Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life


Trans-Siberian Railway
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.~ Dalai Lama

be happy

Aristotle - Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. Happiness is the most important goal in a persons life. Concious he is of that or not. Everything that people is in fact for only one thing in the end - Happiness.




So happiness - isn't that the thing that all of us strive to find, to achieve and then to maintain for the rest of our lives? Being happy isn't quite as simple as having money or being an A-listed celebrity, despite what the media may tell you. Once you dig past the surface and get away from the superficiality, the true meaning of happiness - comfort, content and joy - becomes clear. But still, the one question that gnaws at us all endlessly: How do we achieve it? Perhaps the answer isn't as complicated as we think.

Nobody is happy all of the time, but some people are definitely more fulfilled than others and it doesn't seem to have much to do with material goods or high achievement. Being happy is supposedly simple, supposedly easy, this and that as you watch an endless list of reality shows and "ultimate guides". However, looking around more carefully, you may realize that people living any kind of lifestyle may be more content with it than you - your neighbour, that kid from school, the dog walker down the road. So what do they have that you don't? Don't just find out - get it for yourself.
