Divorce is such a depressing life event, the pursuit of happiness can seem pretty far away.

However, Craig Harper has some interesting thoughts about happiness today at Lifehack.org.

“Could it be that happiness lies not in the chasing, but rather in the choosing?” asks Harper.

Is happiness joy and contentment, or is it the absence of fear or pain?

Harper says he found happiness when he stopped looking for it in the chasing, acquiring, accumulating and even planning.  He learned to let go, and when he did, he found that he already had happiness.

If you are divorced or separated, where do you look for your happiness?
