Happiness

Ah, happiness,​
Utopia or reality?​

It resides in thought,​
It resides in the heart,​
It resides in the work.​

Happiness is not an eternal smile,​
It isn’t an unbroken line of joyful experiences without errors.​
Happiness is to live fully,​
It is to choose to be the best version of oneself,​
Happiness is to realize the most beautiful contribution one can make,​
Creating more beauty, more goodness in our world.​

It’s simply living,​
Breaking free from fears,​
Playing,​
Laughing,​
Making mistakes,​
Embracing pain to expand our joy.​

It’s to love,​
To love everything around us,​
To love our Earth,​
To love ourselves.​

Happiness is to live in love, not in fear.​
It’s not a calm river but a true Hollywood film,​
Where we’ve decided to play our best role.​

Happiness is knowing how to listen,​
To the whispers of the heart’s melody​
Crafting decisions effortlessly, free from the shackles of suffering​
Decisions that yield goodness​
A daily contribution to our own happiness.​

Savoring every minute on the journey​
Such is happiness.​
— Alix Rimailho
