In Search of Happiness (2)
Are you searching for happiness? Do you know where to search for happiness? First of all, it is important for us to know what happiness is and what happiness isn't. Then perhaps our search will be more successful. This is part two of a three-part post on ‘In Search of Happiness’. This post is about what happiness is not.
It is said that the secret of being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.
