I guess happiness in some kind is not thinking about happiness:) True words you wrote about associating happiness with some goals, it's insane, that people think they will be happy from buying a new phone or a car, they price their own happiness so cheap! I started to look different on many things after spending a half month meditation course in Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, Nothern Thailand. Our teacher always used to say that our mind mostly lives in the future, thinking about where you want to go tomorrow or next week or next holiday, missing being happy here and now. That's what I've been trying to do since:) He called it " The power of Now". Very nice post, have a very happy day :)
