The opportunity

I hope your holidays are going well. I always think that everything is better if we remain grateful, for anything, for being alive, for our past, for our family, for whatever. Just find something inspiring. We are creatures of habit, and happiness is a habit. Yes, it is true that happiness lies within ourselves; however, you must be able to behave accordingly. For example, if you argue and distance yourself from your family or loved ones, then your mind will fill itself with anger and frustration. If this happens, then your habit is being angry and frustrated; and you can’t expect to truly be happy this way.

What about not eating properly….?? Food is very important. The way we eat. What we eat. If your habit here lacks health, then you will feel heavy, depressed, sick. Happiness, joy, energy to live the best life. They won’t appear in your experience. So, we are all deserving of a good life, of joy, of happiness; but it is not automatic, you have to develop good habits. This means living your life accordingly. I don’t have to explain further what it means. You know what is healthy and good for your life. You know what is not healthy and good for your life. I hope.

So, always remember that being happy, having the capacity to enjoy and bring that capacity to use, is about our habits; that is, habits of self-control, of compassion, of understanding without anger and frustration. “A man is what he repeatedly does. Excellence is then a habit,” said one famous Greek philosopher. I live that, because I aim to journey this life in happiness. This should be your aim as well, because life is the opportunity for us to become better and even make the life of others better by our example. Thanks for reading.
