One time a friend asked what happiness is for me. With so many things in my mind, I uttered, “It is what makes me pretty.” 🙂
Defining happiness may not so easy. Some regard happiness as the feeling that you experience after reaching your goals or when you become successful. Others think that happiness is achieved when they have inner peace. For others, it’s getting what you want.
Yes, the measure of happiness is not equal for every individual, but whatever meaning we give to happiness, the good news is, it is achievable.
With all the sham, drudgery, and broken dreams life have to offer, it seems difficult for us to attain happiness. I admit my life is not figured all the way out. Looking back to the past years, life was really hard for me in so many ways. I sometimes complain that life was too unjust even if I do my best working. I feel like my progress was not expeditious as I planned. I feel distressing when things do not happen the way I wanted to be. How do I seek bliss after all these challenges? It was then that I realized we all have to strive for this thing called happiness.
Happiness, like anything else in life, needs to be nurtured. We are responsible for our own happiness. We are responsible on how to respond when life does not exceed our expectations. I have to agree that experiences bring people more happiness than do possessions. I also understand that money cannot buy happiness as we usually said. So, I have to put more value on my experiences instead.
When I am stressed and drained from life’s demands, I spend few minutes on thinking about those that make me happy like family and friends. These persons are the ones that I love with every piece of my being. They are vital elements to our ultimate happiness by being the source of inspiration during tough times. This will give me the opportunity to focus on the positive things in my life and will lead to continuing happiness.
I also understand the importance of surrounding yourself with happy and optimistic people because it is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. Feelings are contagious, so if we want to open the door to happiness, let us get rid of the pessimistic people and let us not waste time comparing ourselves with others.
While there are times that require us to be serious, let us find a way to apprehend that we deserve to be happy. Despite the discouraging news, we hear every day, we still have much to be happy about. May we then live our lives to maintain our happiness while trying our best not to cause unhappiness to anyone.
Maybe there are some who wouldn’t agree how I elaborate happiness but that is how I see it. 🙂 🙂 🙂

For me happiness is living with my family, safe, protected and keep enjoying small moments of life. All pray to God to keep all the members of my family always healthy and sound.
For me money cannot buy happiness. I want money only to cater to the needs of my family and keep them happy always.
