I took up a challenge on FB called 100happydays. I thought, " I am in general a happy person, how difficult will it be to find a reason to be happy each day for 100 days in a row?" As it turns out... Very.
I was not sad. I was upbeat and happy. I was just too busy to pinpoint and cherish what I was happy with? That's when it hit me...
How many such days have I just allowed to go past? How many such moments have been lost? How many such trips between the pillar to the post have completely overshadowed those moments of simple pleasure in out lives? Many. Way too many!
Just got back from a movie... and sat down to work. And I realized that I am happy. Why? Just like that. You know there is this bubble in my heart...The kind that you feel when you fall in love for the first time.
I am not going to dig deeper, to know why I am elated.
I am not going to look for a reason. I am just going to enjoy this moment.
From this minute on...I will not ask my happiness to justify its existence. From this minute on... I am no longer apologetic about who or what I am and of this feeling of contentment.
Every now and then it’s a good thing to stop looking for happiness and just be happy. Michael Josephson
I love when I get that "just happy" feeling for a whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about desire and intent. Once you know how to seperate desire from intent you know how to be happy.
ReplyDeleteBeing happy gets easier when you have learnt to find your happiness in the happiness of your loved ones. Further, it saves you moment to cherish in the days to come. It works with me often. Disclaimer though is that you need to have that loved one. Best bets are usually kids and pets. Anything else is usually risky because most other options come with more brain and less heart :-) thankfully my little one still has time to grow up :)
