if 5 teaspoons are put in ugggg. Sour taste in our mouths.
Gretchin Rubin, a best selling writer, has a book called "The Happiness Project." In the book, she writes about how she used theories and studies to help with happiness.
One ingredient of happiness she says is if you make others happy. Take the quiz at her site: http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/05/quiz-do-you-make-other-people-happy.html
And then tell me what are some of the components of happiness for you?
