Good morning, hope all is well.
The opening lines of our constitution states that we are all created equal and we all have a right to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
What is it that makes you happy? But remember, what you understand about happiness may not what another understand it to be. We all have our own concept of this thing call happiness. For some it may be having a powerful job in some worldwide business. For another it may be owning their own store. And for others it is making others happy. And the list can go on and on.
The Bulgarian philosopher Peter Deunow tells us this about happiness which we may not have thought of before. I know I haven’t. He says, “If you pursue happiness, you are an ordinary person. If happiness pursues you, you are an extraordinary person. Do not chase happiness; let it chase you.”
Ah, as it is said, “The devil is in the details “ Each of us have to come up with the concept of what we understand what happiness is. Maybe it might be living our lives to its fullness as we possibly can.
Let happiness chase you Maybe it has, but we have not recognize it.
Peace and All Good,
