Pursuit Of Happiness Answers

What is happiness? In our search for it, it is normal for all of us to seek answers to the meaning of life. Why are we here? What should we do? How can we be really happy? It is natural to look for the answers to these kind of questions in life.

But there is some powerful wisdom you should contemplate. And that pearl of wisdom is this: There Is No Answer!

We spend our lives looking for the answer. You know, the answer that will make us happy, whole, satisfied, successful. So we find an answer, like one the Buddha gave us. He said grasping is at the root of all suffering. So we then work hard to conquer desire and grasping in our lives.

Then we tend to think that non-grasping is the answer to everything in life. If only we could master it life would be great. But it doesn't work that way. Detachment and non-grasping are not the whole answer. They are just part of the equation.

Not understanding this, you can spend months trying to overcome desire and grasping within yourself. You will grasp after not grasping! Then, when you finally figure out that that doesn't work, you will give that up. "I guess that Buddha didn't have the answer after all..." Then you will start looking all around for another answer.

This is a common pattern in life. We will find answers, like being loving or being financially successful. We then work hard to fill our lives with more love or money. Only to find that it doesn't work. We aren't satisfied.

Here's something worth understanding. Any answer you find to the meaning of your life will only be part of the answer. It won't be the whole answer. So if you think being loving is the answer, good for you. Go to work on that area of your life. But don't expect it to solve everything or make you completely fulfilled.

So understand this. Any answer you find to living happily ever after will only be temporary. Partial. Not the whole thing. That's because life doesn't need to be solved or answered. Start to be okay with living in the question. Start to be okay not knowing or even needing an answer. There's more to this, but this can be a good beginning.

Go here for a free course on a number of insights that can add to the quality of your life. And it just could be that any insights that add to the quality of your life amount to a kind of happiness that is most fulfilling. The pursuit of happiness is worth time and attention!
