What would be the difference between hapiness and contentment?

One does not need millions to be happy.

One does not need a massive mansion to be happy.

One does not need a soft cushioned bed to be happy.

All that you need is to have the peace of mind that gives you the freedom to leave everything to God ( did you see the begging vessel?) and allow yourself to sleep. Sleep with not a worry to crease your forehead. Sleep with not a thought to what tomorrow will bring.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better. Perhaps it will be the same.But who the hell cares?

There are people who will live every day like they lived every yesterday. And every day prior to that.

They will pass their days as if nothing matters.

Then there are those who pass each day in wonder that the life is, the rewards it brings, they celebrate each little victory. And find their happiness in the air. They find their joy in their daughter's kiss and their son's hug. They find their joy in the cold when they breathe out smoke on cold cold ice creams, and in the heat when the first rain makes everything around them smell so wonderful that...

Yes... happiness is a funny thing. It alights on your shoulder if you only stop. And pause a moment. If you try to run after it and catch it- it will fly away, never to be caught.

You cannot find your happiness trying to run after it. You find your happiness in your own garden, in the dust and the grime of everyday living, and working and winning and... finally being able to sleep the moment you hit the pillow.
