What is Happiness?

Happiness means so many different things to so many different people. I feel blessed to believe I am so happy and with so much ease. In todays culture it seems to be much harder to make people happy. Everyone is so consumed with the culture and never having enough that they get wrapped up in never thinking they have enough. When in reality people should be counting their blessings every single day just for being alive and healthy. The culture that we live in today is geared towards making everything easier or faster. Everyone wants to find the fastest track to happiness when sometimes, as cliche as it sounds, you really need to stop and smell the roses. I believe I am happy because I do take time out of my day to reflect and appreciate all the greatness and beauty around me. I know it is hard to do in this fast paced world but take my word for it, there are major benefits. The simple things in life are often the most rewarding.
