This may be obvious, but sometimes it’s easy to confuse the two, especially while in the middle of a fantastically fun mess, but fun is certainly not happiness and I’d like to take special care to remain aware of this difference over the next few weeks. I believe happiness is far more important than having fun or being fun. Fun can be a positive characteristic or a good time, but happiness is a fulfilled state of being, fun or not. I could live well without fun, but would be miserable without happiness. Moving forward, I will focus on developing happiness in myself and my environment and will welcome fun only as it serves this greater purpose. Have fun, but more importantly, be happy.
Have fun, but more importantly, be happy.

I made this point to a friend the other day, who accused me of seeking happiness outside myself. That would be downright foolish, every intelligent aware human realizes that happiness is only found in one place: within. However, having fun and the pursuit of a good time should not be confused with happiness, ever. They are separate! for sure! 🙂
