This morning I woke up with the word Happiness on my mind. For quite some time now, I have been astonished by this word. It's defined as a state of being happy, which is defined as delightful or pleased over a particular thing. The reason why I am so astonished by this word is because within the definition it never states anything about happiness being dependent upon someone else. I took this definition to mean that being happy is not dependent upon no one providing anything for it to exist but rather just being in this state because of something that you can find joy in. Meaning that your happiness is solely dependent upon you. The only thing other people should be able to do is add to your happiness. There is no way someone can come along and make you completely happy. You can not make a person completely happy if they are not happy with themselves. If you do, it's only temporary, just like a high from a drug. You feel good for the time being, while the drugs are in your system. But when the drug has left your system, your back at square one. Back to being sad and gloomy.
Take the time to become happy about you. Stop sitting around waiting on someone or something to make you happy. Remember happiness is defined as a state of being happy which means being delightful or pleased OVER a particular thing. That particular thing should be YOU! Be happy that you are who you are and God created you the way that he did for a reason. Now don't take this as if you can't change some of your ways that you know aren't the best. All I am saying is that you should be happy that you exist. Be happy that God has blessed you with what you have. Now take what he has given you and make more of it. Make more of yourself. Make more of your family. Make more of your friends. Make more of your life. He only gave you one life, but he also gave you this thing called choice and chance. This gives you the ability to live your life as many times as you want to before he comes and take it back and check to see if you treated the life that he gave you the way it was suppose to be treated. If you have, he will then give it to you FOREVER and let you reside in a place called HEAVEN!
