FINDING HAPPINESS There was this story of a little boy who ate worms because he felt no one would mind if he did. No one would care if he gets sick because he has no friends. How many of us feel that way? We feel abandoned and alone because no one would say, “Don’t, you’ll get sick if you do that.” How many of us feel that our life is useless because no one cares? We seek that elusive thing called happiness but there is really no cut and dried formula or rules by which we could say, “follow this and you will be happy.” Since time immemorial, man has searched for that one special something that would permanently put a smile on his face, a lift of the heart and a feeling of joy everyday of his life. But do you think life would be interesting if we don’t encounter those small barriers that give its meaning? Problems are meant to spice up life just as search for happiness is. They say that happiness is a state of mind and it is a result of events and circumstances that have positive effect in our well-being. I don’t think we need to search for it because it naturally follows when something good or something inspiring happens in our lives. Some people would be happy with just a few pesos in their pockets but some need millions stashed in their bank accounts to make them feel secure and happy. Happiness comes easy to those who look at the sunrise and think that it is another golden opportunity to shine while it does not come easy to those who think that it is another day to hurdle. In the end, happiness is how we make it, it depends on our attitude towards life, whether we choose to enjoy it or choose to be miserable. Happiness is infectious while misery is not. Think of happy thoughts always. December will always be a favorite month of the year. Happy new month dear friends....arlene (culled from my WordPress blog: https://arlene1956.wordpress)
