The Secret to Happiness

My life is never happy. I wake-up in the morning, eat breakfast, take a bath and start working. I am like those persons who work at home, doing something for nothing. I don't get to talk to other people, except when times I call my friends to have dinner, but it happens rarely. If you would look at my life it's rather boring. But, how come I am still happy, despite the harsh and cruelty of people around me?

Just the other day, I received a text message saying that she just had a baby girl, and my heart leaped for joy, even though it's someone else's baby.

Sometimes even having no life in my life is still life in itself because we don't know what life can bring everyday. Even if life can be a drab, still there is happiness in what tomorrow brings. There is life around us, and God is living inside me.

What I learned for the past years that happiness can also be just in your mind. I know people who aren't happy because they are always unhappy. Their minds are filled with anger and hatred; they always grumble and think negatively. They always wanted something they will never get, just like chasing the wind. If winning the lottery can solve our problems then those who won should die happy, but they too still got problems no matter how much money they have.

I also learned in life that to be happy, make other people happy. In those days, I remember doing good to less fortunate people, and their smiles made me smile.
