This being the Fourth of July weekend in the USA, there are lots of people talking about the Declaration of Independence. Remarkably, in my opinion, to have this phrase embodied in our founding documents a few hundred years ago, is astounding! I also like the modern, hashtag version:
#ThePursuitOfHappiness
Like so many things today, the topic of happiness has been studied and analyzed in just about every imaginable direction! I came across a study the other day intending to show that being too focused on happiness creates the opposite result. And of course the basic math, too, that if I am always happy, then happy is not so much a thing, is it?
Contrasts are what make life such a rich experience. No need to worry about being happy!
Onward with the unpredictable game of playing with limits and boundaries. Some days I’m up, some days I’m down, but inside, I always AM.
