“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” ~ Dalai Lama

Each and every person is in one way or another seeking to find happiness in life. In their journey, however, many people get side-tracked and forget what truly brings joy and celebration into their lives and what robs them of happiness. They feel lost, trying to quench their psychological thirst for happiness with substitutes that do nothing but leave them even more thirsty.

My own life’s journey was arduous and filled with obstacles that prevented me from finding contentment, but as I was growing older and maturing, I came to realize those pursuits which, instead of filling my life with happiness, were actually stealing it from me, and so I made the decision to let go of them. The result? My life was turned upside down. I found myself living with more joy and laughter and experiencing more freedom and fulfillment.

Here I would like to share with you some of these pursuits, which most people share to a lesser or greater degree, and which you need to give up so as to find your way to living happy and free.
