Happiness :: What We Make Of Our Lives...or Don't.

Sometimes I feel that I am destined to be sad, to be alone all the time. I will never had a chance to get someone to cheer me up, to be by my side and to keep me calm. Every time something bad happened, it always happened after the good and happy time occurred. Why I have only short time to feel what it is fun and joy? Am I too bad to be happy like others? Am I not even worth to have a little moment of happiness?

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose
(Helen Keller).

The truth is happiness come from within not from without. Sometime we can obtain happiness by giving not just by in having or in getting. Sharing is caring, caring is making you happy. Other than that, as a Muslim the way to get happy is by getting close to The Lord of Creation, Allah The Almighty. But not just every time you are in sad and unhappy that you're coming closer to Him. Every time and everywhere, you have to remember Him all the time.

Forgive everyone for everything. You must learn to give forgiveness to everyone because if not we are still hold on to anger and resentment. That's will never end. Giving forgiveness doesn't mean that we are weak. But by forgiving someone we give a great gift to ourselves~ the gift of happiness.

Happiness is not something anyone else can give us... or take away from us. Whatever our circumstances, we can create a joyful life... or a miserable life. It is up to us.
