The Secret Is Out
As beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, so happiness is a chosen state in the harbors of the heart.
Desire, seek, and pursue happiness as you choose so to do; but I think that most 'happiness pursuits' are misdirected and over rated.
I think not that happiness should be sought nor be found in a person or thing. I will neither bare the burden, nor be the portrait of someone else's happiness.
One's happiness must first be defined and personified before it can be found. There is a source of happiness with a fountain from which it flows freely.
The happiness key hangs in my heart to ignite and accelerate me toward God. My personal happiness was found in my pursuit and union with my creator.
Like ice is a byproduct of water, so my happiness is a byproduct of my creator. If my 'jolly happy feet' cease, my happiness will not desist, but ever persist.
I neither accept nor expect that a happy mood equates to happiness. I suspect if I do have a secret, it is the secret that 'there is no real secret to happiness'.
