What is happiness?

This is an eternal questions for all walks of life.

For some, it is to live out my intention and potentials. For a few, it is to contribute to some external causes, where the cause can be a person’s wellbeing or a society’s change.

Here lies the danger. What if the external factor that we rely on to fuel our happiness machine isn’t a reliable source? That it sometimes trickle water in, and in some seasons will dry up completely?

When one is too accustomed to draw life’s energy from a remote source, what they give up is the precious ability to generate happiness by themselves. Yet this is one ability that we cannot live without. When sustainability becomes a buzzword for everything, perhaps we should instead look inward to see if we have enough awareness, skills and drive to make our own happiness more sustainable.
