Happiness can only be found in reality. What is in your imagination may be pleasant to think about, but it is not in reality and cannot make you happy. The same is true of memories. They may seem more able to make you happy because they were once real, but, alas, they are no longer part of reality. Happiness stems from "is" not "was" or "may be" or even "will be.".
Happiness is not a requirement for life. One can survive and live quite well, be successful in business, have a good family and good friends, without being happy. We are not born happy, or unhappy. We do not acquire happiness from anyone or anything outside ourselves. If that were true, it would be much more common for people to be happy than it presently is.
Happiness is not merely a psychological state that exists solely in our minds, or solely in our emotions, as commonly perceived. It exists in every fiber and part of our being. It is manifested in every heart beat, in every breath we take. It is life itself.
Happiness is not something we need to acquire. Unfortunately, we have been led to believe that that is so, and most of us seek it in all the wrong places. If we are alive, it is already resident within us, within the wondrous and beautiful life within us. There are not five steps or ten steps to happiness. There is but one: to recognize and sense it through our awareness, which far transcends what we know through our five senses. It is in our mind and body and spirit and soul.
It is You...and it is there for you to be.
