“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.” —James Oppenheim
Some days before my heart attack I would wake up hell-bent on happiness. If I pause now I usually notice that I’ve found it, and wonder how I got here. More often than not my happiness comes from what happens, and what I do with it. For me these days happiness exists in what’s happening now, not in my daydreams of what’s going to happen some other day.
Wise souls in all ages have been saying this same thing for thousands of years. While I can't put any claim on wisdom yet I do know if I don’t practice the art of finding my “happiness” right where I am, then nothing that changes outside me will make me happy.
Question: Is what is happening now in your own life resulting in happiness?
