Share this Moment of Happiness
Happiness is this magical gift of sharing moments with people. Your people, those who care, who are inspired and inspiring. The people who stand by you, believe in you, encourage, and support you. You need those authentic people, the true relationships.
Sometimes these special people are not around you. They may be far away, they may not even be in this life anymore. But the power of the relationship still holds, it’s true and meaningful, if you decide to see it this way. These people are inside you. Their voice is there, their emotional presence is in your heart. These are your tribe. You have shared moments of happiness that now are part of you.
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. Virginia Woolf
Happiness is when you have a casual discussion and realize that a door to all possibilities opens for you. It’s this magical moment when you feel a sense of connection, when you find beauty and truth around you. Suddenly, there’s not only “what is,” but there’s a whole magical world of “what could be.” It’s not about having many dreams or multilayered dreams. It’s about the ability to dream, to lose yourself in the positive “what if…” and being able to let go and follow it. It’s the same happiness when you read an inspiring piece, when you get moved, and motivated, and you are willing to make even the smallest of changes so that you can feel good and happy.
It’s fine to have social media that connects us with old friends, but we need tools that help us discover new people as well. Ethan Zuckerman
Maybe one of the things that we lack today is this inspiration, the ability to dream, to think of the impossible and make it possible. If we are not inspired, if we don’t dream, if we just sit there trying to deal with just the mundane things, just the difficulties, it’s like waiting for life to pass by.
This inspiration I am talking about doesn’t have to do with creating big things, making money, earning fame. These may come too. Or may not. But they don’t define happiness. I am referring to the inspiration that regulates our emotions, that lets us see the beauty around, notice the small precious moments and immerse ourselves in those instants.
Happiness is your small world, where you belong, and dream, and act, and continue your journey, hoping to find those other people who will share it and contribute to make it brighter. Happiness is a magic gift inside us.
Warmly,
