Happiness Is When You Endure Bad Situation

by johnlazy on February 8, 2009

Why is it we are continuing on looking for happiness? And for whatever reason it seems like it is really hard to find, maybe because we want more and contentment is not in our mind.

Wanting more is not really bad in its context, it’s just a sign of self worth that we want our lives to improve. But we know already the positive and negative aspect of it.

Happiness can sum up if you endure the bad situation you are in and you accept it even though you want more. That’s why poor people is more happier than the rich one, because they don’t rely on material wealth to make them happy and they don’t think of that too much because in the first place they have none. But given a chance they will absolutely embrace wealth with open arms.

The feeling that no house to live but under the bridge, can’t bath daily because no water available, rice and salt is enough once a day, and that for them is the normality of things but we know that is not what they want. Of course they want more than that; a small house will do, can bath daily with clean clothes, and have a meal three times a day with different dishes. But they endure their situation and can still be happy, and simple upgrade of their lives is all they want.

So if you’re in bad situation don’t despair because your situation is not really bad in the first place, it is just not good for the moment but it will later on. Happiness can be achieved even though situation and condition of your life is not pleasing on the eye.

You will appreciate more the beauty of life if you have been in bad condition and you have passed that with your character intact. And if someday you will become successful, you will know the feeling of being in that situation and still be thankful you have experienced such condition.

So happiness can merely be a state of mind? Maybe if you have the right mindset. Experience is the best teacher, not really, you can learn from the experience of others without experiencing it yourself. So don’t wait to be in a bad situation to know what happiness means. Common sense will still be your best key to happiness.

So don’t look for happiness because it is really in you, you are just afraid to emphasize it. So smile not because you’re happy but because you can still smile in spite of sadness and bad situation.
