If you were happy, would you know it?
I know what you're thinking.
"That's the silliest question in the world!!"
After all, how can you not know if you're happy? But the fact is that you don't. Not till you notice that you have a great family that supports you, or that you're not living in the slums.
The fact is that we don't normally know what we want and it's only the moment it's gone that we realize how good we had it! I can only imagine one reason for this. We don't really know what makes us happy.
We chase other things
And so we chase other things, until family and friends are forgotten. Until we trade that job with a great boss for a job with a little higher pay that we hate.
Maybe, just maybe, we could sit down for a minute. And think about what we actually want in life. What would make us happy. The core values that we are really after.
Maybe we're already happy?
And maybe, just maybe, we'll find that a lot of what we're after is already there around us. Sitting right there waiting for us to appreciate it.
So the question goes:
If you were happy, would you know it?

Yeay, your blog is up and about again. And nice layout.
There are times that we are so sure we are happy. For an instance, when you get into an air-conditioned room after walking in the blazing sun. And it’s pretty much the same for any moment. Count your blessings and you’ll be fine. realization is a powerful tool that only fools can’t have.

Yeah. There are great moments in life we should all treasure. I’m just saying that it’s good if we could know what kind of moments we’re looking for so we could actively try to find them.
