on happiness...
"In making others happy,
We will be happy, too,
For the happiness you give away
Returns to shine on you."
- Helen Steiner Rice
Sometimes it feels like in life, in everyday life, there are so many things that we can be happy about. There are even more things that we could do for others that would make us happy, like little gestures, small acts of kindess.. but it seems like there are so many things to consider before doing something like that nowadays. Like, "What would they think?", "Will they think I'm annoying?", "What if they just ignore me.." and maybe even "What will others say about me after I do something nice?" Should it be that way?
Sometimes it's suffocating because it's so difficult to decide to do something that will make you happy, just because of what other people could or would say. But happiness is created, never just found by chance (as Helen Steiner Rice writes), so do what pleases your heart and follow the path to happiness! If only it is as easily done as said...
