Finding Happiness

Well here’s the thing we all, that’s you, me, your neighbor, the cab driver and even you enemies all have in common, no matter the color of our skin, our age, or our gender, its this we all want to live a happy life.

To find a happy job, happy relationships, happy lifestyle and happy living.

So now what is happiness?

Happiness is an emotion that we describe for when something external is giving us a temporary relief from the unhappiness that we find inside.

Fullfilment, on the other hand, is our infinite natural state when we stop seeking for something externally to bring us happiness.

The only reason we seek to find happiness in our external world is because we aren’t fulfilled internally.

Many fear their infinite nature and believe themselves to be limited.

This fear misleads us to seek who we are in our external world.

Yet, in building our identities externally to find happiness, meaning and purpose will always be subject to the emotional ups and downs corresponding with external ups and downs, or gains and losses.

The “Truth,” however, is that if we were to stop seeking for happiness externally, we would realize that we are happiness itself.

This is what allows us to realize the purpose and meaning of what we call our “Life.”

That is what is it means to be truly fulfilled.

For as long as someone seeks to fix, improve, or change the external identity so that they may find “happiness” they will be met with both happiness and unhappiness.

They will be met with life’s grand illusionary game, a game that cannot be won, only played.

It’s only when you “let go” of trying to win this “game of life” that you shall free yourself to experience fulfilment and remember the meaning and the purpose of who you truly are.
