If someone asked you to name things that make you happy,
you might say eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream, sleeping in on a weekday
morning, or spending a sunny day at the beach. All three can make us smile—temporarily.
Once the ice cream disappears, the day’s challenges begin, and the beach trip
ends, our happy feelings may subside. We’re left to chase the next wonderful moment,
which might be a perfect morning cup of coffee, a throw for the ice cream
chills, or plans for a return trip to the beach. Experience, rinse, repeat. Our
emotions fluctuate with the moment’s twists and turns. Do any of these
experiences offer endless happiness?
Adventures end, relationships experience ups and downs and
few situations provide endless happiness. Maybe it’s better to focus on peace
and contentment, since they help us weather whatever comes our way. So, what’s
the best way to gain peace and contentment?
