“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we took so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened up for us” - Helen Keller
Wake up! It is alright to be happy but accept the fact that things can certainly go wrong. After all, what kind of life would this be if it is full of happiness, devoid of trials and challenges? It would be a boring world indeed.
To be truly happy, one must know the importance of sacrifice. Sacrifice is a vital behavior one must learn in life for without it, pride settles in and blocks the path to happiness. While learning how to sacrifice things dear to you might be hard, think of the people who can be happy through your deed. A common example of this is one-sided love. If you truly love someone who doesn't love you back, sacrifice your feelings for the sake of seeing him/her happy with someone else. After all, you will only be hurting yourself even more if you force him/her to reciprocate your feelings. Let him/her go, for the happiness that you are worthy of will come in time.
You also have to remember that even in the darkest of times, happiness can slip in if you allow it to. Whenever you feel lonely, keep in mind that somehow, somewhere, happiness is on its way into your life. And once it arrives, you can easily grasp it and savor every moment. True happiness is born out of sacrifice and pain.
Here are several things to bear in mind if you want to be truly happy:
*Learn to how to give
You have to learn how to give and then take only what is rightfully yours. If you receive something you think has to be given back, do so. If you receive something you think has to be reciprocate the action, do so. Never take things without giving something back in turn, especially if people are in need.
*Learn how to love wholeheartedly.
It is so much easy to say that you love someone. The truth of the matter is, you really don't know for sure. When you love someone, you become selfless. You give your all to a person and trust him/her completely. That's what happened on me. There are too many opportunities to be truly happy with love and you can't risk tying yourself down to a person that you're not sure of, especially if you believe that is only one person in this world who can make you happy. Learn to let go if it doesn't feel right and keep your faith. This way, true happiness can come in your life at the proper place and time and your heart free to accept it.
# But, sometimes when we love a person with wholeheartedly, it may effect us someday, They might hurt us, lied us and etc. Love wholeheartedly means that we are giving full of love, belief and hopes to them. Nowadays, most of them are backstabber. They will be there for us when we are pleased and none for us when we are in trouble. They will need us when they are in damn trouble. Otherwise, we will be there for them to make sure they happy and feel appreciated. Is it fair?
These are based on own experiences. I am still remember that one night I'm dying for seeking a love from someone. Wait, it's sound like I'm fucking desperate! No, it's just like I'm crying and whine like a baby because of someone that I'm hoping to be mine. But, it is not happen. I was postnatal complaint - a mother losing her new born baby -,- Then, one of my friends screamed and scolded me. She gave a pep-talk bla bla bla! She said " Tu lah mu, cakap dok bagi harapan sangat, tapi dah macam orang gila aku tengok."
He just left me without any reason. I was like trying to have an answer for the reason why he make me like that. So pathetic okay! At last, he told me that he can't forget his ex-girlfriend. Fuck him lol!
4months okay, 4months we were having secret-relationship "teman tapi mesra" Daaaaaa!
-THE END-
These are the essences of true happiness. Learning how to sacrifice and letting things go for the sake of grander things to come. Life is too short for you to insist on the things that are not meant to be yours. Keep the faith, and be truthfully happy.
