What is happiness? Is it the feeling when you feel excited? Is it when you are at a very satisfied state? Is it when you are most pleased with yourself? All the questions could be events/situations that would make a person happy! It also depends on what mood you are in as well. If a person is not in a positive mood, maybe just a little bit of positive happening in life would help right? It's a possibility, but that still wouldn't male that person "happy".
Answer.com gives a definition of happiness:
1. Good luck; good fortune; prosperity.
2.
An agreeable feeling or condition of the soul arising from good fortune
or propitious happening of any kind; the possession of those
circumstances or that state of being which is attended with enjoyment;
the state of being happy; contentment; joyful satisfaction; felicity;
blessedness.
3. Fortuitous elegance; unstudied grace; -- used especially of language.
Happiness consists of someone being in a state of gracefulness, positive nature, helpfulness, fortunate, knowledgeable, and content. These words describing "happiness", does it apply to me?!?!
I show that I am graceful, positive nature, fortunate, smart, and always smiling. So WHY am I not happy?
It's simple really: These qualities of being "happy" are only the forefront of what I truly feel; miserable, unfriendly, rude, pestimistic, not smart, and uncontent with who I am.
Will there be a way to truly be happy if what I want to be is different than what I really am?
OR is it that what I truly feel is happy, but I don't want to be happy?
Who DOESN'T want to be happy? Like WHY would someone not WANT to be happy with who they are?
It's because that person's perception of who he wants to be is different than who he is really is.
Is there a way to bridge a gap? OF COURSE, when you know who you "think" you are and who you "truly" are!
When will you know you ask... "I have NO idea right now, cuz I'm in this predicament!"
This is what I learned from work "Is this truly who I am, or is it who I want to be?"
The answer now is "I don't know yet..." That answer will come to me soontime!
EDIT: There is NO definite answer that I can think of at the moment, but all I can do is keep on going. The answer will come eventually, whether it's through this job or something else entirely different. There's no point dwelling and TRYING to figure it out. You'll realize soon enough that it's not the answer that's important, but the process of getting TO the answer.
