Are you happy?

This question is often asked if we're happy. If we're satisfied. How often do you wonder and ask your self am I happy?
If I feel good for an hour a day, and horrible for the rest of the day, am I happy? What if I am happy for eight hours a day and miserable for the rest of the sixteen hours? Am I a happy person? For most of us, happiness is a state that is not permanent. We are not happy throughout the day. At least the majority of us are not. What do you think happiness is? Happiness means a sense of deep contentment. A cheerful outlook. An attitude of positive thoughts. A person who has these qualities is happy at all times of the day. How about celebrities then? They have names, fame, and wealth. They can buy whatever they desire, no matter the quantity. Their name is splashed around in the media most of the time. Every news about them is awaited by the general population. Celebrities may not have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but the current spoon is mostly that of gold. So they must be happy right? But sadly, happiness is away from most of them. Speaking of contentment, most of them are not only not feeling any contentment, but are frustrated. They are jealous at times. And they have no deep sense of peace in them. Rather their life and minds are full of turbulence. They are at times so dissatisfied with their own life that they wish to run away from themselves. This they cannot do, and therefore substances that take them away from their own realities are so often used by them. Most people say that happiness has something to do with money,  And I agree too but only to an extent. Happiness has nothing to do with fame if you are not satisfied with yourself. Whatever the world may say, unless one has self-esteem, one can never be happy. All of us sail in the same boat. Most of us are living unhappy lives most of the time. Let us get the happiness that will give us a satisfied sense of living. Let us strive for happiness in our own inner world. Spread love wherever you go. If you like something about someone tell them. Don't stop doing things that give you joy. Talk to that person, love unconditionally, laugh out loud, dress the way you want, wear that lipstick, get that haircut, go out and take pictures, Do it all. Little things make a huge difference and life is too short to spend it worrying about things that are not in your control. Make yourself  HAPPY.
