HAPPINESS IS HERE
AND NOW
“Happiness is
here and now. I have dropped my worries. Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. No longer in a hurry. Happiness is
here and now. I have dropped my worries. Somewhere to go. Something to do. But
not in a hurry.” This song’s called “Happiness is here and now” written by
Thich Nhat Hanh from Plum Village. My mom has me listen to this song many
times. She said this song is used to teach the Buddhist about how to live
happily with what they have and the true happiness in man’s life.
There are so
many ways to define happiness. Obviously, each person has different opinion in
happiness. One’s happiness can even means differently from time to time. In my opinion, finding happiness is like
finding myself - I don't find happiness, I make happiness. I choose to make it
happened instead of waiting for it. Discovering who I am, who I want to be and
do what brings the most meaningful pleasure to my life. Sometimes, my happiness
is when I can be me- Freedom means a lot to teenager like me but when time’s
passed, I realized that it wasn’t real and didn’t last very long. I also
believe that happiness included the inner state of well being like thoughts,
wisdom, intelligence, hope, common sense, emotions, and health - when your mind
is thinking through your heart, and when
what you think, what you say, and what you do make a perfect sense. The most
important thing is to realize that true happiness lies within us. Waste no time
and effort searching for peace, contentment and joy in the world outside.
Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting and of course,
money can't buy us happiness. On the other hand, happiness only comes from
giving, share, smile, hug, and help just like the quote-“Happiness is a perfume
you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.” Don’t ever
worry if you, sometimes, lose your happiness because happiness is the only
factor of life. Even if happiness fails, existence remains. What’s more
important is knowing how to find happiness in every circumstance, live with the
present and make every moment a beautiful memory.
Happiness is
the whole meaning and the purpose of life, the man's greatest aim in life. They
say “a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but
rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.” What we’ve got to do is start
searching for that perfect harmony. Try to appreciate everything that comes into our life. Always
think that “The time to be happy is now, the place to be happy is here and more
importantly, and the way to be happy is to make the others so.” Now, even if we
didn’t live in the fairy tales, we can still have a beautiful soul and live
happily ever after.
