What makes you happy? This is one of my favourite questions to ask people! I love seeing their faces light up as they think about the things that make them happy, whether that’s a favourite TV show, an amazing cheeseburger with loads of toppings, or something a little embarrassing like snuggling with the cat!
We all want to be happy – and the world is full of amazing things to enjoy. We don’t usually have to think very hard about the things that make us happy – we’re just drawn to them. For example, if someone offers me a cheeseburger or some celery, it doesn’t take me very long to choose which I want!
We all want to be happy. So why aren’t we happy all the time?
Why is happiness, which feels so right, so hard to achieve for any length of time?
Remember the Teacher we talked about from the book of Ecclesiastes who tested out this search for happiness? He decided that we just can’t find happiness by ourselves in this life. That’s because we look for happiness in possessions that break, get lost or stolen; in experiences that come to an end; and in people who let us down or eventually die. He decided that if it’s just up to us to find our own purpose and happiness in life, then we’ll be constantly searching, but never satisfied.
Is he right? Is it totally unrealistic to expect to be able to make ourselves happy all the time?
Is our quest for happiness hopeless?
