Everybody wants
to be happy and indeed there are so many reasons for one to feel joy. However,
as ironic as it may seem, happiness seems to be so elusive for many. There are
days when it is just so tempting to wallow in self pity and despair. Various factors
can cause unhappiness – the situations we are in, the people in our lives etc.
Negativity (negative
thoughts, negative people) is so real that it can fill our daily lives. If one
is not careful, you may find yourself being swallowed away by these dark and destructive
emotions.
But to be wise
and happy, you should not let all the negativity put you down. To be really happy,
we should cultivate the happiness inside ourselves, not on external and material
things.
One can also
find it easy to stay happy by thinking of the people who are dear to us, just
like what this wonderful poem that I found says:
“Think of Those Who Love You"
If someone should hurt you
and say a thing unkind...
Remember what I write to you
and keep these thoughts in mind.
For everyone who makes you cry,
there are three to make you smile...
And a smile will last a long, long time,
but a tear just a little while.
Don't let someone who hates the world
cause you to hate it too...
Behind the clouds is a Golden sun,
and a sky that's full of Blue.
If someone said a thing that's cruel,
don't let it get to you...
Your achievements are greatly numbered
and your faults are very few.
So if a certain person should act a
certain way,
Think of those who love you
and don't let it spoil your day!




Amen to that; I've had to move to a different country to escape toxic people that consumed me (depression, health issues, etc), and still, some still put me in that ugly spot where I have to explain myself till exhaustion. I guess people don't change, it's one's attitude towards facing them that does.
