More often than not, we spoil ‘happiness’ as the labor of love. A goal we presently can’t seem to reach. In any case, you have come across that ‘Instagrammable’ motivational quote which says that happiness is, rather, the journey not destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, quotes do not resolve any issues. At times, they are\nsimplified to such an extent that we generally misconstrue them. Indeed, I\nbelieve that happiness is the journey, however it does not imply that our new\nobjective is to now be happy all the time. That is the part where individuals\nget the idea of happiness wrong because it is not constant. Your journey does\nnot need to be in every case splendid and wonderful. There will be storms along\nthe way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it is time to erase that misinterpretation from\nyour neurotic pathways. Happiness is not constant. If you are in the wake of\nperusing this quote, you have set yourself to accomplish 100% happiness, you\nare bound to disappointment and frustration. Happiness is not the goal, yet it\nis not entirely the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is happiness? How dare a 22-year-old like me address\nyou on such ‘insight’? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not have a definitive response to the definition of\nhappiness, however I do need to concede that occasionally I would find myself\nbeing happy. Also, by getting those moments, it has taught me a lot about\nmyself and what happiness means to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of ‘happiness’ is mind boggling and ever-changing throughout\nour life stages. Much the same as love. When I was a child, genuine happiness\ncame through getting candy as endowments<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what is the significance of happiness at 22? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can a 22-year-old feel content with what she has when\nshe has not earned her first pay check, is living on a student spending plan\nand stays in a small apartment? At 22, there is such a great amount of work in\nprogress. There is so much to focus on and achieve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the semester began, I would consider how far I have come:\nI have a place I can call home, friends I can spend time with whenever, and\ntruly, enough cash to live and appreciate life. I do not generally have the entirety\nof this all the time and not every person has these privileges or such an\nautonomous life. My parents do not get worked up about my whereabouts. As a\nstudent my life is not luxurious, yet it is sufficient for me to feel upbeat. And,\nthat is happiness at 22 for me. That sentiment of having enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money does not buy happiness. Having limited resources\nforces you to work around them so you do not lack the fundamental things\nthroughout your everyday life. That is one of the greatest lessons I have\nlearnt during the course of my university life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, happiness at 22 is actually the inclination that you\nhave enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
