Are you looking for the butterfly of mystical happiness? Then this is the best place to find it here.
Are You Looking for the Butterfly of Mystical Happiness
Many perceive happiness as a fleeting butterfly in the garden of life. Imagine a young child playing in the yard on a sunny summer day. The child spots a beautiful butterfly flitting between flowers. Fascinated, the child desires to touch it, observe it up close, and hold it gently in their hands. The child reaches out toward the flower where the butterfly rests, but just as it is within reach, the butterfly flutters away to another blossom. Undeterred, the child follows the butterfly to the next flower and then the next, but it continues to elude their grasp.
As adults, happiness can seem much like that elusive butterfly, often beyond our grasp. The phrase “if only” begins to take on an almost obsessive quality, dominating our thoughts and cognitive processes. If only I had additional money, if only I were in a great relationship, if only I had a truly remarkable hobby, I could be happy. The list keeps going as well. Even if we accomplish one of our “if only” goals, the pleasure we seek will always be outside our grasp. The age-old adage that “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” becomes evident to us and becomes our belief.
If we realize this, we will notice that our appreciation of life and existence is accompanied by an increasing sense of despair and unhappiness.
“Live it, be joyful, and embrace it. Life is like a rollercoaster.”
– Avril Lavigne
The discontent we experience within cannot be entirely satisfied by external circumstances. We must first attain inner peace before we can find happiness outside ourselves. While external factors may bring us joy in the present moment, they do not have a lasting impact on our inner selves. Every individual encounters both positive and challenging experiences in life. Life would be an emotional roller coaster if we relied just on lifestyle evaluations for our source of happiness.
How happiness is generated
Happiness stems from within. The enduring inner happiness that withstands life’s emotional ups and downs originates from the core of our being. Discovering and embracing our true selves and living a purposeful life are the foundations of joy. Each aspect of our existence—physical, mental, emotional, and religious—needs to be at peace with itself. Discovering purpose, acknowledgment, and serenity in each of these aspects will provide a sense of fulfillment in life. Neglecting any of these areas can lead to a feeling of emptiness and a sense that something is lacking.
When there is no firm foundation for cultivating inner happiness, we often seek external sources to fill this void. This is why we may experience frustration and the sensation of chasing an “elusive butterfly.”
In the end
Do you struggle to find joy, like chasing an elusive butterfly? Take some time alone to reflect. Are you neglecting an important aspect of yourself and feeling empty as a result? Embracing your strengths and purpose will attract more happiness into your life, much like a butterfly landing on your shoulder.
