Being Happy

I was happy, i knew that. While experiencing happiness, we have difficulty in being conscious of it. Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it do we suddenly realize - sometimes with astonishment - how happy we had been.


- Excerpt from Nikos Kazantzakis' Zorba The Greek


How happy are you, on a scale of 1-10? If you're not at a 10, why not? What are your pre-requisites for a 10? Is it achievable, does it require adjustment? What about spontaneous moments of 10? Do you have them, or remember them?

When good things are happening, when you're experiencing happiness and contentment, let go of your bitterness and just allow yourself to be happy.

It's okay to be happy, and we don't always need drama or justification to be so.
