Sharing a Social media forward…

At Techno Pacific University, a speaker asked a woman among the audience:

“Does your husband keep you happy?”

The husband, sitting nearby, straightened up confidently. The reason was, his wife had never complained about him. He was happy.

However, the wife clearly said, “No, my husband doesn’t keep me happy.”

The husband was shocked, but the wife continued:

“My husband hasn’t kept me happy. He hasn’t made me happy. But I am happy. My happiness doesn’t depend on him. It’s up to me. Whether I am happy is a matter concerning myself.”

“Being happy at every stage of life is my decision. If I depend on others for my happiness, or on certain things, or certain moments, it means I am in big trouble.”

“Everything around us keeps changing. People, wealth, my body, temperature, my boss, pleasures, friends, my physical and mental health, all of it. It’s a long list.”

“No matter what happens, being happy is my decision. Whether I have a lot or a little, my happiness doesn’t diminish. Whether I go out or stay at home, whether I am poor or rich, my happiness doesn’t diminish.”

“I was happy before marriage, and I remain happy after. I am happy about myself because I am happy with myself.”

“I love my life not because it is easier than others’ lives, but because I have decided to be personally happy. I am responsible for my happiness.”

“When I hold this as a decision in my mind, I remove the burden from others to make me happy. This makes everyone’s life easier. That is why my life has been happy for so many years.”

The applause didn’t stop.

Don’t assign the responsibility of keeping you happy to others.

Whether it’s sunny or rainy, you are unwell, poor, injured, or unloved, do not give up the happiness within your mind.

As long as you respect yourself wholeheartedly, you will find happiness within yourself.

Happiness is within.

It’s not outside!
