Chasing Happiness

Worried about Nothing Podcast 34 - conversation with Danielle, Katya and Kim, 11th October 2020

~ Worried About Nothing & Nothing to Worry About ~

Weekly conversations (and individual podcasts) with Danielle, Katya and Kim (and friends) about topics ranging from spirituality, to meditation, to fears and worries, and other subjects in between.

Today we spoke about chasing happiness. How so many of us can spend our lives chasing an illusory goal of 'happiness when....' something happens, or is achieved, or realised, whether material, spiritual or psychological. And how this happiness is fleeting, as it isn't real, it isn't sustainable, it's based on something outside of ourselves. And keeps us from being present, from living in the moment, as all of our attention is focused on some future point. 

We talked about how the peaks and troughs of misery and happiness aren't real, aren't the true, neutral contentment of being truly happy. We spoke about the link between beauty and happiness, how in this world of surface judgement, so much importance is placed on external appearance, and that true beauty is synonymous with being comfortable in our own skin, and radiates from the inside out, being happy to be ourselves exactly as we are.  

We discussed how, as Arathi Ma speaks of, when the focus goes from seeking ourselves in the infinite mirrors of the world to the inner stillness of who we really are, the chasing and searching falls away, as we find true happiness within.
