Dale Carnegie said "Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get." He also said that Happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depend solely on what you think. Sometimes i wonder how difficult to pursue happiness because what the experts are saying is that Happiness is definitely a choice. How can i want what i got? Let's say if i really really want this guy because i know he makes me happy but what if it's not possible? So just settle for anyone around you don't really like? Hmmm...They also said that money doesn't buy happiness ...i totally agree however there's nothing wrong with wanting more money i believe especially if you know where to put your wealth wisely. If you haver money and you are sad, you can go shopping and i think that will make you feel better. If i am upset for example and i have money, i can go out of town or out of the country and then i will be happy. I also read from an anonymous author that you lose 60 seconds of happiness for every minute you are angry. But there is nothing wrong i guess if you get angry at times, that's normal and as long as you don't sin when you are angry i think that will just be fine. For me there are a lot of things that makes me happy...my dog, rainy season, hot coffee, shopping, cream puff, fishball, Isaw, ice cold coke, champagne, pistachio, kisses, babies, toddlers, beach, tagaytay, bagel with cream chesse...Is it really hard to pursue happiness at times?
