Happiness is not a destination, it is the journey going until the end of physical life, from birth to physical death.
Like a car trip, we can laugh, sing, and enjoy the ride, or be miserable, depressed and unconfident.
The best way to live happiness is to be doing what we love to do the most, especially be with who we love the most to be with, and to put our best joyful effort into it. The people who we love the most are an energy that surrounds us, it is called love, the most precious energy that exists.
Happiness is not increased with money “things”, power, or career. The fact that so many educated, rich, powerful, and such people are so miserable is living proof of this.
Happiness is making the journey fit into whatever fills your heart with joy.
Genuine happiness is what pours from other people’s hearts into your heart. And the more love you pour into other people’s lives/hearts, the more most will pour back into yours. This is a beautiful cycle of being content, feeling wanted, needed, worthy, appreciated and loved.
A toxic environment and toxic people will wilt happiness and they will grey the joy and sunshine out with doom and gloom thinking.
We must take care of the journey of life like it is a garden. We must nurture it, keep it clean, feed it with healthy choices and good decisions, and fill the journey with people who are like minded, precious to our hearts, and we hold them near like jewels of life.
A journey worth living is a journey we won’t want to leave. True joy is basing our life on who shared our lives, not the things that we did. And who was with us without pressure, who gave as much as we gave in a balanced friendship, we know that they are there by our side because they really want to be there and that makes them our tribe, our people, our special spiritual family.
All the best from James Martin Sandbrook.
