I may be telling my age, but the song Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin was very popular when I was in middle school. To the point that t-shirts, boxer shorts, stickers and other paraphernalia was made and sold with the moniker. Why was this slogan so important during that time? Why did it resonate with so many people? I believe it was because everyone is in the pursuit “happiness”. Who doesn’t want to be happy in their life?
I recently watched the film Happy on GaiamTV. It is a documentary that takes us on a journey in search of what really makes people happy. Combining real life stories of people from around the world and interviews with the leading scientists in happiness research, Happy explores the secrets behind our most valued emotion.
I had to ask myself the following questions after I watched this documentary. What does “happiness” mean to me? Is it already in me or it something I’m seeking? Happiness to me has nothing to do with wealth or fame. Sure, having money isn’t a bad thing. But I don’t think it can buy my happiness either. I find that spending time with loved ones makes me happy. Especially during the holidays. Working on my passions (photography, baking, sewing) makes me happy. I think this is why it’s important to find a career that revolves around your passions.
