Instead, large multitudes of unhappy people rush through cities and towns, getting themselves in all kinds of messes. Some are trying to dig their way out of
financial debt, while others are making arrangements for a marriage or a divorce - or perhaps a second or third marriage or divorce. Parents are speeding home
so they can get the kids to drama class on time, in between the football and dance practice - driving here and there, and perhaps picking up some bags of
shopping and speeding tickets on the way home. Many find themselves barely making it through each day in time to get a few hours of sleep before getting up
to do it all again. Most people fill their daily lives with “activity” in the belief that it will somehow bring happiness. With so much to do, who has time to find
happiness?

The Pursuit of Happiness

The pursuit of happiness can be very much like chasing a butterfly,
frantically chasing it here and there only to find that it escapes our grasp
as we approach it. When we sit quietly at peace with ourselves,
happiness, like the elusive butterfly appears on our shoulder.

We were born in a state of happiness. That is our natural state, our basic
nature. Happiness is our pure state before we found it necessary, in the
adult world, to apply our masks and limitations.

Every person in this world of ours is looking for the same thing. What
is it we are all searching so desperately for? A continuous state of
happiness without sorrow. The freedom to do or not to do anything and
everything – this is our natural state of happiness.

The aim of this project is to help you discover your inner truth of
happiness, what exactly will make you happy, how to remove the masks
and limitations adult life has imposed upon you and how to attract the
happiness that is your birth right.

The pursuit of happiness seems to be a big deal. Bookshelves and magazines fill volumes with the topic. It is part of our natural instinct to pursue happiness.
The same way we seek to experience physical pleasure and avoid physical pain, we seek emotional pleasure, and attempt to avoid emotional pain. Our
emotional enjoyment, or what we can call happiness, is simply part of human nature.

The pursuit of happiness and emotional well being is one of the all encompassing motivations that people have once they meet their survival needs. When
a person is physically comfortable and no longer driven by fear of starving or freezing to death, emotional pleasure becomes a primary pursuit. Happiness Page18
may take many forms but it is the underlying motivator in most our decisions.
