CHOOSE HAPPINESS.

I posted this at my posterous account so I decided to post it here since I think it can somehow encourage those who are lost and forgot how to seek happiness. :)


............
Happiness is always a choice. It’s always around the corner even if the world is sphere. Well, seriously, Happiness is always there for us, it is not far-fetched; all we have to do is to appreciate its presence. I have lived my life fully and even to the extent of living it without thinking the consequences I might experience as I lived it according to what I only know is right. Life has been unfair to me for the past few months. Life seemed to be cruel for me - Bitter, Odd, and painful. Yes! Painful, the exact word I must say that best describes about life for me for the past few months.  
I felt like I was drowned in deep shadows of darkness and indulged myself with weariness and loneliness. It was like happiness wasn’t something I thought to be there but, I was wrong. I was terribly wrong. Happiness was there, it was there all along. I just failed to appreciate it or maybe, I was just afraid to assume AGAIN.
Everyone is responsible for their feelings. Each one of us is responsible for what we really feel. We are the bearer of our feelings. We cannot blame others for what we are experiencing because it was us, who let things be. We let it be the way we wanted it to be in the first place so if there is anyone to be blame, it’s definitely ourselves.
Perhaps I am strongly convinced that for one to find happiness, one must learn how to appreciate the things around him and just let go of those who were gone. It’s always been a matter of choice. If you choose to be happy, be happy! But if you choose the other way around, then suffer or shall I say, let your emotions get you and drowned you for a long time.
For one to forget the past, one must not bring the past to the present. Do not live your life today by bringing back the things that hurt you. LIVE TO THE PRESENT. Nothing is more delightful than living a life with contentment. If it’s gone, it’s gone. God has an answer to that and yes, it might not be too easy to understand but someday, God will provide you the answer at the right time.
It takes a lot of courage for one to be happy again but this is all I can say, one of the best feelings in the world is feeling very happy after feeling too awful for a long time. The things that hurt you in the past will shaped you to become a better person but, always put in your minds that one must not be bitter for the awful things that happened in the past because it’s part of growing and life will never be fair unless you’re still on earth. That is the truth—IF YOU’RE STILL ON EARTH, LIFE, WILL NEVER BE FAIR. Live with that.
Though life may never be fair for us, one thing is for sure- Life is indeed beautiful. There are so many reasons to be happy, we just have to let it be and open our hearts. After all, life is not about how we were during the bad days but how we were after those days. We become someone who is strong enough to surpass all the trials and challenges in life and though it hurt a lot but in the end we will be thankful that for once, we were hurt.
If you have reached this far and you realized that maybe I was right, I encourage you to give it a second thought. My story is different from yours but if you think we are on the same boat, MOVE ON and MOVE FORWARD.
