HAPPINESS
Happiness means different things to different people. For long, people have always seen happiness as the essence of living and have not only devised means to obtain it, but developed a machinery to measure it.
Often times we have wrongly offered and believed in some happenings or occurrences or even change as happiness.
Happiness is not achievement or promotion as we have often time believed but a state which we can actually condition our minds to. The entire job of happiness starts on our very inside and radiates on the outside. It tells in our attitude, behaviour, speech, relationship, work, etc.
Happiness is not people. Even though we cannot dispute the fact that we are happier being with certain people, friends or family members, they all cannot define happiness. What happens when they die, desert us or temporarily exit our lives?
Happiness is not material possession. Have you asked yourself why some folks who have attained great status in life in terms of wealth and property acquisition end up being depressed, bored and unhappy?
Happiness is not geographical location. Young Africans have often times abandoned their schools and jobs to travel overseas in search of 'happiness '. Some are able to acclimatise while others are left frustrated.
Happiness is a state of well being ,emotional or mental, contentment, pleasantness , triumph and intense joy.
Happiness is within us. It is a choice!
