Most often, happiness doesn’t announce its presence with loud footsteps, like someone very excited running towards you. Instead, it sneaks in softly and unobtrusively, like sunshine coming through partially opened curtains. You can find it in a warm cup of tea on a chilly, early morning, in a burst of laughter shared with someone, and in the smell of a rain-soaked earth.
For some, happiness lives in the pause we take before we respond. For others, it might be the joy of returning home after a long, hectic day.
Happiness can be like taking a deep breath in order to remind yourself that you are still alive. It may be the familiar sounds of a melodious song or that momentary feeling of soothing relaxation when you accomplish something without feeling any guilt.
Sometimes happiness can hide itself in the banalities of life. It can take the form of a fancy dinner with your loving partner. Or, it can be in the form of a plate of fruits your mother served on a sunny winter afternoon.
Who can limit the pathways of happiness when you’re the maestro of your joy?
Who can set you free from the restrictions of an unattainable “complete & perfect happiness”
No one but you!
Life is an endless string of ups & downs, an incessant journey to find balance in the mayhem!
Often, the only relief you may find is in discovering joy in the mundane, like finding gold in your own backyard.
The serenity of weaving a life with these placid moments can fill one’s heart with everlasting satisfaction.
And that might be the real meaning of happiness – finding your unique reason to stay happy and content.
Having big ambitions and dreams is what excites us about our lives, but small & simple everyday moments allow us to live our lives. The ability to surrender to these flecks of happiness allows us to experience life to its fullest.
