Greetings Dear Reader,

.
Hope you are well.
.
This is a Principle that makes us sit up and take notice...does it not.

Principle; ....'No one can make you happy.'

People and circumstances can bring a temporary stimulation. Many times we mistake happenings for happiness. Happiness is contentment...not stimulation...not happenings.

There is a proverb that says...'He that handles a matter wisely shall find good:
And he who trusts in the LORD, happy is he.' Proverbs 16.20

Let's give this Principle and Proverb a think.....shall we.

.
Thank you for dropping by. ^__^

Kind Regards,

All for our ponderence.

Very nice pictures here of the tulips!

Indeed tough, only you are responsible for your own happiness, even God can only help, but you must want it otherwise even He can't do it

Another interesting principle, dear Bleujay. I agree with you sometimes we mistake happenings for happiness. We have to think about it. ❤️

Absolutely gorgeous stuff, all of it. I love that first photo. It has a motion that is freeing, that pink!, spilling out of that bit of glass, scrumptious!

Stunning.... Too stunning. The second picture looks like those images that are mostly used for wallpapers. I mean, the shot is lovely. I also like the wide angle shots, but the second picture of the tulip was the best of them all.

Happiness has been something that has been on my mind as a concept quite some time now.

I always figured it was a passive thing that was the overall feeling highly dependent upon our surroundings and results of our endeavours. Maybe I mistook happiness for contentment?

I have come to believe happiness is a decision. If things are not going well, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be happy. Unpleased with the situation perhaps but we can decide to have a good attitude about it and still choose happiness.

If this is the case, then surely you are right in that someone cannot make us happy. Perhaps connecting to other beings can contribute to happiness as we are fulfilling a part of our basic purpose.

In the same vein, we cannot make someone else happy either. Unless perhaps we can convince them to choose happiness for themselves.

Greetings @zekepickleman ,

Such a lovely thought-full comment...well said.

Enjoyed hearing your thoughts and thought process.

The phrase...'to be at peace with it' came to mind as I read your words 'to decide to have a good attitude'...interesting.

Thank you for dropping by.

True, no one can make us happy but only ourselves, as we all know, those are very small moments of joy in our lives.

The tulips in various shades are gorgeous, especially the white ones. Your drawing is excellent.

I agree with your principle: 'No one can make you happy.'

Wishing you a pleasant day! 🙂

I agree @bleujay, no one can make you happy, except yourself. The happiness that others will give you will not be permanent, but the happiness you have through your own efforts will last longer.

I admire your art :)

Blimey @bleujay! Now this principle has really had to make me think. You make a very bold statement here and as always with your principles they provoke much thought and consideration, and sometimes even internal consternation which can be a good thing sometimes for us humans.

When I really think whether it's possible for other people to make you happy I must answer in the affirmative. People are the source of happiness for a lot of us, I would even say most of us. Where would we be in life without our partners or our parents? What would we be without friends? I shudder to think. How much of a positive difference to our lives do good neighbours make? A lot I would say.

However, on the other hand I can see another side to this principle you are asking us to ponder. All of the above relationships I mentioned could turn out to be transitory, they could breakdown and you may seek other people in your life. So it could be said that true happiness is down to you, not others.

But when it comes to happiness does everything really come back to the individual? I guess a definitive answer has to be yes and no. But I think for most of us true happiness is sharing this life with others.

What an extraordinarily thought provoking principle you bring to the table this time @bleujay, thank you as always.
