During a marriage seminar, a woman was asked: Does your husband make you happy? Does it really make you happy? At that moment, the husband raised his neck slightly as a sign of security, he knew that his wife would say yes, since she had never complained during their marriage.

However, the wife responded with a resounding – ‘NO.!!! …… does not make me happy’ … And to the astonishment of the husband… he continued: -It doesn’t make me happy………I am happy! … Whether I am happy or not, that does not depend on him, but on me. I am the only person on whom my happiness depends.

I determine to be happy in every situation and in every moment of my life, because if my happiness depended… on some person, thing… or circumstance. …on the peace of this land, I would be in serious trouble. Everything that exists in this life changes continuously. … The human being, the riches, my body, the climate, the pleasures, etc. And so I could say an endless list. Throughout my life, I have learned something; I decide to be happy and I call the rest… ‘experiences’: love, forgive, help, grasp, accept, hear, comfort. There are people who say: – I can’t be happy… because I’m sick, because I don’t have money, because it’s too hot, because someone insulted me, because someone has stopped loving me, because someone didn’t value me….. But… what you don’t know is that… YOU CAN BE HAPPY……. even if… you’re sick, although… it’s hot, even if… you don’t have money, even though… someone insulted you, although… someone did not love you, or have not valued you. Life is like riding a bike… you fall, only if you stop pedaling. Start your day, your week… this month this new year with a smile and don’t allow anyone or anything to erase it from your face.
