The Happiness Prespective

What's life without constant ups and downs? Certainly, tough situations will come across us and we will be hit by them –that's a fact-, which may impact us and make us low-spirited. However, do you think that a situation is stronger than you? Or a situation has the ability to make you depressed and affect you negatively? Do you think that life would terminate on a single predicament? Life would -with no doubt- cease to go on if there is no action or progress. It's the power of situations that teaches us and adds experience to our credit. So that's why we should be thankful for going through tough conditions in our life.

We are the ones who can choose to control our power, how we cope and get over any situation; therefore, we mustn't let sadness control our life, we must decide to be happy, because human's power can exceed anything and any external influence. Never underestimate your power of controlling sadness. Happiness is in your own hands.

And what do we get from being downcast? Nothing but negative effects on our life! Being sad would hurt you, affect your progress in whatever you do and may as well shatter any bonds between you and the people you know. It absolutely has no perks. See how terrible it is?

The thing is how to decide to be happy? The secret is in observing things by your heart before your eyes and that's what I call: “the happy perspective.” There are over hundreds of reasons to be happy about, you just got to contemplate in that. As long as there is a roof over your head, clothes that cover your body, a home that shields you and a blanket that warms you in chilled winter days, you've to be grateful for all that you have. Other people in this world crave just a 10% of it.

Let's get into deeper details. The universe is actually yours, how can you complain and be sad when you get to hear the birds chirping, see the vibrant colors that nature offers, the pure blue sky with the white fluffy cotton candies all over it that change their shapes frequently and move along? Besides, the rich green color of leaves hanged on a long brown log with branches. These are mere examples of what you own, they are all yours, you can watch them and get amused by their sight whenever you want. So, just tell me what are you complaining for now?

What even brings more happiness and has a power that inexplicably astounds me, is the felicity that fills my heart and soul when I'm the reason behind making someone else happy, seeing the pure joy in one’s eyes and the beauty of one’s smiles. To me, this is the #1 source of happiness. The fact that it makes me ecstatic amazes me!

From now on let's all promise to see all things from the 'happy' perspective, let's all choose to be happy.
