Be Happy

The Pursuit of Happiness?

The Declaration of Independence says we are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Hmmmm, what does that even mean? 

The second week in November (8th-14th) is National Pursuit of happiness week. To remind everyone that you have the right to pursue happiness. Well, what is happiness and how do you get it? To some, it's material needs, to others, it's family and friends. Some believe it's just an inner peace that requires only self, while others seem to require the help of a mentor or counselor. 

The definition of pursue is to find or employ measures to obtain or accomplish: seek, but it also means to follow in order to overtake, capture, kill or defeat. (ref:  http://www.merriam-webster.com)
I assume the first definition applies, and today is a good day to start finding measures to obtain happiness.
