I just read an article titled, “Is the USA moving toward a
happiness index?” by Wendy Koch. It is a very interesting article in which
surveys are taken and certain indicators are examined to measure our happiness.
Statistics has shown from the previous ten to thirty years that it hasn’t been
a tremendous difference in happiness.
I believe happiness is an inside job that each individual
has to discover in his or her own way. Happiness comes from engaging in
activities that you enjoy that meet your satisfaction and seeing progress made in life. As we know, money
cannot buy happiness. I am aware of some of the wealthiest people who are not
happy. To them, there is something lacking in his or her life that will promote
happiness. Happiness is when voids and emptiness are fulfilled with what that
individual has been yearning for. Happiness is a choice that we must make on
our own. No one can force happiness on an individual. Seeing those voids and
emptiness replaced with joy and favor, boosts
individuals’ morale knowing that he or she is an over comer.
What makes me happy? I am happy when I see my goals are
being achieved, having a positive impact on other people’s lives, and seeing
progress in my life. When I witness accomplishments made in my life that serve
as a positive impact on other lives, that makes me happy. Knowing others have
been touched in an optimistic way by a good deed that I’ve done, makes me
happy. In conclusion, happiness derives from adversities that one may
experience which should’ve turned out as a harmful or dangerous result. But,
the outcome was reversed in the individual’s best interest. When shown favor in
the most drastic situations, one should be very happy. I enjoy being that
special one out the crowd interacting with others that makes the entire crowd of
unhappy people become happy.Real Happiness Lies Within
