Today one of my dear colleague decided to leave the company to peruse his new interest in life. I felt sad that his is leaving us but at the same time I am happy for him as he can now fulfill his dream.
That make me ponder, we can be sad and happy at the same time. Human mind or feeling is such a complex system that it allows the opposite feeling be present harmonily. That explained why we cry when we are over joy and laugh out loud when we are very upsad. I was just thinking if the two extreme opposite feeling can co-exist then nothing is impossible. And based on this assumption I will say happiness is definite a choose and not just a feeling from an uncontrollable source.
If we concluded that happiness is a choose then why isn't everyone choosing it daily or every possible moment.
Is it because every choice we made is followed by this thing called responsibility? And when we choose to take responsibility we can no longer hide behind a shield or blame the outcome to someone else but to face it all ourself?
I guess if you are not happy today or with your life maybe it is time to do some soul searching and stop blaming others for making you unhappy. If you are a happy soul, let me congratulate you for your brave action for taking responsibility for your own happiness and your own life.
I read that life is all about choices, every seconds, every minute. I am still searching and learning to make 'happy' choices. Hope to get more inspiration from your blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, life is about choices. You can only choose for yourself and not others. And choosing to do nothing is still a choice. And when one chooses to do nothing and yet blame on others, he/she is not taking responsibility for his/her choice.
ReplyDeleteEven if someone did something very bad to you, and you got angry, that's because you choose to be angry or you choose to react like a victim. It has nothing to do with that someone "making" you angry. Once we take ownership for our thoughts and actions, we will lead a much happier life.
