Acceptance
Happiness may be be found right here and now with what we've got. As Doc Happy says with his cute metaphor - sometimes we chase so much more when what will really make us happy sometimes is so much less.
Others may suggest that we should try for more, go up the ladder, get a bigger house, car, plane....buy an island ....where does it stop? Then we can retire and go fishing. But maybe these ultra-aspirations aren't for us and a simpler way of life may bring just as much happiness, if not more. Others expectations and social pressures make life very demanding and may not be right for us.
It's interesting how others see us and want to change us. It's also interesting how we may wish to change others to suit how we think they should be. So another moral to Doc's may be.... why should we change when others want us to, but why should others change because we want them to? The answer is acceptance; acceptance of ourselves, others and what we've got. It brings peace of mind and tranquility to our being.
Acceptance is a great way to happiness as always wanting more sure sets up tensions and pressure. But then it is gooooood to get a bit more, isn't it? It's a tricky conundrum that is worth exploring to get a good balance. A bit of this, a bit of that and maybe enough is just right.
