"HAPPINESS IS NOT A DESTINATION, BUT A DAY-TO-DAY JOURNEY."
I came across the above quote while reading my daily devotion this morning. It really set me thinking. Most of us probably think of happiness as something attainable in the distant future through our present hard work and single-minded effort. While toiling, striving and trying to do our best every day in the hope of attaining happiness in our life ahead, most of the time we overlook the everyday little things that bring us tiny tiny happiness. We don't take them into account and always look forward to a day when we hope to grasp a 'big fistful of happiness', as if happiness is something like a car or a house or a piece of jewellery! What fools we are!! Why can't we count our everyday blessings and enjoy the simple little things that bring a smile to our face?
Lets not be too hard on ourselves and learn to enjoy the bright side of life along the way!
