Are you truly happy?
Someone once told me this: "happiness is a mood, not a destination; it comes and goes just like hunger or pain." I'd rather want to think of happiness as "the journey" itself; a state of mind.
A truly happy person consistently maintains a demeanor that is independent of his temporal emotions.
Don't misquote me.
A happy person is not that person who "does not" feel pain, depression or rejection; he is not the crazy guy who is "always" laughing at the most absurd situations; not the girl who "doesn't" get angry.
A happy person, however, is that one, who has made the CHOICE that whatsoever the emotional trauma he is faced with, his resolve to be genuinely happy will be unshaken.
For me, I'll say that the happiness-state-of-mind keeps you emotionally intelligent, you are braced up against the next potential swing in the mood. Haha!
Stay Happy 😊😊
