We human beings have a lot to deal with in our daily life such as working at home and at work, entertainment, family and even dealing with the outside world. Anxiety is one of the things that would be part of the daily life to the extent that everyone suffers from the same. Happiness is a feeling that comes over you and makes you feel that you are safe, successful, lucky and total well-being that can put a smile on your face. People find happiness in many ways such as going for vocations, watching movies, playing indoor and outdoor games, love and relationships, social media and even some find happiness in alcohol or other drugs.
The problem comes in when you are trying to find happiness in a tough way or you are forcing it. Most people find themselves in a situation that instead of letting happiness find them they pursue it. This makes us even more miserable than we were before. Here are some of the reasons why pursuing for happiness will make you sadder.
The first reason is that happiness has become a product that you are supposed to buy in order to enjoy or be happy. Take for instance people who find happiness in alcohol, you will have to spend on the drink and at the end of the day you end up even more broke than you were before. When it comes to entertainment and vocations, they are all paid for and sometimes you have to use the money to make love work since people always say ‘we cannot eat love.’
Another reason is that happiness is a goal that cannot be measured quantitatively like other goals. Other goals can be measured such as the number of people who have viewed an article, profit gained from selling a product and a number of people you have saved their lives. Happiness is tricky since even if you are happy now you will always feel you are not happy enough and you will always strive to do more making you more miserable.
Last but not least, happiness deviates from a situation you are in- sometimes you cannot force happiness at all. For instance, those who go for alcohol will feel happy when the alcohol is still in the system when it is gone you go back to the normal situation as before.
I am not trying to say that people should always be sad but what I emphasize is that you should not force happiness especially trying to find love where it does not exist. Happiness begins with you, eliminate what makes you sad or rather solve it and you will automatically be happy.
