Happiness Is About Peace

Happiness Is About Peace

When I brush my teeth and wash my face in the morning I always listen to YouTube videos.  I had listed to a video from Stephan Colbert and the next video that played was his interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on The Colbert Report.  I don’t like/dislike her, but continued listening.  They discussed happiness and that Jada can say now that she is happy.  Stephen joked about her finally finding happiness at age 46. Jada said  "I really thought happiness had a lot to do with pleasure and I realize that happiness is about peace. I'm the most peaceful I've ever been in my life."  I liked this.  As most of you know, I deal with depression, pretty much all the time, and while I don’t think my definition of happiness is the issue (it is my MS brain not sending/using chemicals as it should,) but that being said, I think it will be helpful for me to rethink what happiness is.  I don’t have to be completely carefree, laughing, having the greatest time to be happy.
