The Little Thing Called "Happiness."

This blog entry is dedicated to everyone out there who is searching for "happiness"...

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.  The way it actually works is the reverse.  You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."  

~Margaret Young

I hope you know that you are never alone, and that someone out there
loves you more than you could ever know...

It is said that people are sent to be in our world to teach us life lessons. "You don't meet the people you want to meet. Instead, you meed the ones you need to meet so that you can change, but only for the better. The catch here is... you might not see it, yet." Each and every one of them comes with a different purpose. Some bring you the joy beyond compare, and some bring you the tears you never thought you would have shed...


Things happen unexpectedly most of the time, people might come and go, but memories stay with us. Keeping them or forgetting them is our choice to make. I personally do believe that everything happens for a reason, that everything has its own purpose(s), and what is meant to be will eventually finds its way to be... That's why I tend to keep and remember most of what I have, memories wise.


To me, good memories are, of course, worth keeping and treasuring. They need to be stored at a safe place in our hearts, minds, and brains so that whenever we need them, we would know exactly where to find what we are looking for to make everything better. Good memories are and should really stay with us forever, I'm sure that's something most of us can agree on.


As bad as it sounds, bad memories, tears, and broken hearts are not just something that happen for no reasons. They are created and put into our lives to make us stronger. They teach us the lessons no one or nothing else ever could. If we never fall, how can we stand up taller. If we don't face our own weak moments, how do we know when our strong times are and what we are capable of? Our hearts break so we know what it takes to be truly happy... "The heart has the special ability to heal all wounds by itself. Through time, even without us doing anything to try to make it better, our hearts, miraculously beats and feels like normal, again..." - a very closed friend of mine once said.

I don't know about you, but I do know for a fact that people come into my life for for many reasons, which help me greatly in defining who I am and who I want to be. Some stay and help me move on, but some move on so that I can stay. The question is... "How do I know who will stay and who will not?" 


I have come to realized that I no longer need to look for the answer for that question, simply because that's what makes up what's called "life..." Life is tough. Life is confusing. However, life is, at the same time, great, wonderful, and worth living to the fullest. By living it, eventually we will find that very thing called "happiness..." "Life can only be as happy or sad as we make it," so why go on and live a sad life while we have all the rights to make our own choices?


I got this line from one of my previous blog entries, it's been said a while back, but never felt more right than now:


"Each of us has a heart full of blood and love... so can we put it to use? Love, starting from giving ourselves, is the only things we can give out freely... then why don't we?"


Live. Love. Laugh. I'm sure you have heard that many many times before. Ultimately, I hope you will find the inner peace, the calm, the love, and of course, the "little thing called happiness" you have been looking for.


.Just gotta remember to keep Smiling. :)

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."
