Happy today, happy tomorrow, happy forever.
November 06, 2015That's actually a phrase from THG's trilogy, but I slightly change the word 'Panem' to 'happy'.
Have you ever thought of being happy every day? Or do you have a goal, that if you achieve a certain target you'll be happy? Some people have their happy times set and fixed, for example; people waited for the weekends where they will be free from work or school. Some people, enjoy whatever they're doing that they're continuously happy throughout the weekdays. What happiness means to you?
What are your thoughts about this? It occurs to me this question when I watched Paper Towns a few weeks back when Margo asked Q;
M: What are your plans? You said you have plans
Q: Well I'm graduating this fall, get in to med school and be a doctor. Then maybe get married and have kids by I'm thirty.
M: And then you'll be happy?
Q: What?
M: When you're thirty? In twelve years, when you have kids, a career, then you'll be happy. Is that what you're actually saying?
Q: Umm yeah I guess. yeah
M: Isn't there anything that could make you happy now? It's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
Wow, that's something. Then I realise, I've always anticipate big things, big events, expecting that I'll be happy as soon as I've achieved or reached that, but did I treasure the little things along the way? I didn't realise that I force myself to hold on and suffer by saying;
"It's okay, hang on little bit more, the holidays are near,"
"The weekends are here, how exciting!"
But then it arrives, I admit that I'm happy what I've been waiting or anticipating is actually here, but the joy doesn't last. As soon as the holidays/weekends over, I'm back to suffering and misery. What a way to live your life. So slow down for a while, and take a look around. There's always something to cherish and be glad about your life around you on a daily basis. Try to be happy doing the 'little' things instead of just waiting for the 'big' things. Not that I'm saying you shouldn't anticipate big things, it's always healthy to pamper yourself once in a while.
So let's be happy. Cheers to many more happy days!
