Let's just take a minute to think about this quote for a second. Do you believe it? Happiness is here, it is now. I believe it. "Happiness is a mood, not a destination"- Julian Baker, One Tree Hill. This is one of my favourite quotes from One Tree Hill, simply because it is true.We choose how we react to our every day situations, to our environments. Our mood is altered and changed because of these things. But if we're always waiting for happiness, or someone, or something to make us feel special... well then you're always waiting. Always waiting and never actually being happy. There is something wrong with that. Happiness is a mood, it's not what we're heading towards. It's the present; happiness is the here and now. I think we need to start seeing the happiness in everyday situations. Every moment can offer us something wonderful, be open to that. Be accepting of the beauty and happiness that is found in the smallest of things.
Try it. Try today to smile for no reason, just because you can. Try to see something positive in a negative situation, and if you can't that's fine too because we can't always be happy, but we shouldn't wait for it to find us, we can find it too.
