WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
THAT IS A QUESTION YOU HEAR ALL THE TIME.
MANY-A-TIME, YOU GET THIS ANSWER,
“HAPPINESS IS ELUSIVE”.
THE ANSWER CAN BE BEST SUMMED UP:
THAT IN SEEKING HAPPINESS FOR OTHERS,
YOU FIND IT FOR YOURSELF.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE UNHAPPY.
HAPPINESS IS A FEELING.

YOU CAN FEEL AND / OR BE UNHAPPY IN A VERY PLEASANT AND WONDERFUL ENVIRONMENT,
OR

IF YOU EVER WANT TO GIVE A GIFT,
ONE WITH IT’S VALUE NEVER DEMINISHING OR
LOSING ITS SHINE,
YET FREELY AVAILABLE FOR ALL MANKIND TO GIVE; THAT WOULD BE THE

BE THE REASON THAT LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING.
BE THE REASON THAT SOMEONE SEES HIMSELF
AS A PERSON,
AS ONE WHO MEANS SOMETHING TO SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN HIMSELF.
BE THE REASON THAT NO MATTER WHAT
THE CHALLENGES SOMEONE MAY BE GOING THROUGH, HE KEEPS GOING
AND LOOKS FORWARDTO THE NEXT DAY.
– HOPE.

GRATITUDE –
BIG WORD BUT WITH A GENTLE MEANING.
IT SIMPLY MEANS THE CONSCIOUS PRACTICE
IN THE PRESENT OF
RECOGNISING AND APPRECIATING
THE GOODNESS IN YOUR LIFE.
SIMPLE.

In your quest to achieve your goals, you could drive yourself or push the envelope to attain them.
You may forget to savour the moments of success along the way, getting there. Even with these multiple little successes that add up, you may find stress and tensions building up within you.
You may find yourself sprinting in a marathon race. It’s normal.
Take a short break. Take stock of what you’ve achieved so far, and what else needs to be done.
Remind yourself of why you are doing it for. Picture yourself at the Finish Line. Enjoy yourself.
There’s more of a story to tell about what you did to achieve it, than, after having achieved it.
