I was just having this discussion with my 11 year old grandson. I couldn't believe he wasn't happy simply going to school, hanging with friends, living in the moment. He wanted something more. What? What more is there? Great post.

It really did get me to think (as did Eat Pray Love) and the things about our forefathers? Yup, they were thinking about it. But who had time with all they had to do? 🙂

Now we definitely have to watch it! Our forefathers did stress that we're all entitled to the pursuit of happiness, so I guess they were thinking about it. Sometimes I wonder if we put too much pressure on people to be happy. Maybe if we didn't worry about it so much and just appreciated the good that was right in front of us, we'd realize we already are.

The key is trying to be quiet and still to notice and focus on the things that make us happiest. I think those grandkids are the best thing to focus on! 🙂

I love your statement that happiness happens when we stop to look for it. Sometimes I must force myself to find a smidgen of the smiles in the midst of the muck. But it's there. Just gotta keep on searching. Thanks for the reminder.

All part of life!

You (of course) put it so eloquently. Yes, we should plan for the best case scenario. When I find myself doing the opposite I stop, observe the thought, then "throw" it away and focus on the best.

Instead of fixing what is wrong and trying to make things better why not focus on what we can do to make each moment worth living. I think what you are saying is that we must focus on making this moment worth it -- not ruminating about what we don't have or could have or might. I had a really fascinating (and really long) conversation with a podcaster last week where in we explored how it feels so counterproductive to plan for the worst case scenario so we are ready to handle all the bad things that might happen. What if we planned for the best possible scenario and made that happen? Plan for what we hope for? What do you think about that wonderful lady :)?
