Peace and Happiness

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness. ~ William Saronyan

Finding Peace Through Happiness

Happiness is found in who you are, not what you do or how much you have. Happiness is a state of mind. Think happy thoughts, be happy. Think unhappy thoughts, be unhappy.

You can find happiness today if you only look. It’s right next to you. Look into the eyes of your child. Reach out to hold your husband’s hand. Give a friend the hug she needs. Happiness is found in the here and now, in the people who touch your life, and spirit you live with today in all its imperfections and uniqueness. Happiness cannot be seen with the naked eye. During trying times, happiness comes in the form of blessings in disguise — invisible to the naked eye.

No amount of money, possessions or ego gratification can bring you happiness. There is no such thing as the perfect car, house, job or person to make you happy. Peace of mind comes with the recognition that happiness is totally and unequivocally in your control. Like turning on a light to illuminate a darkened room, feelings of you and bliss are yours when you choose to turn on your inner light, which is forever charged and ready to shine.
