Happiness is not my goal in life. Happiness is not entirely within my control and it’s temporary. A healthy human being will feel happiness and sadness and anger and all kinds of different things.
I strive for well-being. I also work on gratitude and keep a gratitude journal that I write in every morning and evening. Humans tend to be happy with an achievement for only a short time before we get used to it and return to our regular state of mind. I remind myself of all that’s wonderful in my life and it helps me remember that I’m lucky, which makes me feel happy.
