In the United States, the pursuit of happiness is a god-given right and Americans have a document to prove it. But I wonder why the Founding Fathers deliberately phrased it, the pursuit of happiness, as if to say --- happiness in itself cannot be granted because it was, and still remains, tied to materialism. In the pursuit of happiness, it is each persons own definition: riches, health, religion, etc. Take, as an example, the pessimist and optimist. If anything bad happens, the pessimist believes it will not last long but will surely undermine his life. He feels the deck is stacked against him, yet being more realistic than the optimist, he prepares himself for misfortune. The optimist regards it as a temporary setback and goes about removing the obstacle. He risks more but these efforts give meaning to his life and he makes the best of it. To acquire is to be happy (so the culture teaches) therefore blessed are they for among them are corporate executives in their mansions.There is enough on the subject of happiness to fill an ebook, but lets measure just one facet: the Internet. How much would it take to make you a happy Interneter? Has your big break eluded you thus far? What kind of Internet success would give you a sense of control over your life because when you think about it, control over your life is a huge slice of happiness.To generate an income on the Internet, it must come through the development of integrity, character, and efforts on behalf of a cause greater than oneself.

This mindset offers an easier path to your own success.Personally, I have not set goals of Internet success so high that it would plunge me into depression when deprived of a six figure income. Given the years (like me) you have labored the Internet, you must avoid the joy-busters out to derail your efforts. Only then can you begin living up to your full potential. You will discover more energy and creativity, better relationships, healthier thoughts leading to new ideas and a more rewarding income.Is there a difference between the life you have and the life you want? Do you think excuses or results? You can change this today; be that singer who is tone-deaf but sings anyway for the sheer joy it offers. Jim Leonard wrote, Happiness is a skill. As with other skills, you can get better at it. He suggests that at this point in your life you might think that things are not the way they should be. Yet things are the way they are. If you can be happy in that reality, then you will improve your life faster and reach your goals easier. Energy will not be wasted on friction or regrets.What you have is the present moment. Use it enjoy it. © 2004 Esther Smith
