Tick tick! thinking about true happiness, me myself and I, what actually gives me true happiness.
Looking into my personality. I discover that God has actually endowed me with what some people use money to find. Being a counseling psychologist in training helps me to know what this is called. It’s called INTRINSIC MOTIVATION (motivation that comes from within). The level at which everyone of us have this is different. In this life so many things will come our way that will want to pull one down. But when you have intrinsic motivation, your happiness will come from within and you will find yourself giving reason for everything and finding a Happiness in whatever situation that comes your way. People will look at you as weird, when you are going through a situation and that should make you sad and and are actually very well ok. Like when one lost someone close and people expect you to be indoor for like a month and in two weeks you are out there with your smiles on ur face. They may accuse you of what you are innocent of.
When you are emotionally balanced you have a little work to do in building you intrinsic motivation towards happiness and when you have found this treasure it becomes part of you. Someone once said ‘if you can’t make yourself happy, then little can outsiders do. Let it flow from within.
Lets leave psychology, I find true happiness when people around me are happy. There is this peace that flood my soul when I see a smile on a colleague or a friend. It always bothered me when I see frowns on people. I don’t know why it’s a problem to me, I just find myself wanting the whole world to be happy. It’s give me a special kind of joy which is true happiness, and believe you me, though I’m not really an extrovert . You can’t be with me and not be happy. My sense of humor is innate it flows like a river. You need to be happy so you can life longer. Even when there one have health challenge. Doctors advice people to be around so that the spirit of the person can be lifted up. When you are happy you become healthier and heal faster.
Well don’t say I’m weird some people find true happiness in money, having luxurious things, i also do, but not like having a good food in front of me. I mean good food that I like, I always have butterflies in my stomach when I see good food. And I plan to travel around the world not to see the good landscape or nice places but to taste their delicacy especially that of Korea.
Until I left home for school I never knew the type of happiness my family gives it’s a true one, I always look forward to going home after every semester break. There are always unending gist for me at home. Even hearing their voices on phone alone brings a beautiful and natural smile to my face. I love my family. Always remember to tell them how much you love them. There was a day I sent messages to all of them my Dad, Mom Brothers and Sis. Telling them how much i love them and can’t do without them They taught something bad happened to me. Remembering it now brought smiles to my face. They were so surprised.
Finally when you love God you have the highest level of happiness. If you have not experienced it, then you need to look for it. The peace is always there because you believe everything is working out for you good. There is a song that says
I still got joy in chaos
I’ve got peace that makes no sense
I won’t be going under
I’m not held by my own strength
I put my life on Jesus
He never let me down
He’s faithful through every season
So why will He fail me
No, He won’t………...
