Plz give ur thoughts .....

i just read Zena's blog, the one about 'happiness' .. this got me thinking about something else.. i was told that i put my happiness in the hands of others.. for example, if someone dear to me started acting a bit 'isolated'.. i would jump to the conclusion that maybe i did something wrong, maybe there is something seriously wrong with them,, and that would ruin the rest of the day for me.. it would completely consume my thoughts and leave me in no mood to do anything else.. this does get tiering at a certain point.. sometimes i just wish i could care less what people were feeling if they didn't just come out and say it.. i just worry too much.. but i guess that's the way i'm built..

to anyone who is reading this blog, what do u base ur happiness on? do u have a t-shirt u wear that makes u happy? or maybe its a picture u look at, or a song u sing that makes u happy? what circumstances to do u have to be in in order for u to be content? or are u a worry-free happy person naturally?? ooh i wish it were that easy...

It's completely natural that when someone close to you acts different, you start doubting yourself. If you didn't, you would be an obnoxious, selfish person. So, don't worry.

But, what do you base happiness on? Well, you got the cliche answer, which is, don't forget to count your blessings on the little things; health, family, money...etc.

However, personally, I base my happiness on my achievements. I look back to see where I started and how far I came along and that always makes me feel better!

I hope you feel better if you are down =)

hey poet,
happiness should come from within. not from outside triggers or influences. however, we're programmed to think that in order to be happy, all the correct conditions must be met outside of ourselves. sortof like a recipe.
thats not true.
true happiness comes from within. comes from the feeling of serenity and calmness that comes with understanding our place in the balance of nature.
to me, at this precise moment in time, 10:52 on a monday morning, that is what happiness is to me

hope you're doing well. i had a dream about you and cook last night! so strange

Happiness... It's a strong word. I don't think that one act or thing could make me completely, truly happy. However, I am more happy than unhappy, and I consider myself a generally happy, lucky and content person.
At this time, my "happiest" happiness is in the hands of someone who is not very generous in sharing it...

Cat,

i know how depressing and sad i sounded,, but in reality,, im not THAT bad :-p i was feeling a bit down at the time i posted that.. maybe happy was not the right word to use,, however, i know i base my (mood) if u like on external factors.. something i shouldnt do..

LOL I don't know what else I could base my happiness on if not external factors. What kind of internal factors (short of irregular bowel movements) could ever affect anyone's happiness? :p

Even being happy with oneself certainly comes from, or is influenced by, a variety of external factors.
