VIRTUE SERIES: HAPPINESS
Your happiness is one thing that life will always try to take from you. NEVER FORGET that it belongs to you and that you deserve it. NEVER SURRENDER IT to life situations, because the moment you do, you give life the chance to drag you through its gutters.
Happiness might be less prevalent these days, but this does not mean that it is hard to find. Truly, a joy that would last is not built on material things, life circumstances, or other revocable/perishable things. Lasting Joy is built on a personal decision to be at peace with one's self at all times, and no matter what. It is anchored on this rigid decision. Happiness is supposed to be a decision and not a reaction to external factors. I would say at this point that we should conceive for ourselves a healthy definition of happiness. Delight can come in many different shades. It could be as a result of a long-awaited opportunity or a fulfilled desire. Moreover, happiness being a state of mind, should be founded on a more solid ground than these. As long as this makes sense to you, as long as you can try to imbibe this, you are already in the process of building a good life for yourself. A good life is not achieved once and for all. In a very practical and realistic sense, a good life is something you build upon every time. It is something you have to maintain, because, as it is, many factors in life are constantly suggesting otherwise. Making the wise decision to enjoy a good life, is how to start building one.
