What Makes You Happy?

I’m not big on philosophy.  In fact, I’m more of a logical realist than a theoretical philosopher. But the question, “what makes me happy” always leaves me philosophizing on life and what it all means.  There’s no logical answer for it.  We all strive for happiness and to attain the definition of what we believe it to be. But in our seeking of happiness, can we ever truly just be happy?  Every now and again I like to step back from the business side of Planaganza and explore why I really do this.  And when it comes down to it, constructing the site, implementing new tools, designing the pages, and thinking of ways to market Planaganza just makes me happy!  The whole thought of what Planaganza could mean to people makes me really happy.   And sometimes, happiness is just that simple.  I’m not seeking happiness or looking for it, I’m just being happy.  Happiness is not a series of analyzed circumstances that equal happiness when they turn out in our favor.  Rather, happiness is the feeling you get when you’re doing something you love or when you feel content and at peace despite the chaos that swarms around you.  Happiness is knowing that in every failed attempt there is a valuable lesson and in every victory there is someone who you can use your success to help.  That’s what makes me happy.  What makes you happy?
