Happiness

When can you say that you are truly happy?

People tend to equate happiness with reaching their goal, achieving what they want to achieve or just simply having a lot in life to enjoy.

Happiness to me is when I am not feeling self-doubt, depressed, hateful, worried, unsatisfied, bored, guilty, discontented, stressed, frustrated, upset, envious, jealous, annoyed... It is something that I consider unachievable (in my life of course).

Life is such a long journey with a lot of bumps and turns. I come to meet different people, each with different identity. I encountered different experiences, some are to be remembered and some are best to be forgotten. In between those experiences comes a ray of happiness. For me, it is not a destination but a journey. It is a part of the bits and pieces of my life. I said a ray of happiness because there was never a time I felt that I am truly happy.

I am a positive thinker and I believe that everything is just a state of mind. Given a situation, outcome will depend upon how I would react to it. I was always able to say I made it through the rain. But that doesn’t mean I am happy. Happiness is the absence of those unhealthy feelings that I’ve mentioned above and unfortunately one or two never leave my side.

Happiness in my own definition is SERENITY.
