pursuit of happiness

Happiness can mean different things to different people. It could mean money to you, it could mean playing music for strangers in the street not just for the money but the happiness and joy derived from it, it could mean getting a roof over your head and people can also derive happiness by trying to make people happy.

For some, happiness may simply be leaving a toxic relationship; for others, happiness may simply be those little things we take for granted but which others view as bliss; for others, happiness may simply be witnessing their favorite celebrity perform live on stage and they are happy with that.

Happiness may have the same meaning to everyone and at the same time it might have different concept to everyone. I'd want to offer a story about pursuing happiness.

There was this man who had a lovely wife and a young child; he mostly looked after the child because his wife worked at a laundry shop and stayed over from Monday to Friday, so he had no choice but to look after his child until he was old enough to make his own decisions.

Despite his difficulties, this man manages to enroll his son in one of the best schools in his neighborhood that he can afford, and he always makes time for him. He does all of this because he didn't meet his own father until he was 28 years old, and he promised himself since he was a child that if he ever had a child, he would never neglect him.

He was an engineer who invented a machine that looks like an x-ray but produces images that are sparser than those produced by an x-ray, which he tried to sell to hospitals every day but couldn't because people thought it was too expensive, which it wasn't, so his bills began to pile up and more expenses came in, and his wife no longer cared or supported him, and she began to show signs that she wanted to leave the marriage.

Next day, he met this man with a Lamborghini and a white suit the while strolling along his usual path to make sales of his invention, and he asked him With a smiling face, what he did for a job and how he did it. and the white man in the suit said, "I'm a stock broker," and he joked, "do you have to go to college to be a broker?" and the man replied, "You simply have to be good with numbers and people."

He wasn't able to make any sales that same day, so when he went home, he told his wife about the idea of Being a stock broker, but she didn't accept it since she assumed he wouldn't be able to make it in that business because she had been working double shift for almost 6 months and their house payment was due. So his wife had had enough of him and had to leave him alone with his child in order to pursue her own happiness.

The landlord came over on his first day as a single father to issue him a one-week notice, and he had no choice but to begin his 6-month internship to become a broker, after which he had to write an exam. He accomplished everything he set out to do, and he met a number of affluent people along the way who did not support him, but he never gave up.

His results finally came out, and he was the best overall, and after a few years, he closed the most lucrative contract the company had ever considered and finally he found happiness after a years pursuing it.

Final thought

Life can be so funny sometimes that what you love and you are passionate about won't make its way for you for reasons I don't understand, and you begin to feel unfulfilled. The best thing you can do for yourself is to create another hubby and develop passion for it because everything will work out in the end and you will begin to experience happiness.

Isn't it strange?, It's strange for me as well, and my final questions are:

"Do you believe you can find happiness anywhere?"

And how do you define your happiness?
