Happiness is a loaded concept, with expectations, hope, yearning, and confusion. What makes happiness seem so elusive has more to do with how you relate to the idea of it than with how you really feel, and it’s different for everyone. Happiness isn’t a fixed point, it’s always in flux so you can be happy one moment and that feeling is gone in the next. You can’t strive for happiness and it’s not something you can touch. Rather, it’s about noticing the ordinary moments in your life that give you joy, make you happy and help you recognise the happiness already within you.
