The Quest for Thought

There are days when absolutely anything can make you happy and then there are days when you have to consciously make an effort to be happy and some days when nothing works.

Many things make people happy, like travelling, spending time with loved ones, treks or swimming. On the other hand, there are many small things that make us happy, which sometimes could even be more than the big things like:

• Getting a text from a loved one
• Finding a long-lost item
• Finding money in an old jeans
• Talking to an old friend
• A simple compliment

Many things can make us happy, but the true happiness we get is when we are content from within. The small moments cannot be enjoyed if there is no joy inside. When making a conscious effort to understand what emotions we are feeling and why we are feeling them, it is easier to navigate them and not get easily triggered by our surroundings.

There is nothing wrong with feeling sadness, more often than not it is necessary to feel sad, to actually understand the true meaning of happiness. Watch ‘Inside Out’ to understand this in a better way.

This year I wish everyone love, joy and laughter and most importantly the ability and strength to fight through everything.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one remembers to turn on the lights” – Dumbledore
