Wonderfully said! <br /><br />I completely agree with you here. In my list of happiness routines I would add up things like meditation, which always brings me back centered and relaxed. <br />The beginning and leaving of souls is such an interesting aspect you mention here! I am wondering about that too, sometimes. Well, a lot in fact. I assume there is so much more going on in our universe than we can actually percept or scientifically prove....Currently I am reading a book on intuition.. it is so interesting... <br /><br />Have a wonderful week!<br />SvenjaSvenjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236218755175440712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862296598340334150.post-28280280589007105762013-02-03T13:59:08.509-08:002013-02-03T13:59:08.509-08:00I really enjoyed this post and the philosophy of h...I really enjoyed this post and the philosophy of happiness is something I've thought a lot about in general, but also had on my mind with this week. I too believe that we are the creators of our own happiness. That while material goods can provide momentary excitement and contentment, they won't provide lasting happiness. I love the quote that "True happiness is not made in getting something. True happiness is becoming something.“ I think there are times in our lives when we're at a low, maybe even struggling with depression, and happiness seems to escape us somewhat. But in those moments, I find my best standby is to go through my "Happiness Routine," doing the things that I know are ultimately helping me become the person I want to be. Working on relationships, taking care of my body, taking time for the people around me...even if my heart's not in the happiness right at that moment, I know it will come eventually in doing those things. <br /><br />And I totally agree with the point that happiness is why we're here, so thanks for sharing! I don't think that life is supposed to be an endless series of miseries! For me, part of that ties into religion, but religion ties into my soul so I have a hard time seeing where one leaves off and the other begins. :) Thanks for this thoughtful post!!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334241445566264284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862296598340334150.post-41320076852186866822013-01-31T14:10:48.736-08:002013-01-31T14:10:48.736-08:00Great thinking going on in here. Got a little bit ...Great thinking going on in here. Got a little bit confused in the middle but I guess it's quite late already.. But I still wanted to find out what you have been wondering about in your corner.<br /><br />I guess your example of the shoes is a good one (even if I'm not graving for high-heeled-wallet-nightmares, I still love shoes..:))..and I understand that it makes one happy to get a nice pair of them. It brings a smile on your face and it's a good thing. But it doesn't keep you happy or contend. You need more solid, everyday things to appreciate and to love. I have maybe two things what make me really truly happy and keep doing that every day. The other one is my lovely pet cat who is the cutes thing ever and keeps me company. And the second is my partner. I don't think any material think can compare the happiness they bring into my life. Other things that are also important happiness bringers are friends and family.<br /><br />Keep on the good work!<br /><br />Love,<br />MaijaMaijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217562624975410536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862296598340334150.post-2756377456618664702013-01-31T10:26:19.996-08:002013-01-31T10:26:19.996-08:00Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Arni!

It made me reflect and I find myself nodding as I read through the lines. I truly believe that it is our choice to be happy. There are degrees of emotions inflicted by situations/external factors that happen beyond our control. Yet, it's how we process the thought and the feelings that come afterwards before we take action that is important and will affect the outcome (us being happy or not) This thought process is usually influenced by how have been used to handling situations. Sometimes we need help in changing the way those thought patterns are if they're not helping and merely preventing us to grow. <br />Travel Gourmandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218086821318824932noreply@blogger.com
