~Happiness~

I have to say that no matter what is going on or has transpired in my life, I am literally happy. Though life brings about bad times, I still have an inner joy that cannot be shaken. Things are going to happen regardless of how careful we are and how hard we pray, it is how we deal with things after we are over the initial shock… It is ok to vent, scream, holler, cry and even be angry because those are natural human reactions that should not be suppressed. That does not mean you do not have inner joy and happiness or that you are a negative person. It just means that you have the strength to deal with each situation head-on…

Here are a few definitions of the word Happy:

1. feeling pleasure: feeling or showing pleasure, contentment, or joy
happy smiling faces

2. causing pleasure: causing or characterized by pleasure, contentment, or joy
a happy childhood

3. satisfied: feeling satisfied that something is right or has been done right
Are you happy with your performance?


If you are not happy with your life and the way things are going, do whatever it takes to get your happiness back.  I know that it is natural and normal to have moments of sadness.  Being that way enables us to appreciate our happy moments even more but I am speaking in terms of overall happiness.  Being overall happy is having joy even when you're upset or things aren't going the way we'd like.  As always, thanks for reading and until next time.
