I will definitely do anything just to be happy. And why not?  After all I believe that happiness is life’s ultimate goal. It’s the mere reason of our existence. It’s something that we all wanted, something we have always longed for.

            Some people would do anything to have so much money because by being filthy rich they thought they would be happy. Some others will seek fame or power because by having so, they thought they will be happy. Others would finds peace with their faith and religion, and being at peace, they are happy. A number of people find happiness in love.

            So there, we may not know it, but we tend to pursue things in life because we thought it would make us happy. Even drug addicts, though in just a short time, gets high and then they are on cloud nine. I guess its happiness that is so addictive.

Euphoria, geeks do say, is just a surge of certain biochemicals in the brain, a reaction to something we do like, or things that makes us in high spirits. Its all in the brain, its all about our concept of happiness, because after all, we do have different views of what really makes us happy.

            Life is so full of complications. At times, I thought, happiness can never be mine. But I have found a way to be happy. By being contented, by not asking for more and actually appreciating what every blessing I have. By this, I find joy in almost anything, especially in little things.

            I smile when I see little children laughing, reminds me so much of my happy childhood. When I feel lonely at night, I would go out and admire the blanket of stars, or the moonlight, or wait for some falling stars. What a jubilation it is when you wish on a falling star! Even if things would go out of hand at times, I’ll deal with it with all my might and then laugh at it with all my heart, as if it was one of life’s jokes on me. I always look for funny things and I hate silence. When I’m with people I tend to crack jokes, even to the point of being silly, but it’s just fine with me, at least I am happy, and so are the people around me.

            So have you seen a falling star lately? Are you tired of life’s struggles? Why don’t you go out, even for awhile, and smell the flowers, or watch the rain, or see the sunset. There are just too many beautiful things around us. All we need to do is to pay attention, leave our worries behind for a little while, and enjoy God’s creations. I’m quite sure it will calm your spirit, make you a bit delighted.  After all, these beautiful things might not be around anymore tomorrow.
