"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections".

It’s the question we’re all trying to find the answer to; what is happiness and how do we get it? We fill our lives with the business of searching for happiness in many things yet it is possible that the very pursuit is taking us further away from the goal.

We think happiness arrives at a point in the future when our lives become perfect with a backdrop of fireworks and fan fare without any disasters or annoyances. But in reality happiness does not come with a big ‘happiness’ label across it and is generally not in the form of winning lotto or a marriage proposal from Brad Pitt but is often more subtle and smaller.

For example; a sunny day at the beach, your favourite slippers, lying in the arms of the one you love on a lazy Sunday morning, – it’s all happiness we just need to learn to recognise it, appreciate it and cultivate it.
