5. Do you believe happiness can be created?

Created happiness. Self created I assume that means making happiness for yourself?

What is it you think you need for happiness? I would love a big house, a mini (car), a large garden and a cleaner and gardener. But I can’t afford those things and would they make me happy if I had them?

Everyone has their own way of being happy. I’ve heard the opinion that some people would rather ‘expect the worse’ so that when it doesn’t happen they’re happily surprised. But I prefer to expect the best outcome. To be fair, it usually happens but when it doesn’t, I don’t feel as though I’ve been massively let down.

Can we make happiness? I think so, by accepting who we are, by accepting that the other people in our lives have their agendas and lives. By seeing things for how they are now rather than having expectations of others, whether negative or positive, that don’t take into consideration their needs and wants.

I’ve always been happy, basically, underneath. Outside sources stress me out at times but I think it’s my deep self sufficiency that helps keep the feeling of happiness going.

Although last night my eldest announced that I will die in a stupid way because I’m never worried about things I should worry about and I’m too blasé… 🤣🤣 maybe she’s right!!

How I could create the most happiness in life though would be to finally eliminate this toenail fungus!!
