Happiness has no shape, no color, and no weight. It can’t be seen and touched. So happiness is always considered as a mysterious thing. Even people think it is hard to posses. To tell the truth, happiness just depends on which view you perspective.
Generally speaking, the ones who weep for the past or fear for the future are not the real happy people. In my opinion, there are no secrets on happiness. Happiness is a simple thing. It means living in the now. That is to say, we are happy if we keep our focus on the present moment. Happiness is willing to follow you as long as you understand how to appreciate all that you have now.
Happiness does not belong to the people who weep for the past. Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that it may still cause pain. What happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. That is like you shed tears when you missed the sun. Then you also miss the stars. You can not watch the shining stars with hands covered your eyes. As well as you can not feel the happiness in the present with heart open to the past. But the people who know the meaning of happiness will remind themselves to remember to enjoy watching instead of missing the sun . Everyone desires to be a happy people. Why not hold on the memory only allow the damage to continue into the present.
Happiness not belongs to the people who fear for the future. Nobody can feel happy to look into the future with eyes of fear. What’s more, people will lose ample happiness for concerned about future. People often do not cherish what they already have but chase for what they can not get. That is like someone mesmerized in imagine being a superstar in some day while reluctant to satisfy with being an excellent student now. In fact, a happy people is who has proper aim but enjoy his actual situation. Many of us, however, are ignorant of the truth.
The real happy people is one who is living in the now and enjoying what they have. They cherish and appreciate every moment. They are sensible enough to get fun from daily life. They feel happy because today they solve a problem, not because yesterday they won praise.
After all, past is changeless and future is yet to come. Why not enjoy the present and appreciate what you have to be a happy people?
