It will be near impossibility to find anyone who would say no in response to the question- Do you want to be happy? Happiness, like most English dictions has a couple of meanings, but as it pertains to this brief piece, we shall have this: Happiness is the emotion of being happy. Some of its synonyms are felicity, blessedness and joy. Of a truth, everyone wants to be happy but whether everyone deserves to be happy is a question I would humbly leave to your judgment. But the question remains; how can one become happy either for a moment or continuously for as long as one exists? Do not doubt it, sure, one can be happy for as long as blood runs in one’s veins. To provide answer to this interesting question is the aim of this short discuss.
‘Joy is in you’, may be a new discovery for some persons, but that is a fact which has been proven over time and which anyone can put to test and taste the under lying truth. All you need to do is to activate it, but how? How can one activate this much sought after virtue? A song has as part of its lyrics ‘I want to be happy but I won’t to be happy till I have made you happy too’. The above assertion is the summary of the answers that exist to the question. One of the surest ways to be happy is to make others happy. Happiness is but a reward one gets for performing one’s duty of sourcing out joy for others. It is your duty to ensure that your neighbors at any time, at any place are happy. Once this role is played, trust, life is a just employer; it gives you your due pay in full and timely too. Majority of persons lack this understanding and they spend so much energy in cash, kind and otherwise in search of happiness. Truly, it takes the right key to open a door.
One more thing that is worthy of mention here is the fact that the price of happiness in other words, what it takes to make others happy (which we have established to be what translates to our own happiness), can be so little that we may be tempted to overlook or underrate them. Our daily living cannot be done in isolation as no one is an island. The way we relate to others even in the minutest of ways, matters a whole lot. When last did you send your neighbor a compliment? Do you always say about others, positive things or negative things? These little daily lifestyles which though appear insignificant, are what bring us joy because they do same to others. Making this little things as complimenting others, wearing a smiling face, showing concern to people in their trying times and their likes a life style will keep anyone happy for as long as life exist in him or her. Doing this occasionally, returns occasional joy. You can put this to test.
Remember you are too special to be unhappy. Make others joyful, enjoy your joy.
