#AdminConfession #RealizationsniAdmin #SharingThoughts I am really not a religious person. But I’m a believer. I believe that doing good deeds is much more important than kneel-walking in each and every church in the city but ending up not living the Christian way of life. I can say I am seeking for happiness with God as my guiding light. I read books. And I read lots of articles also. And I came up with these realizations that happiness should come within you and you share it with others and not the other way around. Positive outlook in life is so important that it brings you good vibes. There is one aspect in happiness that I would be glad to expound more about. This is about the importance of having something to look forward to everyday. According to Gretchen Rubin, author of the happiness project, there are four splendid truths in happiness. First Splendid Truth: To be happier, you have to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. It means everyday you will have something to look forward to as a good feeling, bad feeling, and right feeling that makes you a better you. It may be a simple source of happiness like waking up on time and not getting late at work or bad feeling like when your boss is angry at you about something or the right feeling when you ignore negative vibes and focus on the positive ones. It doesn’t matter what kind of feeling you will have that day but the most important thing is that it helps us grow and become better individuals than yesterday. Having something to look forward to makes you “feel good” and may also give an “atmosphere of growth” to your life, because the future seems bright. (InshaAllah.. MashaAllah) Second Splendid Truth: One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy. One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself. It means happiness is shared. You cannot share what you don’t have. So the key to happiness is being happy yourself and start sharing the happiness with others. The problem with the nature of man is that they thought happiness is sought in others and that your happiness is dependent on the happiness of others while in reality, happiness is just a feeling like hunger. When you are hungry, you eat, and after some time you get hungry again. It means happiness has ups and downs so you have to think positively in each and every peak and downside of being happy. Third Splendid Truth: The days are long but the years are short. The sentence is with great depth. What I understand about this is that you make the best out of your life everyday. You can do a lot of things everyday. To find simple reasons to be happy every day is the key to everlasting happiness. You can have lots of memories every day, but after so many years, you would just come up with one generalized realization, that during those times, you are happy. Years would pass by so shortly but memories in each day when you are making the best out of your life last forever. Fourth Splendid Truth: You are not happy unless you think you are happy. Negative vibes suck your energy and leave you empty. So one should have a positive outlook in life and think about happy moments worthy to be cherished. This is the typical mind over matter strategy as they say. These truths keep boggling my mind these past few days. And realizations come one by one. I always thought happiness is just like instant noodles (Quickchow Pancit Canton Chilimansi), that as soon as you needed it, you can instantly have it. Maybe you can, as for the case of the temporary happiness you can have on material things but I wasn’t thinking about these things, I was thinking of something more valuable than that: relationships. Relationship entails variety. There is my ultimate relationship with God, relationship with my parents, my siblings, my friends and with utmost hope for a lasting lifetime relationship with my one true love. I always ask God for signs these days. I am hoping to find one. Some of those signs are pointing me to you. Are you the ONE? PS: You know I’m serious about this. I hope you are too. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. -Admin Uriel (feelings revealed)
