It could range from a trip around the world to having a cosy evening on your couch at home, or that novel you have always wanted to read, or a new pair of shoes, or clothes, or a smile!
It could be anything, it doesn't have to be enormous or outrageous, little things that make you happy.
Life as I have seen so far never hands any human the whole deal, there must be a snag, its like making a deal with the devil, you must give in order to take.
Fine, I am guilty of that jealous look you give someone whom you think has a better life than you or is more beautiful or has more money. The truth is, that person has problems just like you!
When i asked a friend of mine why she always has to be in stilettos even in the most impossible situation or a hectic day, she gave me a simple reply that made me lean back from the force of the blaring truth in her simple response; 'It makes me happy'.
It occurred to me then, that tons of stuff we do are not for ourselves, but to create a good impression for others to admire or what we feel is acceptable.
Doing things that make one happy doesn't mean one should be selfish, it means being content and comfortable with one's self to an extent, that one can give back to the world.
No matter the situation you are going through, someone is going through worse and no matter how good you think you are at something, someone is better!
The idea is to make the best of what we have and things around us in living life to its fullest, bearing in mind dat no one individual has everything he has ever dreamed of.
A man once said,
'if everyone drops their idividual problems in a heap and then asked to pick up any other problem they feel is a lighter burden, they would most probably pick up their own problems again, as no one can bear or understand the intricasies of a problem except first hand.
Thus the saying "He who wears the shoe knows best where it pinches".
So go out there, make the best of what you have, and remember, droplets of joy, make a happy life!
True talk.
