Enjoy Life, Discover Happiness


Most of the time, we are searching for the secret ingredients to the most amazing tang of life. Everyone of us probably has his own approach to finding the joy of living, and some of us even make crucial decisions just to get the right mix. Eventually, we hold on to what makes us comfortable and happy.

A quest to finding real happiness is hard work. We need to equip ourselves with so much enthusiasm and determination and readiness to experience both the best and the worst of the world. The important thing to do is set up our goals in life, work on achieving it and never cower to any trial along the way just to get it. In the end, we will find the fruits of our hard work, find contentment and discover the meaning of life.

For most people, happiness is just a matter of the mind. If we looked around us, it is true. Why? Even the smallest of things around us, which most of the time we fail to see, are sources of joy and happiness. The green trees, the waves of the ocean, the colors of sunset, the sands on the beach, the breaking of twigs, the sound of birds chirping, the flailing of the leaves, and the smiles of innocent children on the streets are only very few of them.

There are so many things that make us happy depending on our preferences and choices. Personally, simple things bring elation and thrill to my day.

Pens, Papers and Discs. I can’t live a day without writing. It has become my life for the past many years. I’d be damned if I could not read a book and watch movies. Through writing, I allow myself to save memories and unleash stressful vibes out of my system. With books, I can travel around the world and to places I've never known. Movies allow me to stop from my boring routines, have fun and learn some things.

Natural Wonders. While I really love those three, I found nature a treasure cove of breathtaking escapades and spring of joy and liberation. There is freedom and hope at the sight of mountains and green fields. The panoramic view of marshlands and the beach could create changes in our lives at enormous proportions.

Physical Activities. Nowadays, maintaining optimum health is vital to survival. Medical services are quite expensive, especially for those who survive with meager income. Besides, physical activities foster positivity and good vibes. Running or walking can also give us time to think and discover our life’s purpose. It is important to determining which way to go and avoid wrong choices and bad decisions.

Outdoors. There are also people who love the great outdoors. Experts say that outdoor activities are beneficial to life, both physically and mentally. There are a lot of outdoor activities we can try and enjoy. Aside from the health benefits derived from these activities, we will also find the sources of delight and excitement.

Life is a mystery to be uncovered and understood. Therefore, it is essential to have time to listen to our inner self, prepare for the surprises and be willing to embrace what’s favorably available for the taking. Life lessons are abundantly everywhere. We don’t have to chase them or search for them. We will find them at every corner of our existence and they will show up when we need them. We only need to see things, deeper. To enjoy life is to allow ourselves to discover happiness and life’s meaning—allowing us to grow and look at life in a more positive way.
