Smile, Let the Whole World Wonder Why
Everybody deserves to be happy. If we do not deserve so, we defeat the purpose of living. What could be more self-fulfilling is that being able to see ourselves satisfied of whatever we have, or whatever we get through. But being happy is not just about getting all that we want and wish for. It is something that is deep inside us. Sometimes, it is even unexplainable. When we are happy, we consider ourselves being at its peak. Others call it ‘high’ and we cannot deny that.
Happiness, according to Wiki, is a mental state of being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. But it has a deeper meaning beyond the context given from the wires. It is even expressed in different ways.
Unfortunately, no one is exempted from having challenges. From time to time, obstacles do arise and we think that happiness is stolen from us. We assume to have nobody else to turn to and that everybody is against us. But, life has something new to offer, that’s why we are bombarded by many trials to challenge us and make us strong. Life has never loses its twists and turns. With these, we forget to help ourselves get up and laugh at the problems to make them become bubbles. We keep murmuring and complaining. Yet, we do not realize too early that the more we think of the things that make us sick, the dilemmas multiply.
I have found a simple and temporary solution to this --- a single smile. Yes, and when this temporary smile is practiced every time we lose hope, it becomes permanent and gradually becomes a habit. When the world comes crashing down and the people we thought we could trust have betrayed us, let us just keep on smiling and improve our face value. It would be a good resort than just let our wrinkles start so young and grow old with us. It does not cost anything but it can contribute a lot to our mentality. It can change mindsets, and the best feeling is that it can make us forget about our downfalls.
I believe happiness does not come from anything or anybody else. It is an inner motivation. If we think positive, we perhaps enliven ourselves and motivate it to fight for us. Yet, if we are thinking the other way around, no matter how many encouraging words we receive from counselors and advisers, they won’t work out right because they think that every word they say is never an inspiration and does not stimulate our being. Problems will always be problems when we let them. Staying in the corner does not help either. Let us try to get out of our comfort zones and see the world as bright as our future. No one is ever blinded by looking at the bright side of life. It is just up to us on how we handle things and situations.
Life has prepared many opportunities and chances for us, so let us not allow our problems steal and block our way from getting them. Relax. Pray. Just let things happen. We cannot solve it on our own. Let God take over and He will provide the best happiness for us more than we could ever imagine. Others see us as good exemplars of courage and strength, because we do not mind our sorrows. We can be problematic, but we can be as well enthusiastic to our problems. Let us achieve life’s best. Again, SMILE. Let the whole world wonder why.
