Sometimes things happen when you least expect it. Life brings along its paths many experiences and opportunities yet it is your decision whether to grab the opportunity, make something of it and live the experience, or just simply go with the flow. If you spend your days pondering the consequences of your possible actions and do nothing, debating the pros and the cons, then the one thing you can be sure is this: nothing will get done. Life will go on as it does and pass by. To be happy, as in many other things, depend on your own actions.
This morning I listened to a youtube video on Happiness 101 by Harvard Professor Tal Ben-Shahar. I loved it.
Many of the things he said are things I’ve been pondering about in life as I am sure have many people. What is it that makes one happy? Is it money? Is it wealth? The answer isn’t.
Happiness depends mainly on your own actions. To be happy, requires participation and devotion. You are responsible for your own happiness. No one else is.
Remind yourself of how blessed you are. Remind yourself of the things that you are grateful for in life. Think positive. Exercise. Take time to be with your family and the people you love. Allow yourself to be human. No one is perfect.
Sleep.
Simple isn’t it? Easier said than done. Good night my dear readers. Be happy.
Very nice and simple. Too bad it can’t always work out that easily.
