A happy life is not as hard to come by as people seem to think it is. Life is not always easy, no one ever said it was going to be, at least they didn’t tell me it would be. I have seen people that don’t have a home or money to put food in there belly, but they seem to be in high spirits and have a good positive outlook on life. It amazed me how they can be this happy and have nothing. While talking to a few of these people, I found out they had, at one point had what most people think of as a good happy life; a house, money, nice things, a family, and friends. Through dumb decisions or bad luck they have lost all but their family and friends. That led me to believe having people that love you and that you love is one major part of being happy. Therefor i have made two of my ingredients family and friends. Again let me say it’s not always easy, but it has proven to be worth it to me.
I have also added, always give your all in everything that you do. Thank you dad, who always said, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” If you do not, is it really worth it? I don’t feel as though it is. When the task I have done is finished, and I have not given my all, I look back and think I could have done better. Then that does not make me happy. I want to be happy.
My husband and I don’t have much, but we have worked hard for what we have. Knowing that we are working hard in this crazy thing we call life with people to love is enough for us. There have been times that it as been hard but if you think about it, it could always be worse. So look at your life and be thankful for what you have and make a choice to be happy.
