Happiness is...

"Happiness is what you make it to be." He said.

Life always gets me thinking, and being in a relationship with someone who is happy and easy going makes me realize that there are things in life that just aren't worth dwelling about.
Being with someone who can keep a positive attitude in the worst of situations makes me see that I can do that too. It makes me see that living life and being happy everyday is important, which sometimes people forget about. My boyfriend is the one of the people who has made a big impact on my life (in a positive way, of course). Everytime I fret about the little details, or keep talking about something that has already happened that I can't change. His happiness and wisdom reminds me to not waste my energy on things that has already happened but to forgive and live today. I find that many people always look at the past, or look ahead to the future - which isn't a bad thing, but you are living now, so cherish it.

I also realize that my life isn't bad at all. I was fortunate to have grown up in a pretty happy family and have almost everything provided for. Food, shelter, clothes and all the necessities for decent living. So why in the world was I always complaining about the stuff I didn't have? I think society is so caught up in being better, and achieving more and living lifestyles like celebrities that we take everything that we have for granted. But when you think about some one who has less than you do, then you realize how fortunate you are.

The thing is though: how often do we think about someone who has less than you?
And why do we always compare ourselves to people who have more than we do?

I also stumbled upon a video that one of my favourite beauty gurus on YouTube made. It couldn't have come at  better time. I just wanted to share with you this video from Bubzbeauty which touched me very much and I'm sure it would touch you as well.
