As I celebrate Christmas this year, I'm asking myself a question, just like every year and you are the one who gets the pleasure of knowing about it. This question may have also come atleast once in your mind but never really cared about it much in this hectic life.
If festivals are the time for spreading HAPPINESS all around, then why not have the festivals go on all year round. This is the thought that triggered the Question.
Here it goes – Why can't HAPPINESS become a habit?
HAPPINESS can come from a BEAUTIFUL scenery, a EXCELLENT work of art, a WONDERFUL thought, an AMAZING act of NATURE...
Really, if u want to be happy, there will always be a million ways...
No matter where you are...the Sun will always SHINE and make every thing in your life BRIGHT.
The Stars will always TWINKLE from far far away to remind you that even in the extreme darkness of space, there are dots of LIGHT you will always choose to see and point to...and wish upon one of them to make you HAPPY.
Like the Stars, there is so much HOPE that we can have a countless reasons to SMILE, the choice is ours, which reason to choose at each moment.
Every single moment of HAPPINESS is much more than a SMILE, it's a million atoms SMILING at each other to transfer the most BEAUTIFUL feeling one can imagine.
Have you ever thought of the people who work for us every day?
They too CELEBRATE, maybe with much more HAPPINESS but with much less in their hands.
A dad driving your car..
A mom washing your dishes..
A son repairing your sewer..
A daughter cleaning your house..
A brother picking your garbage..
A sister serving as your waitress..
They are just like us, the only difference being that they have much simpler reasons to be HAPPY.
Just THINK about them and the least we can do for them is to share a SMILE with them whenever we see them.
As they say - Random acts of KINDNESS, one at a time, every time!
Ever thought what made us HAPPY when we were small children?
A pencil with an eraser attached on top..
A soft toy which was always smiling..
A candy which was sweeter than any other thing..
A pat on our back from our teacher..
A smile from our childhood friend..
A lovely hug from our parents..
What do all these mean to us today?
Well we'll say, we've grown up to care less about these small things. But then, no one ever asked us to make it harder to be HAPPY.
One of the most BEAUTIFUL questions I've ever been asked by someone is -
"Why doesn't my shadow SMILE back?"
Just so that you have one less thing to wonder - this someone was a 5 year old girl.
It's not every day that you expect such a question from a 5 year old. And my answer after a brief pause was - "Why doesn't your shadow cry when you do?
It's because it is your only FRIEND which will always be there with you, trying to make you HAPPY.
So if you SMILE again now and try to see clearly, you'll see your shadow SMILING back at you."
And her reply to this was - "Yes! I can see her smiling back now."
It's all about being HAPPY...both from inside and outside!!!
BE HAPPY, KEEP SMILING :)
