Grows It Beneath Our Feet

Post Written By Eugene Morgan

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.” – James Openheim

Why not plant the seeds and attend to it daily to make sure it is getting enough sun and water? Happiness is possible when our attention is on what we’re doing now. When our focus is on what we’re doing at this moment, we’re in a state where nothing else matters. We’re not concerned about what can make us happy.  Instead, we can experience a state of happiness while we’re doing a simple task. We become one with the task while everything is blocked out.  Let happiness grow beneath our feet while the distance of happiness phases.
