We are raised to believe from a very young age, that happiness has pre-requisites. That certain pursuits or accomplishments or belongings will bring us an internal peace or contentment that we can then label “happiness”. How sad that we never learned that true happiness was never to be gauged, judged or measured by another’s standards, and only ever needed us to recognize it’s presence in the moment. The sun on your face, a child’s smile, a loved ones embrace. We have monetized happiness to a belief level that truly has no personal value. Happiness is in your eyes. Just choose to see it. It costs nothing but recognition. ~ Nick Janz
