Hey guys,
Lets talk about something that we think about all the time, "HAPPINESS ".
What is happiness?
Happiness is something that is around us but only some are lucky enough to acknowledge it. Happiness is finding positivity in everything around us. Happiness is not just about a good attitude and a good mood, it is something beyond all that. Happiness is satisfaction of the soul,peace of mind and body.
How to find happiness?
Sometimes a simple question demands a complicated answer. Finding happiness is not as easy as it sounds. It is a full time job. When you some one happy, you think they are doing it effortlessly. Think again, my friend. A happy person is not born happy, they try to be happy. They aren't born with a perfect life, with perfect people. They suffer, go through hardships, fight the battles of daily life. But what is different about them? They see the good in everything. When they lose a loved one, they remember their good things and move on. When they lose they say "so what" and get back up to try again and when they are down they think about all the good things in life.
Happiness is being hopeful.
When ever you are down there is still always something to be hopeful about. for example you lost a friend. You think you will never find some one to make you happy again, make you feel complete again But that is where you are wrong This world is filled with 7 billion people and surely if you look in the right places you will find someone and that is some thing you should be hopeful about.
Happiness is being thankful.
You may think your life sucks, that there are people living lives better than yours but have you ever thought the other way around. That there is someone who idealizes your life. Some one who thinks you are living their dream life, living in their dream home, dating their dream person, wearing their dream clothes and eating their dream food. This cycle goes on and on and on. The only way to stop it is to stop comparing your life with others. Stop fantasizing about all the things you don't have and be thankful about the things you do have. Be thankful that you have a family, if not, be thankful you have friends,if not, be thankful you have a house, if not, be thankful you are alive and that is above all that. Life is a gift you have to be thankful about. It is given to you for a purpose. So find that great purpose and fulfill it.
Happiness is loving yourself.
You aren't born to degrade yourself or to hate yourself or to loathe yourself and you are definitely NOT born to please others. If others don't like you for the things you love or the people you look up to or the family that you belong to, there are two words for them "screw you". Who cares what others thinks or what the society thinks. They have no right to control your life. So mute the sound of all the haters and you live your best life with no apologies.
Happiness is doing good.
There is nothing that that makes you more happy than doing something good. If you are feeling crappy, do something good. This world is like a trade center. Do good, get good. Share your good things with others and surely life will share its good good things with you.
Happiness is doing the things you love.
If you love something, don't be afraid to pursue it.If you like to paint, do it, If you like to to travel but you don't have the money, work for it. Stop making excuses. Don't just sit around and do nothing. That will only make you feel worse. If you do something with good intention surely you will succeed. So don't be afraid to give it a shot.
Happiness is appreciation.
Appreciate everything. Look around you and notice the things you take for granted. You will see a whole new world. Your eyes will open to new opportunities. You will find more things to be thankful about. You will notice the little things and they will add up to your list of good things.
Happiness is the"so what"rule.
If you failed a test,so what, if you lost your job,so what, If your friends left you, so what, If the love of your life cheated on you, so what.I know all these things make you feel terrible about life and you think its not that simple but believe me, when life closes one door another door opens. When something ends,its the beginning of something new. Saying 'so what' is a way of saying that there will be other opportunities,other great things to look forward to. If something horrible happens, don't think its the end of the world. This is what life is. It is messy, it is hard, it takes unexpected turns, it doesn't always give you a warning before something bad happens. So don't worry. Life has its way of doing thing things. Sometimes you can't do anything and in that case have faith and patience.
Love and live each day as it is your last. Everyday and every breath is a blessing and a chance to do something great. In the end,happiness isn't about wining or losing,trying or failing. It is about the little good things that add up in your life one by one and complete you.
and if all these things are difficult for you to do then just begin with patience and love.
I hope this post helped you and i really hope and wish that whatever is it that you are doing, if it has a good intention, you succeed. Most important of all, don't think little of yourself, you are enough and even more then that.
Take care,you are loved.
