So true.

"People tend to think of happiness as a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly."- Elizabeth Gilbert (1969) American author

Do you think this is true? I tend to find happiness in the little day to day things - my granddaughter screaming and running to me when I get home; my dog dancing with me; a beautiful sunset. I don't feel like I have to fight and strive for it.

Sometimes it's easier to see the goodness (aka happiness) than other times. When you're going through a rough patch, sometimes you just need a reminder that it's there if you seek it.

For me it’s more just being aware, recognizing good both big and little. Being “present” mentally and emotionally when nice things happen. I often have to remind myself to do this, especially with my granddaughter, to cherish the moments.

Just one person's opinion. We each find happiness in our own way.
