Steemit Engagement Challenge / S11W1 - "Happiness is the highest form of health.

From a humble heart, I bring greetings to every steemian taking part in this engagement challenge. It's yet another beautiful day and an opportunity to relate with you and also share my perspective on the topic under review (Happiness).

In the life we live, it is either you are free from troubles, or you are in a mess. I said this because I believe we all have 2 feelings (Happiness and sadness). That's to say, if you are not happy, then you are sad. Nevertheless, I believe to some extent that you can decide which mode to give yourself. Remain blessed as you continue reading through.

👩‍⚕️ What does the word "happiness" mean to you?

I might not be able to tell what happiness is, but I know what it is not. For the sake of this contest, I define happiness as the state of being free from negative emotional feelings. He who has no happiness. Also, he who sees the negative side of things has no happiness.

Permit me to also define happiness as the most must active drug that heals every illness. To me, happiness is a powerful tool that heals every wound and gives life meaning. I don't consider life worth living without happiness.

👩‍⚕️ Do you consider that happiness is a decision of each person?

Life can be full of challenges and disappointments that can keep a smile far away. Remember, it is hard and almost impossible to decide what happens to our life tomorrow, and that is the more reason why we encounter challenges and failure. Sometimes, the more we try to make things right, the more we fail. I believe it is one of the basic things that brings sadness into our life. Friends, family members, and even colleagues can also fail us. That also brings sadness and disappointment.

Nevertheless, you have a great role and a decision to make towards your happiness. Remember, no one has the responsibility of making you happy. As such, at all costs, keep yourself happy by doing things that bring joy into your life, seeing the positive aspect of everything, staying away from negative people, and developing your mind to be stronger than your emotions.

👩‍⚕️ What things make you happy? Give an example of an incident that made you happy.?

Many things make me happy. For example, playing music, having a good time with friends and family, achieving my goals, and seeing myself growing are some of the things that bring happiness into my life. But the greatest thing that feels my heart with joy is waking up to see another beautiful day. I feel happy every morning knowing fully well that I'm still in God's plan for that day.

Talking about the moment that made me happy, I can remember the day I wrote my final exam as an undergraduate student. When I started, the journey seemed to be endless, but that day I saw myself writing my last exam. After the exam, my heart was full of joy and gratitude to God. What made me happy the more was when I returned home, my mum hugged me and whispered to my ears 👂 " I love ❤️ you, I'm proud of you". Till today, I still feel those words in my ears.

👩‍⚕️ Do you think happiness can help your health?

I'm definition of happiness, I mentioned that happiness is the most powerful healer. Only happiness can relieve you from emotional trauma. Only happiness can give meaning to life. Only happiness can make you live longer. Only happiness can let you build relationships with others.

Permit me to say that lack of happiness has taken many people to the grave. Life without happiness is indeed not worth living. For you to know the meaning of life, you need to be happy. Anyone who wants to live a short life should continue to stay away from happiness.

Conclusion

As you live, life brings challenges to depress and deprive you of happiness, but remember never to be conquered. Stay strong and make yourself happy because only you have the key to your happiness. The day you made someone the key to your joy, is the day you start dying.

I finally want to invite @josepha, @ruthjoe, and @eliany to share their view.
