A few of my buddies are
on a constant search for happiness.
They read books on the subject.
They go to presentations by gurus.
They’ve even traveled overseas to find it.
They haven’t found happiness.
They’re more unhappy than
buddies in dire circumstances.
Dr. Rick Kirschner explains why
“look for happiness and
you’ll not find it.
Pursuing it means you think
you don’t have it.
But find it in your moment
through appreciation,
and expand your gratitude
to encompass more of your life,
and you’ll find an abundance of it
without having to go anywhere
or do anything more.”
Many of us are in the business
of selling happiness.
We’re selling moments.
Focus on a single moment.
The pull of the caramel
dripping out of
a piece of chocolate.
The admiring look of the blonde
at the crowded bar.
Capture that moment completely.
