Our Forgotten TruthA Chapter by Timothy G. BrittonRemembering
what Happiness Truly is
How confused this
human race truly is, for we all seek answers when we don't even understand the
questions. We look for the solution when we don't even see the problem. We plan
out successful, adventurous futures, then we forget how to dream. It's a
shame that we will spend most of our life trying to find the answer to being
happy. We stumble around in every direction, not even realizing that at one
time we did hold so tightly in our hands the answers that we now so desperately
seek but we dropped them, walked away from them and never even looked back. If
only we could regain the truth of our innocence.
We come to realize that with each
step that we take in our life, that we were blinded more and more by a society
created by fools. That we are seeking spiritual fulfillment through material
things. We judge our happiness according to our worldly possessions. The
one thing that we must all come to understand and believe is that all we ever
needed in order to be happy already exist within us and it always did. But
someone, at some time, convinced us to stop looking at the world through a
child’s eyes. We followed in the footsteps of fools. What if one day we just decide
to stop searching for false hope outside of ourselves, and we just turn around
and look inside of ourselves for truth? What if we find what we were looking
for all along? A simple answer to finding that happiness, to understanding that
happiness and accepting it for the simple truth it holds. What if we just start
with a simple way of looking and seeing what happiness truly is and with
that comes an understanding of what happiness truly is. That happiness is not
made, it just is. You have to recognize, realize and understand that happiness
was always there, within you, and all this time that you were looking for
happiness out there, it was looking for you, like a childhood friend from a
much simpler time, when all you really needed to be happy, was the desire and
choice to be so.
Somehow, we found ourselves on a
road, following a path created by someone else, in search of a happiness that
is not even our own. We came to Believing that what we are looking for is our
answer to finding our happiness, we came to believe this simply because
somewhere along the way this is what we were told. We find ourselves in search
of something but somewhere along the way we lose hope of ever truly finding it,
of ever truly finding happiness, in the way we are told of finding it. We are
told that happiness is found by what in our hands we hold. That happiness is
found in those that surround us.
Happiness a choice! do
not seek happiness in people or possessions. To be truly happy, you don't need
other people or material things. Happiness is about being at peace with oneself
and in being so, more easily coming up with answers to life, simply because of
the state of mind. happiness comes from within. It comes from making wise
choices, including choosing to be happy. You can be happy even when things
around you are nothing like you would like them to be.
Happiness
and fulfillment are within your grasp, but sometimes are just out of reach.
Understanding what happiness truly is is indeed the first step in finding it
more often in life.
