Happiness and Ourselves

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” -Albert Einstein

Where does happiness come from?

There are many ways that everyone can achieve their own happiness, the definition of "happiness" is not the same for everyone. They have their respective indicators, which are tailored to the wishes and goals to be achieved. The pursuit of happiness is a lifelong endeavor and everyone strives to be happy at some point in their life. Likewise, not everyone is happy despite being rich and not everyone is sad when they have nothing. If we want to know how to be happy, we need to emphasize that happiness comes from ourselves.

Maybe we have asked how someone can feel happy continuously, smile, always get what they want, have a good life partner, a perfect family, and it seems like the burden of life is reluctant to say hello. That's all we see from the outside profile of someone's current goodness, but we never know how they struggled before to get it all. The most important thing is never to compare the meaning of happiness that we have with the standards of other people's happiness.

Begin to determine what our happiness means now, our purpose in life. Because happiness can be achieved if we have a goal. Starting from the heart, allowing the heart to feel happy for the little things we get. Life is hard, problems that come and go, but trying to always smile when you wake up in the morning, it turns out that God still provides space for us to breathe the fresh air of the universe. Life is not about how to solve problems, but more about how to deal with these realities every day.

Be grateful for what we have today, the morning that we can still meet, the food that gives energy for activities, and also the loved ones who are beside us. Life problems are definitely there, but don't let our happiness disappear just because we are busy with every problem that greets us. Being immersed in sadness only weakens ourselves and prevents us from feeling the true meaning of happiness. Distract it by doing productive and positive things so that there is no room left in your heart to feel sadness.

Happiness about a life goal that we want to have, a good partner maybe. It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that we need to be optimistic that one day we will get it and when it comes we will feel very extraordinary. Don't ever give up on it, keep trying and praying. Believing that God is very fair, there is a time that He has prepared which we do not know for us to get that happiness. Never give up on pursuing it, even if the road that must be taken is full of obstacles.

Responsible to ourselves and not others, we will find the will to grow. Trying to be a better person, how should we start. But where if we can't be honest with ourselves about what to do when things go wrong in our lives? How wonderful it is to live by imagining all these ways could be better and then beating yourself up for not making it happen. There's no point in focusing on one life mistake we've made, corrected and kept moving.

Life isn't just about yourself either. What have we done for other people? There are other people who also have problems in their life. Never always ask what they have given us. But ask the opposite, what have we done for others? When we expect good deeds, we also have to start doing them to others first. Always try to do your best. What we plant now, we will reap later. What we do today will have an impact in the future. Something we do to other people is tantamount to treating ourselves. Basically, life is just a rotating event or event. Determine the point of your circle now![]
