Trying to be happy means failure from the start. You can't try to be happy. Trying to be happy is proof that you are not happy. You can't chase happyness, it can only come to you. and the moment you ask yourself: 'am I happy', its a sign you are not.
As long as I'm just content, I don't worry about happyness. Our goal shouldn't be to strive for happiness, imho. Just try to remove and minimalize what actively makes you unhappy.
That sounds like a catch22.
I think it's possible to be happy and able to realize this, and proclaim that. I don't see why this shouldn't possible.
No, I'm not saying its impossible to be happy and know it.
I'm saying that asking yourself: am I happy is a sign you are not.
If you are content, you're not bound to put your own happiness into question.
