I used to think that not everyone deserves to be happy. Since I had series of events that made me very unhappy, I thought maybe I am just one of those who doesn’t deserve it, and that maybe I just stop looking for it because if it’s not meant to be, it’s really not. There’s no such thing as “meant to be”.
It took me years to realize that happiness is a choice. You can’t depend on people, events and other things for your happiness. One huge and difficult step to start with being happy is to move on. Learn from your mistakes in the past and never look back. Never compare present events from the past. Once you’ve moved on, accept the things that come your way and always do good for others and for your self.
Paul the apostle said “Blessed are those who give than those who receive” but I don’t expect to give just so I can get more in return. I am not a religious person and I don’t like religious people because for me, these people are hypocrites. I realized that only God has the right to judge them, not me. It’s their problem, not mine. I cannot be an anti-Christ because I hate what Christians do. I cannot stop believing in God because people who believe in God are not perfect. Never allow others to cause you sin or turn your dreams into nightmares.
You see, happiness is not that hard to find, you just have to realize it. This is similar to the inner peace from Kung Fu Panda 2. It works. I learned that to be happy, one must have inner peace, and to have inner peace, you must accept the things that had happened in the past, and in the present.
Inner peace. Inner peace. Inner peace. Inner peace.
This post is actually inspired from the movie "Diary of A Nymphomaniac", a Spanish movie my friend had me borrowed. No. I am not a nymphomaniac, and the movie was good with a moral lesson. ; )
