I am often asked "Bakit ang saya mo lagi?"
"Why are you always happy?".
My simple answer would be "There are many reasons to be happy about!". These reasons kept me up and running and smiling all day. These are the reasons that I would like to share with you all so that it will not be an effort to be happy.
Remember that "Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response". You have to have the desire to be happy because it's not instant. Happiness is an action from your heart and not just a facial expression.
Some people might find it hard to be happy but there are some quick tips that I would like to share from my personal experiences. Something that we all do but just don't realize its potential in making us all happy.
Here you go:
1. Nobody is perfect, even I am not perfect and I can never be one. In order to be happy, we need to accept that we have our own flaws and failures in life. These things are not good to look at but it does make our lives more colorful. This is the same principle with the people around us, they too have their shortcomings and these are but normal.
2. Human beings have the tendency to look at the flaws of other people and sometimes we feel happy if we say bad things about them (at their back). This is something that we should avoid because it does not give a healthy relationship with people. If we do not have a healthy relationship with people then we are attracting negative vibes and thus defeating ourselves to be happy.
3. Relationships are powerful to make one person happy. The more that you have a good relationship with your family and friends the higher possibility that you can be happy. One thing to maintain such relationship is if we learn how to listen. Not just listen perse but listen from the heart. Your friends, relatives, loved ones will feel when you are listening from your heart or not. Therefore it has to be sincere. This is another way that I feel happy within.
4. Responding to every situation is good but responding with positive enthusiasm is even better. Learn to say YES in every good thing that comes your way. If something is not for you and you want to say NO then say it in a nice manner where the recipient will feel the sincerity from your words. Saying YES to positive things attracts more positivity in life.
5. Everything happens for a reason, may it be big or small, may it be grand or simple. With this in mind, we need to be thankful in everything that we receive whether it is good or not good. "Thank you" are two powerful words that we can use without any cost involved, we should say them more often. I personally like saying "thank you" even with the simplest act from a stranger. It's also our way of appreciation and contentment.
6. Laugh Loud! You will feel most happy if you are able to release that positive energy through a good laugh. Mind you, this is very contagious and if you do it right you will never realize its potential in making another person happy. No need to elaborate because of all the things I have written here this is the easiest of the easiest!
7. Stepping into the stairs without seeing the end of the path - this is having a positive outlook in life, this is FAITH. Knowing and believing that something good is yet to come and giving thanks in advance is what we should all do. Personally it makes me happy to think that something BIG is about to happen and it will happen not only to me but to my family and loved one as well.
Happiness is but just a word that starts with letter H and ends will letter S.
However it may sound, whoever say it, we create our own Happiness and if we do it right it is like a puzzle that will fit perfectly in our Life's landscape!
Keep everything light and you will feel light.
Carry the world on your shoulders and you will never see light ~
Xoxo
