What is happiness in your life what is happiness psychology

 

Happiness is your door steps

You have the absolute privilege to be living and I’ve always believed that it is all you have when you are young and get attention.

Here’s why I love when young people fill me with their opinions and inspire me to be the best version of myself.

One of my grandmother’s favourite questions as a small kid is the following.

“Mum, if you’re the luckiest girl in the world, why are you where you are?”

And my good replies always looked at the world and at a very different perspective from their own mother.

Yet here’s where we are now:

Also when my Nan constantly reminds me how lucky I am (she calls it lucky) and how blessed I am to have parents who cherish me more than they were parenting my siblings, I find myself feeling the same gratitude as she does.

She is always right. I learned that when my Nan was my mother and I could remember what it was like being a child and someone knew the path I would take, something tells me that she loves seeing how I have become a person and that she knows what it feels like.

Right now it feels like I’m writing this in a wholly different time frame. I’m starting to remember how much my life is about my mum and my father taking care of me and giving me a chance to have independent living where I can be happy, this is why I’m writing this, not just to be someone’s reminder of a time when my parents are no longer around, but to put my finger on what I’ve learned that somehow continues even in adulthood.

I never knew there were feelings of hope and love for me that will last until I wake up. I didn’t know that something positive and profound like that can be you and that your loyalty will last this long.

She taught me that you don’t have to be a member of the military, or a millionaire. She taught me that friendship and devotion are important and no matter what life throws at you in pursuit of happiness or happiness for anyone, she said you will find it and that everything will pass away when you die, but that you and whatever impact you have will stay.

All I know is that she is teaching me that I will be successful and that one day I’ll be someone’s reminder of having a parent who works hard enough and says I can be.

My car was broken in, my house was robbed and my car was destroyed. What I experienced, I believe, was my calling as a new mom.

I am also mindful that I’m not the happiest person alive and I am the furthest thing from finding fulfillment with happiness. But what I know now is that I am right where I am supposed to be.

My neighbours were just like me; they did not know what to think about when one kid skipped school every day. My quiet neighbor asked me who I was seeing and what school they went to.

It is as if my happy mother always had a better vantage point on the world, and even now that things have gotten better and people know what to do, I try my best not to reach out.

I now wonder if people had something negative in mind when I entered the world, what would the world be like if a beautiful and loving alien came to Earth (me)!

It is an unforgiving and difficult world and I often feel so alone when I walk through the woods alone. I begin to think that if somebody could simply say, “hello” then what can I say? I always figure out that people don’t have your best interests in mind when they say hi so it is best not to answer them on social media, when they ask for my advice, especially on gambling or when I talk about work.

It is not always about your profession or your house but simply asking for your time, for someone to tell you they love you and to know that your honesty will be rewarded every day.

You could be told you aren’t allowed to smile so that you look nice and whatever you do, you’re right.

But that is the beauty in life. Yes, I could say you’re not allowed to smile, but I believe in life you shouldn’t let anyone else’s opinion dictate how we see you.

Just saying.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be full recovered and convinced that the world is exactly as it is meant to be, but I hope I make it to an age where no one will question me.

One of my favorite songs says, "It's alright to smile, but I'm gonna be lonely and tell everybody what kind of beautiful book they're reading."
