Where is Happiness?Life is like a winding pathsurrounded by flowers, butterflies, and delicious fruits,but many of us spend much timelooking for happiness around the next corner.We do not bend to enjoy the happinesswhich is ours for the taking just at our feet.We can find happiness today if we only look.Happiness is in our heartsand asks only to be celebrated and valued.It comes from within.If we fill our mind with pleasant thoughtsand try to look on the bright side,we invite happiness.Our fears try to prevent usfrom feeling joy and pleasure.The fearful part of us would like usto be in a constant state of watching over our shoulderand of doubting the future.Imagine going to be fitted for new glasses.Your sight will be improved,and you will see things more clearly.Consider adjusting your mind in a similar way.As unproductive, unhelpful thoughtscreep into your consciousness,replace them with better-fitting thoughtsthat focus on joy and pleasure.Happiness is all around us,but it often comes in small grains.
