When I Know If Happiness Doesn’t Long Lasting

How I find the truth about being happy all the time

We often heard that happiness is created in our mind, not from outside. We take control of our feeling. So when someone doesn’t look happy and they often tell us if she/he is not in a happy condition, we will say, “You should move up. Happiness comes from within, not from others. You should be happy without waiting for your achievements or success comes. Failure is a sign to fight more. Be happy and keep smile.”

As far as I concerned that happiness should be easy to be created. We put a wide smile on our face, blinking happily to others, then surrounding ourselves with the gratitude to God. Less happiness, too much complaint means we are lack of thanking to God.

Then, I grow older. I enter to my 20-something life. Becoming a company worker, joining some communities, carrying some responsibilities on my shoulder led me to the new understanding. Even I have known as a cheerful girl, but there are many times I don’t feel happy. Sometimes I feel difficult to get along in the new situation. I put the bravery mask and sit silently until I know some new friend will be comfortable to chat with me.

Do you Have a Happy Life?

Every question that comes to me like this will give an impulse to say, “Yes.” But I can say yes immediately when I am in a good mood. How can I be happy when my coworker backstab me? How can I smile when someone tells me many lies and draw me like a fool? So there are some occasions which I won’t say I’m happy, however, I can’t mention my sadness or rage to untrustworthy person.

In my opinion, it is better to ask, “How’s life?” instead of asking “Are you happy?”

Happiness is a momentary feeling. Even we do something that we like or enjoying a peaceful life with our lovely people sometimes there is a hidden hollow wait to explode. We try to be happy all the time while forgetting if it is impossible to not angry with someone’s fault. We want to be an angel who can apologize easily and giving the second chance for them. Although it can tear us inside slowly but sure.

Embracing Bad Moment As The Mark of Life

I am not pessimistic. Happiness source can be found not only from wealth, money or social status. Happiness could be shown from how we constantly embracing our weakness and bad moments. We are honest to say, “I’m not happy right now, I need to talk, I need a hug.” Today we can be happy, but tomorrow doesn’t have a guarantee to do the same. Today we are sad but believe that joy is everywhere.

Happiness maybe not lasting long. We live our life with so much consciousness. Don’t let ourselves float in this world without knowing what we want. There is the time to win, there is the time we lose, and it’s okay because we are living as the imperfect human being.
