Hoppiness or Happiness?

Can we inherit happiness?

With Christmas season here everyone is wishing each other happiness. Does happiness come only once a year? Do we,  human beings, think about happiness because it is the right thing to do during Holidays? What does happen after? Holiday blues are approaching, so everyone is trying to get a doze of happiness today!

What is TRUE Holiday Happiness?

My little son recently said “Mommy, it is not happiness. It is hoppiness!”  I thought it was quite brilliant way of putting it together. Well, I asked him why he called it “Hoppiness”.  He said when you are REALLY happy, you play, you hop, you dance… I call it  “hoppiness” ! We do love to dance together, so enjoy our simple moment of true “happiness-hoppiness”!

What do you think of “Hoppiness-Happiness”?

Is it a privilege or a choice? What is happiness? How often do we use this word through the day? Why do we talk about happiness but we never really try to learn how to become happy.. We look for happiness in the material things, in other people lives, in our spouses but we never attempt to ask ourselves “how come we are not a happy society in general”?

We pay thousands of dollars a year on the self improvement from personal coaching to seminars, DVD and CD courses but still we are searching for that peace and harmony and the feeling of happiness. We forget one thing…

It is inside of us. It was given to us before our birth. We received the key to happiness but some of us lost it! I recently dunned on me that happiness is already in the world. It is there. It is in our reach. Happiness knows who we are. Happiness has found a place in our heart and our lives but it is hidden from us by us. Happiness is searching for us. It knows our name and street we live on. We are the ones that push happiness away. We are convinced that we have to search for happiness and it has to be hard because we are programmed that way and it is easy to find an excuse to complain.

The brutal truth is this: Happiness finds us before we realize we can have it. We must learn to accept it and enjoy NOW moment. Happiness is NOW and LATER.

It is here. You can simply reach it like you can touch your hand or your hair. It is that simple.

It is a switch inside our mind that we can just turn on to radiate the light of happiness and express to others. It is time to think seriously about the meaning of happiness. It is about harmony, peace and love. It is about NOW moment. When you know what is like to feel happiness, the light within will shine upon others around you.  If you love life, life will love you and everyone else.

Do you love yourself now? You deserve to love and to be loved not only by your spouse but the entire universe around you. Sounds simple? You’d better believe it.

  1. Soooo true. Happiness is there anytime we choose to reach out and grab it. I am reminded of the joy we are all born with each time I hear my 6 month old laugh. Thanks for the reminder. (p.s – the dancing video ROCKS!)
