"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.
"Pursuit of Happiness", our western world developed the idea that humanity are not happy, that happiness is a set of pleasant circumstances, and we must run after them. For some of us, happiness is a dream, always in front of us, we run after, we "pursue" it. Sometimes we catch a little bit of happiness, in a pleasant circumstance, then it slips away and we go again trying to find it.
It all start with the wrong axiom, "human being is not happy". Life is hard and happiness is out there, somewhere.
How different from what we learn from the Creator, what has been taught in oriental religions. We must remember that Christianity come from the middle east. We read in genesis 1:31 " God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" . Creation is good, mankind is good.
Verse 27 "So God created man in his own image... 28 God blessed them" . God is love and justice. We rage when we see injustice, but we show mercy to the needy. God image inside of us. Our Inner Being, our soul is the breath of God in us. Gen 2:7 "...and (He) breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being". God is a good God, full of contentment, joy, happiness and He created the humankind at His image, to be happy, full of contentment.
If someone does not believe that there is a God, or that He speaks through His word, yet we have the evidence of human happiness in the nature.
Have you seen how our pets show happiness ? how they are playful? "puppies" chase one another, hide, run , bark , wag and show how "happy" they are. It is not the same with babies? of course not barking or wagging... We still have games in adult life that reassembles our toys and moods of infancy. Happiness is inside of all of us.
We are born with Happiness, instead of pursue it we need to learn, relearn, to enjoy it. Enjoy the coffee in the morning, the bright sun, the place where we live, the people around us, and we need to show our young children that happiness is inside of us. We enjoy thoughts of peace, love and gladness, and through our thoughts we bring good circumstances. Our joy is not because the circumstances but because of the thought that brought them.
I read about a man that went through the concentration camp without loosing his mind. He said " they can take everything from me but my thoughts" .
The happiness of my thoughts bring happy circumstances, and even when circumstances are not the most desirable I still think about good things and I know things will turn around.

I agree completely with your point of view on this topic. The only moment that truely exists is "right now" and when we live in the "moment" how we want to live in the "future" then and only then will we see it unfold before us, so that there will be no pursuit, but an immediate sense of having all that we desire. To "pursue" something is to intend that it is not yours and to "live it" is to take ownership of it. (To feel worthy of Gods gifts.)
God intended us to partake in all of his glorious work and gave us the ability to create and inspire others through our joy, so we must live to our fullest potential in every moment so that we shall recieve from Him more to be joyful for and in turn inspire more people to want to experience the joy that God has given us.
A specific line that you wrote jumped out at me and I would like to quote it here again, "Our joy is not because of the circumstances but because of the thought that brought them." God feels the vibration of our thoughts and responds every time. If you do not yet have that which you desire, think as if you do and it will be given to you. We must learn to accept all that God has to offer, knowing that God wants us to experience all of our desires makes it so easy to become worthy of ownership and to dwell apon only the good things we desire and let go of the negative thoughts that fill us with doubt and worry is something that we all must work on in order to know true joy.
We need to trust ourselves and God in order to know that we are worthy of happiness. Be grateful for the wonderful things in your life right now and you shall recieve more to be grateful for, never having to pursue any of them only having to acknowlege them as you recieve them.
Love,Trust, Ask, Recieve, Be Grateful and Inspire others to do the same. -

I like "is to take ownership of it". I read this morning Paul to the Corinthians 3: "no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours". They were quarelling about "parties" when in fact they had ALL. All is yours.
I think about the promissed land, they had it before they got there. It was just a question of "possesion". Take ownership. I accept that, and I declare this morning, I am taking ownership of life, death, present, future, the world, everything that belongs to me. Because "we have it all".
