Happiness! What is it? Where is it?

Happiness! What is it? Where is it?

Happiness is always postponed. Happiness is dependent upon our satisfaction level. Gazing down the long tub of unaccomplished thoughts, I’ve been forced to evaluate a few things.

First off, who am I?
Well, that is surprisingly easy to answer. I’m many things: a budding journalist, a daughter, a sister and a friend of many.

Second, what do I want?
Well, I thought I want happiness. But now I’m not so sure.

At first I thought I’d be happy if I get accepted into Flying School. Then I thought I’d be happy if I will become a Pilot. Then I thought I’d be happy if I would be having my own flying school. Then I thought getting name and fame would make me happy. Then I thought having contacts with  famous personalities would make me happy.

My lost friend once told me that “she couldn’t be my friend anymore because I am not the same as I used to be in my school days and now I don’t make her happy anymore with my actions”. After some more experience, now I feel more capable to answer, it’s not about happiness. If I would be seeking happiness I will miss the point; I will seek but I will never find it. It’s not about long-lasting pleasure and it’s not about making another happy. It’s about satisfaction; I think being satisfied with oneself.

I figure I could have done a lot of things differently. I could have studied harder; I could have chosen better career. I could have spent more time with my brother. I could have… I could have…. ………. But if I stay too long on this, if I make regret the focus of my existence, I am actually doing the inverse of happiness-seeking. The same mistake in different ways. I think again that I’ve done some wonderful things in my life. I have wonderful friends. I feel like I’ve come through the other side of something, but I’m not sure what yet. What I’ve discovered, is that satisfaction is all about being oneself, about being satisfied with what one has. I’ve come to an end of postponing happiness; all happiness was for me was a momentary, a temporary. Now I know who I am, I know what I have, and I’m comfortable with that. More may come, more may not come. I may have less. And I feel like things will really change. Optimism is perhaps the effect of pleasure.
