Now ask yourself - what is happiness?) And each person will give a different answer. Someone will say this is love, these are children, this is health, this is success or a million-dollar income.
In my understanding, this is a state when you have everything and nothing. When all your wishes stop working. This is a state of fullness of impressions from life. I think happiness is in simplicity. Accepting the imperfection of this world. In the ability to notice the joy in the little things. And she is strong in calmness. Able to here and now. In the awareness of every inhalation and exhalation. Happiness is to understand and appreciate every day as your last.
Happiness is to feel life like every little sip of Italian espresso in Venice. And it doesn't matter from which cup you drink coffee, gold or plastic, this will not change the taste of the coffee.
You may not achieve happiness, but you will go to it. While in the process. You will understand that you tried and did not sit still. I searched everywhere, but I found it in myself.
Happiness is when you understand the inner essence without a picture and a wrapper. When you have everything and nothing - when you understand that life was difficult and you can let go of it all.
