Happiness

Happiness is the state of life that everyone wants to attain. This precious commodity is equivalent to a great wealth. But it does not just happen as you wish! We make it happen, order to be happy first find out what makes you unhappy. I once experienced unhappiness when I decided to enter the seminary. This was because I needed money for the duration of staying in the seminary. I found it difficult because my parents could not afford it. I was enlivened when I found a Bible passage that says, “Ask and you shall receive.” I went to my god-parent asking for support for my seminary studies, her husband said, “Go ahead!” Later they accompanied me to the seminary of Massin. After my arrival, I immediately went to the chapel and thanked God for turning my wish to reality. Later, I decided to enter a religious congregation and now it happened. So, if you wish to be happy make a move.

That is why we are happy in the places where we are: in school, in the office or even in the field of studies. Why? It is because we are able to identify ourselves in a certain area where we wish to live. But, some aspects in life make us unhappy and desperate. Please do not criticize so much yourself at this point. Discouragement is just a drop in a bucket than the rain of blessings already given to you by our heavenly Father. Give yourself a pep-talk once you get discouraged. “I can overcome it! I must be happy!”
Let us help ourselves, do not suppress yourself too much. If you are in love, express it. As I love the Lord, I decided to serve him that is why I am here. If you choke in grief then cry, if you are angry of course you will become ugly. So, get it out of your system! Do not let your anger stay long in your mind, it will make you unhappy.

Finally, count your blessings not your troubles. Dare to share your happiness with others even with just a simple smile, with a word “Hi!” or “Hello.” Giving happiness to others is a great source of joy. If you are good to others, you are doing well to yourself.
According to Siddhartha Gautama, “Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.” St. Paul in his letter to Timothy (1 Timothy 6: 17) says, “God richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” Therefore, God wants us to be happy! He wants us to “take hold of the life that really is life.”
Finding happiness is a right choice in the right way. It is a choice that will never go wrong.
