Who is in Control?

Are you happy? How to you decide if you are happy? Is happiness related to success? Is it related to money? What about lifestyle?

Now that was a lot of unnecessary questions. I think happiness is not related to any of those.

I once thought happiness is related to success. But I tell you, it’s not. I’ve seen successful people striving for more success failing to be happy in who they are. People say money can make you happy as it can buy you things that makes you happy. There are many people who can find happiness in little things, whereas there are people who can’t enjoy the little things.

Happiness is associated to you. Happiness is when you decide to be happy.

If you decide you’ll be happy when you make money, then that’s how it is. If you decide you will be happy when you have a good lifestyle or a great partner, then that is happiness. I know people who get happy when they make people around them happy. Some are happy when they taste great food.

Happiness is in you. You are in control. It’s you who decide to suppress it or to express it. Every moment of your life is happy if you want it to be, if you decide to take control.
