WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
IS IT A SMILE?
It may be for some people, but for other people it is a front to hide what is really going on in their head.
Happiness is something which no-one really knows, it is a constant question of what is happiness and where do we find it. Everyone has their own interpretation of what happiness is, it may be different aspects of your life, job, relationship, hobbies, how you spend your down time and how you treat other people. Happiness is different for everyone for some it comes easy and others it is something they need to search within themselves to find, for some it has been taken away by others and now they need to regain that happiness.
Bullying is an example of how you take away someones happiness, when you choose to make fun of someone you not only takeaway there happiness, you take away the happiness of some people around them like their parents and wider family. Having a child who has been bullied is not easy I’m sure, I wouldn’t know myself because I have no kids but I can imagine having your child wake up everyday worried and scared about going to school is not nice.
Its not only Young people who get bullied its adults too, but that’s not really acknowledged these days all the focus is on young people, which is ok but we need to remember that just because your older doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Everyone deserves to have happiness in their lives, Don’t take it away from anyone.
Some people may look as if they are strong and happy but they are trying to support a lot of different things at the same time trying to deal with their own problems.
Never just assume someone is ok, The next time you go to say something bad about someone or too someone, they could already be in a very unstable place and it could just take that one comment or insult to tip them over the edge. Never judge a book by its cover!
Always be kind and help people when you can, never talk down to people or believe you are better than them, we all come from different backgrounds and all have a story to tell. so listen to the stories then you might think twice about passing judgement.
The most important person in our lives who needs to have happiness is ourselves. It may sound selfish but if we are not happy with ourselves then how are we able to spread it to other people. The only person stopping us from having a Great – Day, Month, Year or Life is YOU! Change your attitude and you will be happy.
Surround yourself with people, possessions or places in which make you happy! Why sit back and let life pass you by, live life 100 mph, do what makes you happy. Don’t be scared to try new things, don’t be scared to meet new people, be open to new experiences and embrace change don’t be afraid to let go of people and things which don’t bring you happiness. It will only do one thing which is help you grow and find out who you truly are.
Appreciate the simple things in life, also appreciate the people you have in your life, take time to listen to them and hear their stories! It’s kinda like a Vietnamese Biscuit a lot of twists and turns but will leave you feeling sweet at the end. Its the little things in life which we appreciate but we don’t acknowledge because we take them for granted. Next time you find yourself sad about something take a step back and look at your life and make a list of what you have, include in your list possessions and people.
Then just take a moment to let your list sink in and look at what truly makes you happy!!
Personally I find it best when I am sad or need to clear my head a walk with nature is the best thing because the beauty you can come across goes unnoticed everyday. A walk through the forest, in a garden it doesn’t matter anywhere outside get the fresh air through your lungs and just appreciate the outdoors.
