I want to be happy, we all want to be happy obviously....however, I have come to realize that happiness doesn't always come as expected, it comes and goes depending on the moment. There are good days when we feel happy and content, while there are days when you just feel awful, tired and disappointed. I bet sometimes we feel like we are being punished for something we did in the past but that is not always the case.

Life is just like that sometimes, we work, we run, we hope, we pray, we hustle all to finding happiness or something related.....maybe fulfillment? But no matter how hard we do all these, we only achieve a little percent of happiness or fulfillment, which can be frustrating at times.

Now the catch is, you can find a way to create that happiness, instead of chasing for the bigger picture....you can find happiness in those little things things, creating the kind of atmosphere you want. Life is not a bed of roses, even though I wish it was but we need to find a way to live, love and be happy. Get those negative thoughts off your head and embrace the positive one...hard sometimes but worth it.

Try to be your best each day, be determined to be happy. Ah, I bet you think it is very easy to be happy...not in this time and season to be honest. We are in a period where things are getting harder, people getting frustrated, disappointed, et al. So it is not easy, it takes effort, continuous affirmation to ease you off those unwanted feelings. It might not make them disappear at once but you are on the road to finding it.

We can’t control the world. We can only (barely) control our own reactions to it. Happiness is largely a choice, not a right or entitlement. – David C. Hill
