Happiness

"We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are

different and yet the same."-Anne Frank

I spent most of my day, today in bed, being sick as a dog. When I get sick, I lose hope; hope that everything will be all right. Every little bad thing that ever happened to me flows back to my mind faster than water flowing out of a fountain. I lose my essence, I lose who I am because everything did not go as I had previously planned it. I just thought to myself, "Why me, God?. Why me? What did I do wrong in my life, to deserve this? Why are you punishing me like this?" Then as if it was a sign from God, this little glimmer of light just appeared through the blinds of my window, drawing a long straight line on my bare wall. I looked through my window and the sky was covered with clouds; clouds gray as gray could get and through those clouds, lo and behold, I saw a glimpse of the sun. Ace of Base came straight to mind as I got up and pulled up my blinds. I found myself singing as loudly as I could while making my bed. I found myself shuffling my feet to the beat in my heart while I gathered my room up. I found myself smiling while trying to catch a rerun of Friends. That's when I realised that God has given me another chance to change my outlook today. For the life of me, I couldn't remember why I was so hopeless a few moments ago. I couldn't gather all the negative thoughts in my head because there were none. I felt cheery, bright and loving; my cold had suddenly disappeared.

God works in mysterious ways and he taught me so many valuable lessons today. I learnt that nothing can bring you down when you have faith; that you make your own happiness and that your past does not define who you are today. I've made a lot mistakes in my life and I've regretted it; but now I see that instead of regretting it happened, I should be glad because I get to learn from my mistakes. As I sat on my bed, watching the sun go down this evening, I felt this pure sense of serenity, that everything would be allright. Now, nothing and no one can take away my faith.

Belief.

"Believe and act as if it was impossible to fail."

Charles F. Kettering

I believe in the color blue. I believe in its power to calm me down. I believe that white lies are the same as regular lies. I believe that life is ours for the taking and that we have to enjoy every single bit of it, the good and the bad. I believe in "carpe diem". I believe in saying out loud what you hold inside. I believe that moments should not wasted because we never get another chance to live it again. I believe that laughing is the best remedy to any kind of aches. I believe in holding on when everything is falling apart. I believe in kissing- kissing a lot. I believe that ice cream and chocolate is the answer to my heartaches. I believe that happiness comes from within. I believe that happy people are the prettiest people, no matter what shape or size. I believe that candy will always remind me of my childhood. I believe in God that cares about me and who watches over me. I believe in honesty and communication. I believe in the power of love. I believe in true friendships. I believe in myself. And I still believe in mankind's goodness even though we've been proven wrong time and time again. What do you believe in?
