I got off the bus and started walking. Should I wait for the tram should I not? I walked one stop went in to 7/11, got a drink and then decided to wait the remaining 5 minutes for the tram. I looked up at the sky, I could see a few stars. For one second it felt like i was somewhere else. There I was sitting alone, in the middle of the night somewhere in Melboure. Blending in with the rest of the people.
But I didn't feel lonely..
The stars reminded me of being a teenager, and the many walks I took late at night by my self. Looking at all the starts and thinking about the meaning of life.
Now I'm doing the same thing, just in a different setting.
I started to smile a little bit, thinking about my younger naive self.
Suddenly I thought, am I happy? Do I know when Im happy? Or is being happy just not being unhappy?
Happiness for me is a state of mind. It is something I create and something I chose to be. Actions by others can make you happy or unhappy. That is if you chose to be affected by it. Relationships can create happiness, with your family, friends and lovers.
The past is something I can now look back at and smile, remember it for what is was. Not glorify it, not ignore it, just accept it. The future looks bright but I will not strees. The universe will lead me to where Im ment to be. It is the now that matters.
And the now is pretty good. I feel positive and stronger than I have in a long time. I chose to be happy.
I guess I cannot say where the source of happiness comes from, what it really means and how to get there. And not really anyone can.
Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.
‘All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.’ ~Blaise Pascal
There is no room for negativity around me.If you stand up for yourself, accept nothing less than what your worth, smile at things that makes you sad...than I believe you have found what its called happiness. Being you with no restrictions.
And if you lose it, just remember who you are and you will find your way back again.
Power of attraction...what you think you will attract, so start thinking positive thoughts!
