Get Happy!

What makes us happy? What makes us want to do things? To be inspired? To put it bluntly: What is the point?

Face it, we are only really satisfied with out lot in life on occasion. The rest of the time we are struggling with something or other and trying desperately to get back to that sense of peace. We feel we need to work hard at a job we hate so we can afford a holiday somewhere special.

But what makes the holiday so much better than normal, everyday life? I mean, really? Yes, new places are exciting and all. But it’s more than that. You’d probably be happy to just stay in the hotel room, right? Well, if it was a nice hotel. Conversely, a holiday with too much planned can begin to feel like a chore.

I believe a lot of the feeling of wellbeing is just to do with flexibility. Knowing you can stay in bed and do nothing is just so refreshing after months of 9-5 work. And you can plan day trips and touristy things. You are in charge of your own destiny. Every day. So, would it make you happy to have that freedom every day? Maybe not if that meant you had no money. But if you could have an entirely flexible schedule and still make ends meet that could very possibly make you one of the happiest people on earth.

So, relax a little. Live a little. Today, with the people you have and the things you have. Don’t think that happiness is something you have to wait or.. or pay for. Just do it. Be happy!
