Happiness is something we all want as humans. Whether you're a child, teenager or an adult, you want to be happy. We all want to be happy in one area of our life or the other, be it at work, at school, in our homes, anywhere we just want to be happy. But now, let's ask ourselves this, that happiness that we want, is it something that we have to find or something that we have to create ourselves?
I honestly think it can be both, but we should not sit and wait for it to given to us like a gift, sometimes we should make it ourselves. There are people that believe that to be happy, they have to marry, have kids, travel the world and because of this they keep chasing happiness like it's something that is to be found.
I have actually come to learn that happiness comes from the little things. Sometimes I'll cook a nice meal and when my family enjoys it, I'm always happy. My kids do not like eating same soup for a long time, so when I cook a fresh soup which I have not cooked in a long time and they enjoy it, I'm always very happy.
Happiness does not always have to be big, it does not always have to come from the big things, it can be made from the little things we have. Happiness can come from choosing to forgive, choosing to laugh, choosing to be grateful, for me listening to good music makes me happy. These are the little ways we can make happiness for ourselves.
Ofcourse life get hard sometimes. There are days when I feel tired or even sad, I try to remind myself that it's definitely okay to feel that way. I try to focus on some good things, even if it's just a minute of rest or listening to music that brightens my mood.
So back to the question, is happiness found or made? It can be both. Sometimes life gives us joy when we don't expect, but other times we create that joy ourselves. Happiness is not something we wait for, it’s something we live every day in our small choices and simple moments.
So I'll ask you, do you find happiness or you make it in the simple and small ways you know how to?
