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 it. Happiness is the interval between periods of unhappiness.We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.Life indeed is a roller coaster ride filled with uncertainty but one thing you can guarantee is shielding your happiness. You control your emotions and not the other way round. In the end, it always narrows down to you and how you deal with the setbacks.
You should not try to hold on to happiness but enjoy it in the moment. The struggle you face will result in your growth and you can draw strength from that. This is an inspiring poem by Chanie Gorkin. Some days it can be tough to see the good in life, but as this poem proves, some times you just need to flip things in your head. Metaphorically, of course.
Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day
Now read it from bottom to top, the other way, And see what the day really feels like.Everything is contingent on how you wish to perceive it. A rich man can be the poorest and the poorest man can still be the richest.The magnitude of happiness is independent of the number of zeros to the right in your bank balance.When you smile, your emotions will follow.You are the boss over your emotions, and you can not only rule over how you feel but also actually dictate your body how to react.Create your own happiness to manifest your dreams faster.
Be the one that makes you happy.
