Happiness.

Happiness isn't just something that you can make up. It's not something you can fake, and it isn't an emotion that's easily passed across the face throughout the day as an effortless smile.
It's an emotion that resides deep within your heart and within the visible depths of your eyes.

Happiness is something that radiates within you. It's something that you feel to the ends of your toes, shooting out your fingertips, and passing through your eyes to every person you look at throughout the day. Happiness is not something that you can fake, it's something you can achieve. I stress that you have the control. You decide how you want to feel each day. You want to be dramatic? You will be dramatic! You want to be angry? You're guaranteed to have everything go wrong. But, if you want to be happy, and have a great day with sunshine and vivid smiles, you will wake up with positivity, and end your day with a smile. Each day is about searching for something new and exciting, it's about finding something wonderful, and letting it spread and fester its way into everything else in your day. Happiness is milking every little great thing for all that it's worth, and finding something else to keep that smile on your face, something simple, something perfect, something amazing.

Something new. Or old. Whichever makes you smile.

Speaking thoughts of happiness and sharing them with others isn't what makes you happy if it's not a true statement. You have to feel it, and believe it, for you to actually find it within yourself. Telling yourself you're happy isn't what makes it true, telling others your happy doesn't actually make you any happier. You have to live it, and see it. Just keep working, and find your balance, because once you've found true happiness...

you'll never let it go again.

And that's why I'm starting from the beginning: What exactly is it that leads to this elation that we all wish to feel? I believe it's confidence. Confidence affects everything. It's one of those things that will never cease to amaze you. The power of confidence is one so strong, that if you truly realize it, and acknowledge its significance, you'll have something more than most people in this world will ever dream of; you will have the power to be happy, and bear a contagious smile on your face that will have all the others glowing around you. Not only will you have the ability to be comfortable with and proud of yourself, but you will also be able to make others feel this way as well.


And that is something that will brighten any person's day.

  1. I needed a refresher of where happiness comes from. I am starting my last week in Quantatative Statistics and I found myself frowning A LOT! I needed to get myself re-centered. Thank you for the reminder!
