It's all about moments

They all talk about happiness and how to achieve it. Well, happiness is not that difficult to achieve. It's very easy. You need no recipe, no special skills, no guidelines to feel happy. In fact I'm sure that you feel happy every single day. Not all the day but there are several moments that you must be experiencing this feeling. That's the "trap", the great misunderstanding. We are not supposed to feel happy 24/7.
Happiness is about moments. Happiness may last from hours to seconds. But even those seconds worth it. Don't underestimate them.
You may feel happy by smelling your coffee in the morning, by looking at the sea, at the sky. By taking a walk, by smelling a flower. By taking care of a loved one, by meeting a friend. By saying a good word to someone, by getting a compliment. By looking at a painting, by reading a book. By tasting your favourite food, by drinking a glass of wine. By listening to a song, by recalling a beautiful memory. By playing with your dog, with your cat. By helping someone, by getting help. By touching a soft cloth, by standing under the shower or taking a relaxing bubble bath. Anything can make you feel happy.
Happiness is made of moments and so is life...
Happiness is for wimps. I'm going for ecstasy :-)
ecstasy (ˈɛkstəsɪ)
n, pl -sies
[C14: from Old French extasie, via Medieval Latin from Greek ekstasis displacement, trance, from existanai to displace, from ex- out + histanai to cause to stand]
Oh wow... Maybe I'm more of a wimp in terms of psychological states.. :) We use the exact same word in greek and I guess you would love God Dionysus!! :)
Yup, ecstasy is a little messy. Neat freaks need to stick to happiness :-)
hahah It is indeed.. It puts me off my stride!! :)
Yes, it is obvious that happiness is made of moments but sometimes we feel pain when those moments disappear from our life after a while in my opinion. Nice post.
We have to understand that happiness comes and goes. It can easily appear as well as disappear.. That's why we should learn to appreciate everything good that happens to us and not take it for granted.. That's the beauty of life.. :)
Thanks a lot :))
I agree.
:)) I'm glad you do! :))
Την ευτυχία την έχουμε πάντα... Μέχρι κάποιος άλλος να μας τη χαλάσει... Ή τουλάχιστον να τον αφήσουμε να μας τη χαλάσει... :(
Ακριβώς.. Να τον αφήσουμε να μας τη χαλάσει.. Και δεν πρέπει να επιτρέπουμε σε κανέναν να επεμβαίνει κατ' αυτόν τον τρόπο στη ζωή μας..
