Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence

- Aristotle.

Who would disagree then that everything we do throughout life is for the pursuit of happiness? Then what is it that makes us happy? Some would say it raising a family, others would say it’s travelling, or in passing on knowledge & learning, maybe creating art or simply laughing with friends.

Then if we know what makes us happy, why are so many people unhappy with their life? We’re all working really hard day in day out for the things that make us happy, yet there is still a void. We have plenty of happy moments; however they’re not constant & ongoing. What do we need to do to have that deep feeling of happiness with our lives from the moment we wake, until sleep every day until our last?

Because we’ve been there & done that! Once we have a family, travelled, taught our skills, created a masterpiece & laughed ourselves silly, then it’s nothing new to do it again & again. Of course we still get pleasure every time we do it, however it just doesn’t have that long lasting feeling we’re after.

Real happiness then, comes from constantly increasing our standards & improving on ourselves. If you find pleasure in raising a family, then going through the daily motions becomes monotonous. However if you were to decide that your family was going to be the most talented at sports, music, academics etc, then all of a sudden you have a reason to get out of bed. Knowing that you did something throughout the day that improved your families abilities in some way, means you go to sleep with a feeling of fulfilment. A true feeling of happiness!

Whether you actually ever see your family achieving the standard you set is irrelevant. Working towards what is important to you & seeing your efforts make an improvement to their standard of living is all that matters. If you do reach those standards, that awesome! Well done, you deserve reward & recognition. Although things will eventually get monotonous again if nothing changes from there won’t they? What do you need to do to keep that feeling of happiness going? Set a new standard & go for it. It’s the feeling of progress that creates energy & excitment in life!
