Why is it that happiness is something many people are searching for but often times never find? This can occur for many different reasons but the one I often point towards the most is because too often people are not living a life of purpose. They are products of circumstance. Sure, they might appear happy but in confidence will tell you that they don't have "IT” in their lives. Am I making sense? A great question to ask yourself when searching for your own purpose, the "IT" in your life that you need but can't quite put your finger on is, “How do you measure happiness?”

It is important that each of us, including me, measure happiness using our own unique measuring stick. What makes you happy might not make others happy. What you view as a success others might view as a failure. So, when evaluating happiness make sure you choose your measuring stick carefully.
