Comments for The Rabbi Show http://www.therabbishow.com Hosted by: Rabbi Yitzchak Wyne Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:33:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Comment on What Makes You “happy”? by Monica http://www.therabbishow.com/2010/10/12/rabbi-yitz-wyne/#comment-46 Monica Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:33:17 +0000 http://therabbishow.com/?p=125#comment-46 For me, happiness is more of extraordinary fleeting moments of bliss in life that just happen unexpectedly. They are simply days or hours in life that just happen as gifts from God to look back on and allow us to balance our life on. Sure having a job, and healthy kids, etc. seems to be a benchmark for most as having a “happy” life. I do not think it is possible to define one earthly thing or happening that would suddenly make a person “happy” for a lifetime. I think “happy” things or things that create “happiness” are elusive…otherwise people wouldn’t be in a constant state of the pursuit of happiness.

Making money in the stock market. Having my children and grandchildren healthy, pleased with life and in my life. Knowing I have a part in children learning (I teach reading and piano). Feeling like I belong somewhere (I am a female Libertarian, mighty rare). Let’s see what makes me happy:

I now feel pretty confident that I am the master of my consciousness. That's been about a week and fortunately, I have not had any unusually significant road blocks to make me amend my statement. If I decide to float over the daily ups and downs of life, I've been really successful at staying connected and peaceful. Even elated.
