Sometimes in life, we get caught up in life's twists and turns and we forget to be happy in the moment we're in.
During stormy times and peaceful times, pain and pleasure, struggle and victory, we need to learn how to be happy.
You may ask, 'But how do I remain happy during difficult times?'
Well you just have to remember how temporary life is. We're here today and gone tomorrow.
Our loved ones, our aquaintances, even the people we don't necessarily get along well with; we all have the same fate. One day we will each be a memory, perhaps even just a picture. Don't take each moment for granted.
While you're here, laugh as much as you can, experience life as best as you can. Be kind to others and make whatever difference you can.
Don't forget to love your family, play with your kids, with your pets. Make time to spend with your spouse, with your family; your sibblings, your parents, your friends.
I'm not saying you should live a frivolous life, you must be smart no matter what you're doing but also take time to enjoy your life. Take care of yourself each day. Go sip some tea while enjoying the sunset, smell the roses, fall asleep to the sound of rain and don't allow yourslef to get caught up in yhose drowning thoughts or deafening voices.
Some of us need a Philippians 4:6-7 day; a day when we're not anxious about anything.
You may say, 'But I don't have anyone to make me happy' or 'Nothing good has happened to make me happy'.
Do you really think that God would place something as important as your happiness in someone else's hands?
No he has placed it in your hands, you are literally the only person on Earth that can make you happy
If someone else does something that made you happy, it was still you that allowed yourself to be happy.
Remember; happiness is in the heart, not the circumstance.
Some people say they'd only be happy 'if' this happens or 'if' that doesn't happen but people who think like that are rarely ever happy. Maybe it's because they don't understand this concept.
If you keep waiting for something to make you happy, you'll be waiting forever so do yourself a favor and be happy right now.
