I have come to the conclusion that happiness cannot be sustained as a permanent state of mind, only as moments in time. Looking back at my life (All 40 years of it!), I realise I am at my happiest during times of satisfaction. For example, helping someone or doing something well. It's not what others think that makes me happy but what I feel inside. I never thought of it that way before. I was happy when I'd swam a good race, handed in work assignments on time, paid all my bills, earned a day off! Nothing major but important to me. I realise buying stuff doesn't make me happy unless I give it away and having a perfect house isn't worth it, only friends and family enjoying time in it with me counts! What truly makes you happy?
