There are some people who seem to think that happiness is the result of all the right wheels turning at just the right time. You’re walking down the street, find a thousand rupee note, get a compliment from a long lost crush of yours, meet the perfect guy or girl (and don’t totally make a fool of yourself), go to your favorite store and get something for free,etc.
It’s easy to be happy when everything seems to be going your way, but I think that defining happiness that way reduces the essence of it and makes it connected to luck somehow, or an accident, which it is not.
You don't need an A+ grade to make you smile. You don't need to make "being happy" a condition to be satisfied only if you are having a great day.There are days that are just mediocre or plain bad, and it’s on those days that the true nature of happiness is found. Have you ever met someone who stayed positive, even when they’re having a bad day, and everything that can go wrong seems to be going wrong? If you’re having a bad day, too, just being near someone like that can be uplifting.
People who are able to smile even through the worst of times have learned a very important lesson, the same lesson I stated above: Happiness doesn’t just happen.
The key to happiness: choosing it. It’s not an easy choice all the time, and it very well may be the last thing you want to do sometimes. When grief strikes, or when you just can’t seem to catch a break, sometimes you just want to sulk and stay upset, perpetuate the sadness. It’s a natural response, but it isn’t a required behavior, it’s a choice. And choosing to be happy will make you a better, stronger, wiser, more long suffering person.
We just need to learn to change our attitude to be happy in life. Ofcourse it's not easy and yes it does take time but it's worth it. Channeling that frustration into something beautiful, something full of energy and something full of possibilities, yes it's that thing called HAPPINESS!!
