The (Never-Ending) Pursuit of Happiness

Human wants can never be satisfied. That is a fact. The moment a want is satisfied, "puff" appears another item on the list. Those with everything or at least everything they think they need will then embark on the age-old quest of finding Happiness. They'll work hard, amasses huge amounts of wealth (the successful ones that is...), purchase ridiculous amounts of properties etc; anything to find that ever-elusive spark of happiness. What many fail to realize, until its too late, is that this little thing called happiness isn't found. It can't be discovered in some diamond mine or dug up from under the leather car seat of a Bentley or Rolls Royce; it has to be made. Incidentally, the raw materials needed to make this tiny thing called happiness aren't costly in anyway whatsoever. These materials are found in the little things we do everyday; in the smiles we see in strangers, in the sweat droplets which appear after a long bike ride; in the cheery conversations we make with friends and family about the weather and in the hopes we have for a better future. Once you're able to find all these tiny, seemingly insignificant joys in our everyday lives and internalize it all, viola, you've got yourself a lifetime's worth of Happiness right in front of you. :) I hope you realize one day that you've got everything you have right in front of you all this time :)
