What's your motivation for life?

To live a peaceful and meaningful life there should only be one motivating force driving all of your intentions and your actions, the wheels which keep you in motion. This one compelling force, is Happiness.

Not selfish, pleasure driven happiness which only momentarily paints a smile on your face, I am talking about the all encompassing, unwavering Happiness; True Happiness.

True Happiness is not an emotion; it is a state of being. It has not been brought on by buying a new car, gaining a promotion or rise in salary, it has not even been brought on by falling in love. That is because it cannot be brought on at all, and conversely it cannot float away due to circumstance. Happiness does not weather or disperse when something bad happens. It is an impenetrable state of being.

Take a moment to ponder your actions, what drives you and your purpose each and everyday. On the surface it may not appear you are striving for happiness at every turn, however if you look deeper, analyse every minute action, whether they appear good, bad or detrimental, you will see you were seeking happiness, even though you probably didn’t reach it. I know I haven’t.
