Mindfulness Daily Check-In March 20
"It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. Its also a very clear path to happiness."—Sheryl Sandberg
Today is International Day of Happiness!! A good reminder for us that no one could be happy all the time. And, there is nothing wrong about it.
Keeping this fact in mind, we can try to stay happy knowing we can't be happy all the time, so if we fail in our pursuit of happiness, then it's fine. Better not feel stressed about it and make it 101 reasons to be not happy. I know it is easier to be said than done. If we realize it and put it in action, it could help us to be mindful about happiness.
We could enjoy and be happy in this moment. Like, listening music can be joyful, while sadness due to one or other could impact the positive outlook towards life. Just imagine 
you're happy all the time and only emotion you have is happiness and only that you could feel. Initially, it may seem awesome but later can be boring. As well as you will be unable to feel other emotions and may lead to lack of compassion? You could understand someone's grief better when you experienced it in past. You able to understand how it feels to be judged or rejected and then you able to support other person compassionately. So, experiencing a wide range of emotions actually helping us to be mindful about life, about others and our surroundings. A reason to be happy about.
For example, I prefer listening soft music or sometimes even sad songs. So does it mean I am unhappy. Probably not, it is just my way to experience happiness in sad songs as well. Listening a party song all time could be monotonous. Life is like that Music playlist which is not uniform, flat but offers a wide range of songs with deep meanings to entertaining ones.
What is happiness for you?? Come and Join me to Discuss on it.

It was a good day until I was triggered and now I am just wanting to escape myself again.
@busyemptymind
It is awful having a good day and then suddenly something turns up and you feel bad. I hope that you get better soon and that only the good part of the day stays in your memory (or may be will be written down in a journal, if you keep one).
@ASilentObserver
Happiness to me is like: like being outside in wonderful weather, all by myself in nature and just... feel like I can be there forever because there is nothing, no reasons or obligations, for me to return to my hectic life. I can just stay there and be. That'd be happiness to me, to go to the world that's there in my head but which I just haven't seen in real life just yet. I've come really close to the moment though, and I look back on those moments with the biggest smile on my face 
Yeah, that was definitely happiness.
@JayTheBird14
Sounds like you created a kind of "Retreat" in your memory where you can always go to fill up your tank. 
@amiablePeace77
That's... actually what it is yeah... A retreat! Never came to associate the experience with that word before but I like it, thanks
@ASilentObserver
Very insightful post. To me happiness are moments but satisfaction, peace and harmony are more important to me. I try to follow my mantra "it is good enough" which creates an "all is okay" thinking.
@amiablePeace77 I personally love that mantra, and I think it's a great thing to go by, thanks for sharing!

Happiness to me is waking up and seeing through the fog of human thoughts and feelings and knowing deep inside without effort, that I am here, I am aware and I am on a journey back to what I have always been.
