They say we should try to be happy. But nobody tells us that happiness comes from within.
Happiness is not something that we can achieve permanently. Different situations make us feel differently. Can we say there are shades of happiness. Sometimes we are just happy whereas sometimes we are on cloud nine. In between comes different stages of being happy.
Here we have to know that happiness comes from within, as it is completely a mind game.
Sometimes seeing someone beloved makes us happy whereas in different situation they may make us sad. Here can we say that the source of happiness is also not permanent. The same thing can make us happy and sad in different situations. It means that there is no external source of being happy but happiness comes from within.
- Happiness comes from acceptance – when you learn to accept yourself, your flaws, weakness, strengths,your journey, your life, your blessings,your struggles, your defeats , it releases the extra burden you are carrying in your heart. This is the first stage of “happiness comes from within”.
- Happiness comes from learning and evolving – when you learn to face life, when you learn to behave calmly, then you will start growing and evolving with outcomes. The minor changes in yourself everyday will make you feel happy.
- Happiness comes when we choose it- when we focus on complaining and crying all the time we may overlook the opportunity to be happy. We may waste our energy in being sad.
Happiness is a choice. We can never be happy if we don’t focus on being happy. If we attach our happiness to someone or something, it would be occasional. But if we try to accept ourselves, to improve ourselves and stop wasting our time and energy in crying and complaining we will be surprised to see how calm, interesting and relaxing life would be.
