Making Yourself Happy; Not That Hard

Some years ago I was riding the motorcycle home.  I live ten miles from my office.  I was about 5 miles out when a rainstorm came up and I was drenched to the skin in seconds.

As the road floods at 7 miles  I had to keep going, or I couldn’t get home.   Another youth came up beside me and I shouted; “Lovely day, isn’t it!”  He, whose face was in a scowl mumbled, ‘Yah’.

As I left him I shouted; “We have to do this more often…”

Now I was taking it for a joke.   Because there is no other way to take it.  I could be miserable and sunk into depression, or I could be bright and chirpy.  I picked the latter.

I always try to make myself happy.  To see every little thing as wonderful.  The sun is shining today, I got to put my things on the line and they dried before I took them down.

An acquiantance, who owes me money, calls now and then to moan and groan and I commiserate with her, knowing she’s full of crap and that the only way I’ll get the money is to hold her to ransom.   I don’t worry about it.  I let her have the ulcers.

I know when people are lying to me.  It’s my super power.  I can read people as you read these words.   I also know that by pretending I believe them and acting interested I am building armour.   To tell them what I think…. Nah.  Let me take them as comic relief.

I don’t take many things seriously.    Sure, I can have a thin layer of annoyance and then my sense of the ridiculous burrows through.

Just be happy.   Be happy now.   It will help you think clearer and avoid errors, and if you pretend to be happy skillfully enough, you’ll be happy.

    • Indeed you selected the right option. We must learn to be happy and enjoy every incident of life. It is not so difficult but requires some sort of practice. We must be perfect in this art that is going to change our life.

    • I don't dwell with people if seen and observed their bad behavior. I think it is my personality to stay away from these people in achieving an ultimate happiness. I can live without them and had been tested myself a couple of times.

    • Being positive with things coming in our life is a key to make us happy.
      To be happy is not difficult, and yes it is. Only we can not feel happiness if we always look into those problems. We must deal with struggles positively, and we'll feel true happiness.
