Thank you for this perspective. Happiness is something it seems we all seek by living in the moment.

People always ask me how I’m so happy all the time.
I tried putting it into terms others can understand: Acceptance and positivity. I accept things as they are and make peace with them. My view is we can have problems and situations we can’t change and complain about them, or we can make peace with them.

Positivity is an attitude. Basically, if something makes you happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone else, then that something is ok.

Also, it seems focus plays a big part in happiness. If we can find a few things in the moment that we like in the moment, and focus on those things, we can get our mind to ‘shut up’ about the negative things we’re always stressing over.

Its something different ways that explained about the mind attitude, really happiness dosn’t require money, things etc, we can be happy in what ever we have only the way of we think. Just keep attension/tension away from which your mind get dipressed or become unhappy & constrate by what your mind get happy like forgetting office tensions in home & watching laughter channel or speak happy things, there are some other ways too like going to some fun places which makes happy, there are still several ways just we have to search & act accordingly.

A very innovative contrary musings on this elusive happiness hunt of us. Specially, I loved the words,
“We fail to realize a fatal flaw in our logic: what matters most is how you feel. Now.”

Yes, indeed our mind is myth player. Very realistic rare idea there in this post: the same mind induces us to do a thing, and later the same mind reprimands us for the same act.

Great article, though I thought the ending kind of petered out.

What we really need is to identify negative thinking and counter it consciously. Negative thoughts will translate into negative action.

Yes, it comes down to loving yourself. Happiness is internal not external.

For me happiness is all about choice – making conscious decisions about life now and being aware and willing to accept the consequences of those choices. But the key is doing it all NOW – in the moment with an eye to the future (instead of doing it in the future with an eye to the now).

Great post!
