If you chase happiness, it will run away faster than you can catch up with it. Why is that?
Because when you strive to create happiness, that very act of striving pushes the happiness away. The more you want it, the less you have of it.
Happiness is not something you can go out and get. Real happiness does not have to depend on creating a certain set of circumstances.
Happiness is a way you can choose to be. And you can simply choose it at any time, in any circumstance.
When you do, you instantly become more creative and effective, more authentic and fully alive. Living from a perspective of happiness, you're able to live at your best because you see positive value everywhere you look.
Stop striving to get happiness and just choose to be happy, right where you are. Give your happiness to life, and watch as its positive power fills your world.

About Me
- melvis0803
- I have decided to start this blog for several reasons. The first and foremost is because of my children, and as I grow older and wonder about my own parents and family, I realize that I had no idea what their feelings were or what they were thinking at the time. My family wasn't much for the idea of communicating. LOL. The second reason is for myself, because I've come to realize that I"ve traveled a great deal of this journey of life and hopefully I have further to go, but I have a hard time remembering the moments or the reasons that I became who I am today and who I will become tomarrow. I used to constantly write stories and poems and songs to help me sort through my feelings and ideas and emotions, but over the years as life evolves, I guess you just keep the good stuff on the back burner. That and the fact that I never seem to get a moment to actually write stuff down (or perhaps too lazy to write long handed) gives me the conclusion that I needed to do this for my own self.
