Why not focus on what makes you happy?

The Pursuit of Joy!

"Happiness - it's elusive, yet attainable.

From the Old Norse 'happ' meaning 'chance' or 'good luck.'

It's that warm feeling of contentment, far more fulfilling than mere pleasure alone.

This pursuit isn't a checklist, it's a journey of self-discovery.

It winds and meanders, leading you to unexpected destinations.

It takes you to a place of inner peace and alignment you didn't know existed until you arrived.

It's not called a goal.

It's called a way of being.

It lets you live the way a child lives - fully present and delighted by the simple joys of existence.“

As I speak, envision scenes of people doing what they love. An artist painting. A musician playing. A chef cooking. A hiker in nature. A tapestry of passion and flow.

**Why focus on happiness? **

A joyless life is half-lived. The world demands much. Prioritize happiness. Stay anchored to your true self.

The happiness-seekers rebel. They reject money and status. They embrace meaning over expedience. Design your own metaphorical "carousel." Fill it with delights. Spark joy within.

The unhappy resign themselves. Quiet desperation. Numb disconnection from joy's source. But the happiness-focused transmute drudgery to gold. Self-actualization's journey.

Their joy beckons: Wake to the present. Live this one life vibrantly. An antidote to emptiness. An invitation to create more pockets of authentic happiness.
