SEARCHING HAPPINESS

You can choose to be happy. Happiness is not a reaction, it is not even an action that requires a reaction. It is a state of being. We look at achievements to be made, resolutions to be fulfilled, turning dreams into reality, all in the perpetual search of happiness. And as the year draws to a close, we start balancing the glories with the falls, forgetting to reflect on moments that have made memories.

I believe that happiness is gratitude, a show of appreciation.
It is a little curve that makes things straight.
The sugar after salt, the laughter after tears.
The silver lining of a cloud.
The sunshine, manna, rain.

For every 10 things that go wrong, we have 100 things to be thankful for. Make a list of all the things that have given a smile to your face this year. Simple things, everyday routines, people you love…..and you will have cupped happiness in your hands.
