“You glow differently
when you are happy.”
~ Anamika Singh
Thinking of true
happiness as a glow, for me, is a good way to picture what being happy at the
core means. People often say that
pregnant women and people who are in love, glow, and those are certainly states
that reflect inner happiness.
Moments of happiness come
through doing things we enjoy, but deep happiness is more than that. Some people maintain that there is no true
happiness, but only moments of happiness pieced together. I am a believer that inner happiness is obtainable. Doing things we enjoy helps create inner
happiness, but there is something special – something more – about being happy
at our core.
We can control our
attitude, and Abraham Lincoln even said, “Most folks are as happy as they make
ups their minds to be.”
So how do we get at true
happiness? Piecing together moments of
happiness? Doing more of what we
enjoy? Following Bobby McFarrin’s
advice? Making up our mind to choose to
be happy? I would say all of the above
and sometimes none of the above. We are
responsible for our own happiness, and when we celebrate moments of happiness,
we are that much closer to experiencing the kind of deep happiness that will
make us glow differently!
Have a great week!
