Happiness, and for that matter, contentment is something which just is present in our own minds and they flourish and spread if we can protect our minds from unnecessary negative impulses to the maximum extent possible.
Philosophers, thinkers, and even psychologists tend to agree that usually our minds remain in a state of happiness or contentment unless we apply negative forces to change that course
(Sounds somewhat like newton’s law of motion)
Instead, if we seek to find happiness in things that are external, in actions by way of praise or approval by others, we are in for disappointment
Two persons placed in the same situations can feel differently. One can be happy and the other miserable.
There is nothing called perfection. There is nothing called ideal.
If we start on a marathon race of 29 miles and we finish only 15 miles in the run, we can choose to be happy that we ran 15 miles. We can also choose to cry rolling all over the ground saying that we could not cover the remaining 14 miles. The choice is just ours.
