Are You Happy?

Are you happy?... Am I happy? Had been thinking about this question since a friend of mine asked me, "Malipayon lage ka plang?". Am I? Yes, I am. I am happy. Happy not because I have a perfect life but because I am contented with what I have.


“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

I am not famous. I am not rich. I don't own luxury cars and very cool gadgets. I know a few people, most of them are strangers and just a few are trusted friends. I don't have a perfect family. I never had a perfect and complete family for more than half of my life. I am not a boss in my work, just a regular employee that takes commands. Nothing special, very normal individual, but happy. Why? Cause instead of wishing for more, I stayed contented. I already have what I needed. I have a few but very trustworthy and reliable friends. An incomplete yet the most caring, loving and supportive family. A not so high paying job but definitely gives me satisfaction. And I don't have any health problems of any kind. At this moment, this is all that I need and it is much more than what I asked from Him. I have more than enough reasons to smile than to frown.

How about you? Are you happy? ^_^
