How You Define Hapiness

Is it a matter of getting what you want?
Or may be..
How you feel about what you have?

Like me, to cheer myself I would go shopping and buy things that I like.
So what are some strategies that make you happy? For some of it might be just the smell of an apple pie in the oven , or the taste of it in your mouth!
Others might look to an accomplishment to make them happy.
For an author perhaps it is finally finishing a book, for a mountain climber it may be reaching the peak, and for a bird watcher see that special bird he/she has been watching for.
Still others may find happiness in the world of nature, a spectacular sunset, a beautiful bird, the calming effect of the ocean or a lake.
If we do not take responsibility for our own happiness no one else will. If we are not happy, our relationships will not be satisfying and our other priorities will suffer.
So really knowing what makes you happy is a critical issue. It affects your whole life.

I have lots of reasons and things that make me happy. Whenever I feel sad.. ya I do cry to let it out, then I will do something that makes me happy. So as I shared before in my previous entry, life is about choices. Yo can choose to BE HAPPY.

As a muslim this what we call as "BERSYUKUR' :)

Walau kita rasa susah dalam sesuatu situasi, jangan terlalu lama mengikut persaan sedih. Bila kita sedih, kita boleh menjadi seorang yang menyalahkan orang sekeliling atau situasi itu sendiri. Ingatlah yang kita tak mugkin sentiasa bahagia, pasti ada duka, kerana itu adalah lumrah hidup, juga Dugaaan dari Yang ESA.

Jika kita bijak mengawal sesuatu situasi sedih, maka kita telah menjadi seorang yang HEBAT. DA.. SHA IGNIN JADI ORANG YANG HEBAT!!!!!

WHEN LIFE SHOWS YOU HUNDREDS REASONS TO CRY, SHOW LIFE THAT YOU HAVE THOUSANDS REASON TO SMILE.

May be some people will say ya it's looks easy when you have a good life..if me i will say what make you think my life is easy?

Setuju??

Last but not least.. for those who feel down.. SMILE DARLING...
