Happiness is Under Your Feet
Happiness is Under Your Feet
Where are you looking for happiness?
Are you working hard to create a bright future? Do you believe that you can’t be happy, unless this future becomes a living reality?
Do you believe that happiness comes after a long period of suffering?
Attention, my friend. You are depriving yourself from happiness.
Here is an astonishing fact:
“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer
You are the one who has the power to grow happiness in your life. Happiness is a choice not a result. You choose to be happy.
I want you to do this simple exercise. Think about 10 things that you are most grateful for in your life.
How do you feel?
Life is not too bad, right?!
The negative circumstances have the power to dominate your thoughts and make you feel that everything in life is bad. It hinders you from creating happiness in your life. You always feel like you shouldn’t be happy, right now, just because your ideal future is not manifested.
Choose to be happy now. Here is another exercise.
Smile!! Yes, I mean it. Smile
How do you feel?
Do you want another exercise? OK, here it is…
Look at a picture of a smiling baby, or listen to a baby when he laughs.
How do you feel?
My friend, happiness is under your feet. Choose to be happy, now!
