It seems like everyone and their brother is jumping on the bandwagon with inspirational sayings. I was surprised this morning to see the words on the side of one of my girl's Marble Slab ice cream cup: Find happiness within. That was a good one! What a perfect reminder.
It goes along with my not-complaining post from yesterday.
Find happiness within sounds like a catch phrase. It might seem like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. Instead, we might really have to fight for happiness and on the side of happiness to hold onto it -- or even find it.
But it is worth it.
If there isn't some happiness within, would we ever notice it without? If we are full of complaining (or anger or unhappiness or resentment or...) would we really notice the good around us? Would it make much of an impression?
Maybe the word find gives us a clue that we might have to search for it. Or it might be that in looking for something else, we find happiness as a sort of surprise.
I like the idea of being surprised by happiness!
I hope you find yourself surprised by happiness today. Do something good for yourself that makes you happy.
I'm going to look for it too so I recognize it when it lights.
Tell me about it, I'd love to hear!
And here's another company that has jumped on the band wagon: (New) Nivea Touch of Happiness Body Wash with orange blossom and bamboo essence. I haven't tried it. I just thought it was funny to run into an ad for it today after I wrote this.
