Happiness is so Underrated

Ahan! Life is not as complicated as we sometimes allow it to be. We need to calm down o! Can you imagine? Someone asked me: "Amaka, how are you?" I answered, with the most beautiful smile ever, "I'm fine." The next thing the person said was, "Aha! You look really happy. What happened? Has he proposed yet?" Mtchwwww!

Biko, what is happiness? Happiness is a state of being happy. Being happy is a positive emotional state of mind. It is a decision to be in that state.

Initially, I didn't want to blog about this. But I have it so laid in my heart to share this light. What does happiness mean to you? Sometimes, we get it all wrapped up in our heads that we think the new phone, shoes, bags, relationship or job is enough to make us happy. No. No. No.

The happiness that is based on a particular possession cannot last. It's not a bad thing to be happy when you get a new pair of shoes sha (Yea, I love shoes that much. Lol), but such happiness will only stay for a moment. How many would I get just to remain happy? Material things cannot sustain happiness.

We stuggle to find happiness in our lives because we think it is far away. This is why it is so underrated. The point is, happiness is an emotion. Where do emotions exist? Of course, it is in our minds! All we need to do is to let it out. We are happy, if only we knew.

I believe happiness is also an experience. A spiritual experience, actually. It is an experience of grace, gratitude and love. When you have the presence God in you, you are filled with happiness. :)

So when that person asked me that annoying question, I was like *In waffi accent* So person no fit happy again because say person broke, or say person never marry, or say person never get job, or say person dream never gree show? Abegy! 

I'm happy, simply because I choose to be happy :)
