How to be Happy?

Happy is such a simple word, but to actually really feel it inside us is quite the opposite. I've been reading this book called "Happiness in Hard Times". It is one of my favourite book now. I can just start at any page and it is like a supplement to my soul now.

So, the first chapter of the book is about "Acceptance". The author said that the first thing to do and the only thing to do is to accept where we are right now. To turn things around us, we must first make peace with our situation. Forget about blame, forget about guilt, forget the "what ifs". Acceptance does not mean giving up. It is a recognition that "This is a part of my journey." Very often it means "Right now I have no idea why this had to be a part of my journey but I embrace it anyway."

In a Nutshell: Acceptance is power

So I am embracing "this" now and I hope that this first step will lead me to finding happiness within myself soon...
