Each of us has moments when life looks like heaven on earth and also moments when it looks like walking through hell.
Sometimes we come out strong; sometimes we break down and do not even heal in that area completely.
A lot of things are bothering people: bills, health, finance, family conflicts, and so on. It is not easy for anyone you see out there, regardless of whatever they possess or look like. These struggles have robbed many of the ability to be happy.
Deep inside the hearts of many is a longing desire for genuine and pure happiness. It's painful how many only experience happiness seasonally.
Their happy life experience is as unstable as the water in the sea; one moment it is high, flowing with momentum, and the other, it is calm and quiet.
The quest for happiness is a mass thing, and only a few eventually find the secret to being genuinely happy.
I won't lie, personally, I have times I struggle to find happiness. It's very easy for people to say “choose to be happy, happiness is free,” but it's not as simple as that.
Sometimes you will wish and try to be happy, but your effort will fall to dust. There were moments in my life when I felt like happiness was a gift given only by the Creator alone because I sought happiness in every way I could but only got it occasionally.
My thought was quite right, of course; the Maker gives people true happiness, but I was wrong to think happiness is only given to a select few.
Everyone was created with the ability to be happy, but the choice rests in our hands; if we give it room, it will come; if we shut the door, it will be away.
I can not tell you how to be happy because we don't face the same challenges, but I can tell you how I find happiness even when everything around me seems to be on fire.
And the whole thing is nothing but a decision. We can never stop going through challenges. We can not prevent bad things from happening to us; we enter new phases every day of our lives.
If you are only waiting for the time when everything will be fine; a time when all problems are gone before you become happy, you will wait until the day you die, and that won't happen.
Knowing this, every day of my life I decided that I will enjoy the life I have regardless of whatever I am passing through.
I can wake up and see everything going south and still choose to be happy at the end of the day.
Everything will pass away later, even the most terrible challenges, so why will I deprive myself of the opportunity to be happy?
Consequent on this reality, I don't care what might be happening, I will live my life, enjoy what I have, and be hopeful for the best.
