Reflect on happiness

by Jummy

Following yesterday’s article about SparkPeople, I received this in my inbox from a daily SparkPeople email:

Understanding happiness

Happiness is a state of mind, not a way of life or a destination that you’ll reach one day. Bumps in the road of life are to be expected, and we cannot let them ruin our days. We often think that if a combination of factors would just fall into place THEN we would finally be happy. Satisfaction can only come from within, through truly accepting yourself, your life, and your circumstances. During this life you’ll have many hard days–long work days, sleepless nights, worrying about the future, etc. This week, think about the joys of your life. Find creative ways to enjoy the little bumps in the road.

I encourage you to read it, think about it, then live it!

    This is so true. Some of the worst bumps in my life have led me to the happiest times. Don’t let the bad get you down - there is always some sort of happiness ahead.
