Happiness is not in following rules of life. Happiness has no formula. Happiness is not an end goal. Happiness has no end point. Happiness is a constant mobility of energy that can be felt in your entire being at the moments that it is in line with your purpose. It can be felt in your body, your mind, your soul.
Your Higher Power is the source of your happiness. But you are your own “happiness factory”. Only you yourself are able to change your vibration, to be receptive to positive energy flows, to make choices that promote your own happiness.
Being happy is not a choice in itself. It is not feasible. You can’t grab it, let alone keep it captive. But your whole being can be shaped in such a way that it is optimally able to absorb moments of happiness. To attract these happy moments to you and distribute their energy to the world around you. In that sense, experiencing happiness lies in yourself.
