    What is Happiness?

    We can all define what makes us happy, but what is happiness?

    Happiness is a state that we are in when we reach a point in our lives of joyful times. Maybe it's finding that perfect soul mate, or reaching a high goal we have set up for ourselves. Happiness comes from within, and anyone can find happiness in anything they do.

    Happiness is finding contentment, balance and acceptance of the inevitable in your life. Anyone can find happiness for themselves if they let themselves be guided by their true self.

    Happiness is satisfaction - with your life and with your life choices.  Happiness is acceptance - of who you are and what you are capable of doing or not doing.  Happiness is seeing your past as a tapestry of colors.  Each color represents an event, a person, a lesson learned.  Woven together, the colors are seen as happiness because in it you see your life as a total work of  art!

    Happiness is learning that we do not need anyone's permission to be happy.  We do not need to please everyone nor do we need to change to make others like us.

    Coming into your own. Creating your own happiness and finding success and joy in the simple things. Forming a balance and confidence that gives you the settled feeling that everything is right where it should be.
