The hard part to happiness

"Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy"

This was a line that Gretchen Rubin touched on in "The Happiness Project" and it is something that I've begun pondering myself. We must put forth the effort, then let it go, so that the progress can manifest. I talk about this in my yoga classes a lot. Sometimes either the effort or the letting go part can be 'not so happy.' But like breaking bad habits in order to form good ones, we must stay diligent in the pursuit of our happiness, even if we run into a few snags along the way. Just remember to always look at the bigger picture, then the journey will make sense.
