Life brims with happiness that we often find ourselves overwhelmed with joy. Despite all that has happened, we have every reason to indulge in happiness. Our grief-stained happy moments in the past give us enough reasons to celebrate the present.
Never permit yourself to wallow in the disconcerting past you can never change. Rather, reflect on it perpetually. Only then will you realize you have to celebrate the present. However hard it is to find happiness, you have to seek it so that you won’t succumb to a life of eternal distress. If you can’t find the reason to celebrate the present, make sure you are not only looking on the extraordinary.
