Happiness

What is happiness?

According to the English dictionary,happiness is a state of feeling contented and pleasured.

In my opinion,happiness is easy to be found.In another words,it could be found almost anywhere as long as we think positively.For an instance,having meals with family and friends,helping others who are in needs,jogging,reading a good book,listen to music,or even lying on bed idly and so forth.

The following quotes were collected form a self-help book:

- All the good things all around us, if you have awareness, you can be happy. -

                                         &

- Happiness is not the destination but every step of the journey creating a pleasure. -

 

Exactly,happiness is not difficult to possess.

Many People might think that only if they earn a lot of money,achieve a great achievement,live in a big mansion,wearing brandy clothes and jewelry as well as driving a BMW car could be considered as living in happiness or contentment.In fact,it is not true.

Here is a quote about Happiness written by Buddha:

'All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.'

Nowadays,our lives become more and more complicated and hectic.Human beings usually do not have extra times to think and reflects their lives.Every now and then,they missed some happy moments just because of their own negatively point of view of happiness.

 

 'Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.'

In order to lead a happy and blissful life,we should always be appreciate and thankful for being a human being no matter what happens.Be appreciative towards our families,friends,colleagues,teachers,and so on.

 

'Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.'-Dale Carnegie

Today is my dad's birthday.We wished him happy birthday and enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by my mum.Even though it was a simple celebration,but we felt equally happy.It's what life meant to be.Cherish every moment of our lives,as long as we could breathe.
