Happiness

What is happiness to you? What makes you happy? 

Being with the people I love and cherish is happiness for me. Family, relatives, and good friends are the people that I love and cherish. Knowing that we’re safe and healthy are enough to make me happy. 

In the eyes of a child, happiness is simple. Children can be happy with a candy, or a small toy. As we grow old, it becomes complicated. Small things become grand, and there are times it’s hard to reach.

As we mature, we become greedy to material things because we thought the things around us make us happy. They say money can buy everything but happiness. It’s true, though money can buy us things that can make us happy, it’s not really genuine happiness. It’s what we call, temporary happiness. 

It can be seen in our eyes if we’re truly happy. We can fake our smile, our laughter, but not when they look in our eyes. They’re the window of our soul. It reflects what’s inside us.

Happiness can be achieved not just with money or any material things that surrounds usBy having a complete and simple happy family,  a roof above us, a complete meal, a good health, and believing that there’s always God that protects and loves us. That’s happiness. Without God in our life, we are nothing. With God, we can simply not to worry, and be happy.
