Why I am HAPPY today OR My motivational speech on How To Be Happy.

Happiness is not a choice. Happiness is an obligation.

I don't know why, but for some reason I have been feeling oh so happy today... 

Perhaps because it is Friday and we are having a sunny weekend ahead.. with occasional showers but oh well. In fact i love summer rain...  

Probably because I got into the habit of appreciating beautiful things around me. Every morning when i wake up I literally just go through the list of things i appreciate in my life. I realised that I have a lot more than I ever could have expected. And I am so grateful. 

I noticed also that I used to not be thankful for the simple things that do deserve love and visibility in my own mind to start with. I used to take these things for granted. In fact I used to not even spend a minute to give a little though to any of it, which was a huge mistake. If we don't think or talk about it, we forget about it.

Today is different. It is August 7 and I am feeling happy. It is quite a change for me. I like to believe it is a change for the better. Perhaps it is a sign that I am moving again. I like to believe that I am moving forward, evolving. I am not stuck in the same place anymore. This does my heart good.

We are so busy trying to find ourselves...

Don't look for yourself.

Create yourself!

I realised that life is not about trying to find yourself, but about creating yourself. Create your beautiful self and go anywhere from there. The doors are open once you know who you are and what you are worth.

I also like this following message that i came across in tumblr. ages ago. It really motivates me every single time i read it. It reminds me that working on yourself and and being happy with yourself are the most important continuous life goals. 

Let me know in the comments what you think of my random motivational post. It is really just about sharing my experience and hopefully it is helpful and interesting to some of you out there. 

I am sending good vibes from my place to yours.
