"Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you." ~ Ralph Marston
I started my post with a quote from Ralph Marston. There are too many ways to define happiness. I'm literally searching for happiness (yes, I Googled it my friend! 😄) and I found out that there are about 173,000,000 results after entering the word (check it out!).
While there are too many descriptions, images, videos and anything else that can describe "happiness", It is still by choice. We can be happy in many different ways.
Happiness is Food
We all love food (who doesn't?) Everyone who has a body needs to eat. So this is first on my list of happiness.
Appetizing, that's all my cravings for today 😁
Happiness is Family
We are definitely happy to be with our family. This thing we cannot change and replace. At the end, our family will still be one of the sources of happiness.
I always remember this funny thought of "My Family" (please check out video of Ms. San Miguel on the link below this thread)
Janina “I don’t feel any pressure right now” San Miguel, 2008
Host: So you won two of the major special awards…do you feel any pressure right now?
A: No, I don’t feel any pressure right now!
Then she was asked to pick the name of the judge who would ask her the question.
Q: The question is, what role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?
A: Well, my family’s role for me is so important because there was the wa- they’re, they was the one who’s very (laughs). Oh I’m so sorry. Um, my family, my family. Oh my god. I’m…
Host: Pwede ka magtagalog. Okay lang.
A: Ok, I’m so sorry. I, I told you that I’m so confident… Eto, um, wait… (laughs). Um, sorry guys because this was really my first pageant ever because I’m only 17 years old and (laughs) I, I did not expect that I came from, I came from one of the top 10. Hmmm, so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.
Happiness are Friends
Friends are another source of happiness. They are the angels sent by God to help us in times where the family is not there. The bond we share with friends are strong that we are there for each other in times of need.

Happiness is Travel
Most of the time we travel to be happy so this next on my list.
“Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.”
― Roy Goodman
Happiness is Christ
Last and the most important thing in all, True happiness can only be found in Jesus Christ.
I would like to share part of my devotion about happiness.
