Pursuing and Attaining Happiness

If people have a common pursuit in this life that would be the pursuit of happiness, am I right? Nobody wants to live miserable and sad lives and everybody would do what it takes to attain complete happiness. Sometimes in our pursuit of happiness, we tend to neglect the more essential things. Let me share some points on how one can stay happy and still take care of the more important matters.

If you want to be happy in life, you have to learn to let go. For example, you can let go of cleaning the house for a day. Yes, a clean house is very important but if your housekeeping standards are preventing you from being happy, I say you relax from it. You’ll get burn out if you don’t. And eventually, what you consider a delight will turn into an obligation.

Have you forgotten how to enjoy because you’re drowned with office work and household chores? Give yourself a break, my friend. Even for one day, be like a little child and stop worrying about what you will eat and what you will wear. If you don’t know how to do that, spend time with your children. They can probably teach you how to play and laugh more.

A to-do list will be of great help to you so try to make one if you don’t have one yet. It will help separate the more important from the less important tasks that you need to accomplish. Don’t multitask. Be like a dove that only focuses on a single object at a time. Or be like laser. When focused, laser can burn even through the most concrete of steels.

The point of being happy is not getting everything you want. If that’s the case, then King Solomon should be the happiest person in the universe since he’s the richest man who ever lived. But if you read his accounts, in his later years, he confessed that his life was meaningless. And that’s what’s going to happen to you if you don’t learn to be content in life. I guess that’s the secret to real happiness after all.

Always remember that you only have 60 to 80 years to live. Live wisely and don’t let worry kill you. Above all else, know that your health is the most important thing of all - next is your family and loved ones. Live one day at a time and stay happy forever.
