Happiness Bubble

Aloha Cheesecakes!

Today's post will talk about happiness. No, don't flip, I do not intend to give 'gyaan'. My blog ain't no Speaking Tree.
I just want to share my views on this already-widely-discussed topic.

What is happiness?

Now the Oxford dictionary defines being happy as

'feeling or showing pleasure or contentment'.

Lets break it down, shall we?

I believe happiness is a state wherein you're most at ease. A state which lets you be in the present, in the moment. It can be as big as getting a promotion, coming to know you're pregnant, winning a massive lottery (Ooh.. I see some of you smile at that thought). 

OR

It can be as small as hugging someone you love, playing a game of Ludo with your family. Hell, eating a big plate of Sunny Side Up Eggs makes a person like me happy.

Now, I am a 9 to 5 working girl. Everyday whilst taking a walk to my office, I see some of my colleagues with their dead walk and slumped shoulders (I realise it must be lack of sleep, but everyday? Really? I doubt that). And EVERY MORNING, I always wonder how they survive through the day and their tight schedule with that energy. For God's sake, where is your Mojo?

Mind you, I love my job. Unlike some of the others, I do love staring into the computer and cracking the code. But that's off the point. Now, the same sloppy-walk people are the most transformed beings when office is over. They are light on their feet. They have a different smile on their face. 

The one's who are separated from their respective lovebirds after 9 long hours, they huddle up in one corner with their cellphones and have a nice pink hue on their face. And I think to myself 'Now you're living in the moment. You found you Mojo'.

Of course, you don't have to be smiling like a buffoon to 'live in the moment'. Sometimes, just doing something that gives you ecstasy or doing something that liberates you is the answer to be in the moment.

Just FYI, by liberating yourself, I don't mean doing drugs. If anything, am against it.

What I mean is, doing something that makes you alive. Like dancing. All you dancers out there, you know what I am talking about. The emotion that runs through you when you feel every beat of that music resonating in your body, from your tiny little finger to your swiveling hips (which I hope don't lie like Shakira). Now that's some emotion, eh?

Everyone, what gives you that kind of emotion? It could be painting, singing, listening to music.
Something. Find out.

Treasure it. It's your's to savour. In the darkest of times, this very emotion shall be your Midnight Light.

So, folks, try and live in the moment. Be happy.
If you're not happy, kindly let others be. Don't ruin someone else's spunk, alright?
Remember your 'treasure'. Feel alive.

So lemme know what makes you happy.
