The Difference Between Finding Happiness and Being Happy

One of my readers asked me when I was going to find happiness myself!

What a surprise question that was! But I realized that I am not writing clearly enough. So let me make this more clear.

I am happy. Can I be more happy? Yes. Can I be less happy? Sure!

Overall I am happy. Much of this comes from gratitude. I am very, very grateful for what I have which includes a wonderful wife/partner and two boys, a beautiful place to live (a horse farm in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains), income sufficient to meet all obligations and then some, and so much more that I could continue to list.

The purpose of my blog is not to make me happy - it is to do my best to help others understand (if needed) how they can find happiness as well.

Don’t I look happy here?

Miami is happy!

Finding happiness is simply a matter of thinking differently. notice I did not say it was easy - just simple!

That’s an interesting picture to choose for happiness Miami.

How about a reader survey?

You put up my picture from my blog, and a bunch of pictures of you from this blog eg the portrait one on your optin form, the horse one in this post, the one of you holding your son on the boat, the horses running in snow etc etc

Let’s survey how people visually define that elusive but seemingly important concept of “happiness”.
