Happiness is a very big tree that has plenty of branches that reach out to many areas and fields. It is one of those things that bring about feelings of joy and makes you feel like you are on top of the world.
Happiness also brings about this amazing positive energy that does not only benefit you and puts you in a better place, but also helps others around you feel more relaxed and happy. Imagine how drawing a smile on your face could change things and environments around. Visualize yourself sitting in a transit train and smiling to a baby sitting in a baby stroller. More times than not, the baby will smile back and feel that positive energy being transferred to him.
Here are 3 life changing truths about happiness:
1. Happiness Yields More Happiness
Do you know what momentum is? Momentum is a physics concept and according to thefreedictionary.com, momentum is the “force or speed of movement.” Do you know that this also could apply to happiness and could be thought of in those terms? When you keep thinking and acting positively, a happiness momentum is created. Once that is going for you, it is really amazing how it becomes normal and could be hard to break this happiness circle.
Do not be afraid of being happy. Focus on the things that work for you and not the things that need changing all the time. Remember to think of the blessings rather than the shortcomings, because even though you might not notice it, you are blessed.
2. Happiness Is Always Achievable
Happiness is always achievable. We all know that, but sometimes it feels like we will never attain happiness because our lives are going so bad and it seems like we will never get out of this trap. However, do not give up and never feel like happiness is not achievable.
Even though we might spend a long time trying to dig out of our hole known as the past, do not delay happiness any further. Make sure you go forward and start working on feeling happy and living a life without any pressure as soon as you can. Quit that tenseness that only gets you to a worse place and never feel like happiness is something far away and not possible. Focus on your present moment and think and dream of ways to make such moments happier and more productive.
3. It Is Your Choice To Be Happy
There are various things in life that we do not necessarily have control over, but happiness is not one of them. Do you not have a choice of where to put your attention; where to dedicate your efforts and what to focus on? You can choose to feed yourself and grow on stories that make you feel afraid and distressed, but you can also think and focus your attention to things that occur in the present and leave the past behind.
Overall, happiness is a truth that just endows a lot of amazing feelings and is something we all seek in this life that is full of challenges and discomfort. It is our job to search for the truth and emerge from all the different situations victorious and feed ourselves happiness the whole time.
