So it is no secret that in life we are constantly chasing after something; it might be that dream job, moving into that new apartment, getting a pay rise at work, getting a promotion, getting married, writing a book, flying an air plane .whatever it is, we all have dreams that we are chasing. To put it another way, “we are all chasing dreams”, but when we get what we have been going after, then what?
Does it usually bring you the sort of satisfaction that you had imagined? Does it really really make you as happy as you dreamed it would? Did it really solve all of your problems just as you had hoped it would? Did it feel like you had finally found the one thing you had been waiting for to complete yourself or did you just go on to have another dream to chase after?
In other words, do we really find long-term happiness and satisfaction in the things that we chase after or is it just an endless pursuit of happiness?
For me, happiness not from material/physical things but from God is far more than happiness. All the things we feel, touch and see on earth will fade away. The real satisfaction and happiness in life come from God.
I completely agree with you! Only in God do you find true and absolute fulfilment.
True enough. But sad to say, people nowadays (not all) depend and seek their happiness with the material things…
Happiness is sure an ideal state of mind …
Hey Yomi, thanks for reading. Happiness is indeed a preferred state of mind for many.
Yes it is an endless pursuit of happiness .thanks.
Thank you too!
i feel we can never be satisfied no matter what we desire or whatever our dreams may be. it is only God’s grace that can help and save us. I want to marry, den u get married, i want a baby, den u have urs, i want a house, i want..i want.. Its just endless. My conclusion is your happiness begins with CONTENTMENT. When we get it…then what? Endless satisfaction!
You are spot on Shola! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting. Re-phrased, if one had all the money on would ever need in this life, will one continue the ‘work’ one is doing? If no, then, one needs to re-prioritise one’s career (& general) life.
Thank you for your comment
I have heard so many times that the real joy is in the journey and it gets pretty boring after you have had it all and achieved it all.
I guess the key is in following one’s heart, one’s true goals and desires and doing what brings personal satisfaction and not necessarily what brings the most money or what other people expect you to do.
After all said and done, true joy can only come from doing what it is you naturally love to do, and while doing that, new ideas and projects will be birth and the ideas, goals and dreams to achieve more never really stop
The key is to first find the “what” that brings true stratification and stick with it through the journey.
Thanks for stopping by
