Happiness is something we all strive for. The pursuit of happiness is a major priority in our lives. We seek out different things in our careers, and family, and finances to help us achieve happiness.
When we’re kids I think happiness seemed simpler. We were made happy by the simplest of things: that new toy we got for Christmas, a birthday party, or a snow day so we didn’t have to go to school. Yeah, I liked snow days. But while we were made happy through the simplest things, we were also made happy by some pretty superficial things. As we grow up our source of happiness seems to become more complex and we learn that some of those things that made us happy when younger were pretty fleeting. Sometimes, even as we grow older, it’s not always readily apparent what will make us happy. But we pursue things only to find out that we’re not happy once we’ve attained them.
I remember I was always happy on Christmas when I got that one present that I wanted. There was always that anticipation leading up to Christmas, wondering what that present was under the tree. All that time leading up to that day you were excited. Then when you finally got what you wanted you were even more excited. Then you start actually playing with that toy and it just seemed to kind of go downhill from there. For the first few days it was great, but then it eventually got to the point that you weren’t even playing with it anymore. By that time all your family had left and you wish they could just come back for a few more days.
I know that was one thing that always made me happy—when the whole family would get together for Christmas. I may not have even realized it at the time. As we all got older though, that seemed to happen less and less. My siblings grew older and then moved away and got married. It just became more difficult for us to get together. I think when I was younger I just took our family time at Christmas for granted. I probably assumed that it would just always be that way. I came to the realization as I got older that I missed that time together more than any present I could have gotten. I have some pretty good memories of those Christmases of old.

I think that’s the lesson we all learn. You can’t get back that time with your family. We may even spend our later years in the pursuit of things, only to find out, like that little kid at Christmas, that the happiness isn’t lasting. We attain that thing and then, once we get it, we are turning back around looking for our family. Our realization comes at our greatest moment of disappointment. It’s then that we realize how little the pursuit of things matters.
