Pick 2 - Happiness

The search for Happiness is a universal one. And in the USA, our pursuit of it is guaranteed by the Constitution. Some of us seek it in material wealth. Some of us expect others to make us happy. Some wonder why happiness is so elusive. And some of us would not know happiness if it poked us in the eye. Most of us have learned that a smile does not necessarily mean that the person flashing it is happy. Many of us believe we have had a taste of happiness at some points in our life. But that might have been when we were children and had not yet encountered  disappointments and cynicism in our life. So can there be any hidden value in happiness that would make its pursuit worthwhile?

Perhaps a better approach would be to search for the hidden key to happiness that lies within us. I believe that hidden key is our own attitude. We can choose to be happy. We can choose to have a positive outlook on the events that reality throws our way. Or we can choose to stew in our own juices. Either way: it is our choice to make. And that choice is the hidden value in  our attitude. We must pause to remember that our attitude is under our personal control. If we misdirect it then the consequences are all ours.
