Finding Your HAPPY!!

Finding that thing called HAPPINESS!!

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I have to find joy within myself, lift myself up, and keep it moving. Easier said than done, right? Well the truth is, you really do have to start to work on that place inside called ‘self’, to truly find happiness, peace and joy.

First things first, You Gotta Love Yourself!!

To love oneself means to accept that you are not perfect. That behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from ones mistakes.

Finding happiness also pertains to contentment. When you find contentment with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, etc., and all the things you now have – truly, you can find joy and contentment.

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life like it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find the happiness you seek.

I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, winning and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I’ll tell you what, every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the most expensive car, or getting the employee of the year award, or even beating the sales quota for the month. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or even the best.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults, you have passed the test to becoming genuinely happy. For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten times back.

When it all boils down for me though, I’ve learned that without God by my side, and putting my trust and faith in Him, I will never be happy, or have joy. So in trusting God, I have found my HAPPY!!

So I ask you, where do you find your HAPPY???
