Happiness and You

Finding Happiness

“It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”

Dale Carnegie

Happiness is a wonderful and delightful thing. It is not about the material things that you possess or the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is evidenced by the fact that some of the poorer countries in the world are the happiest people in the world. 

There is a way to be happy that I would like to share it with you. You must have heard of a positive mental attitude. The same thing can be applied to happiness. I have found out that in order to be happy all you need to do is just by telling yourself ’’I am happy” repeatedly. This will trigger your mind to generate thoughts of happiness. From the moment you wake up in the morning until you go to bed this happiness feeling will linger throughout the whole day while you are driving, eating, working, talking, or not doing anything at all. 

 As you know there are times in your life that your mood is low. It is very normal. We can’t be happy all the time. Whenever your spirits are low just accept it and don’t try to do anything at all. Our life, just like the river or the sea you will witness high tides and low tides all the time. Allow the low tides in your life to go by as they are. Apart from the low periods in your life, you should always generate happiness from within. After all, time passes by swiftly and life is short and unpredictable, while you are alive and living in the moment, why not be happy? Why tell yourself to be miserable when you can be happy? The choice is yours. Be alive and be happy!
