Happiness is not something you can attain and keep
I’m not even sure happiness exists.
Not in the sense that most people think.
Happiness is not something you can strive for and finally achieve…
When you have achieved enough in your life…
Earned enough money,
Bought enough things,
Got that pay rise or that promotion.
Happiness is moments.
Many of them fleeting.
Watching a movie and shared laughter
A smile at bedtime
Ten minutes sitting in the garden enjoying the fresh air.
Even remembering a moment that gave you joy once.
I don’t strive for happiness in my life.
I just try to pay attention to the moments when they arrive.
