    Are you Happy ?

    Click to continue
    On a certain occasion, during an elegant welcoming reception
    for the new Director of Marketing of an
    important London company, some of the wives
    of the other directors, who wanted to get acquainted with the
    new spouse, asked her with some hesitation:

    Does your spouse make you happy, truly happy?


    The husband, who at the moment was
    not at her side, but was sufficiently
    near to hear the question, paid
    attention to the conversation, sitting up
    slightly, feeling secure, even filling his
    chest lightly in pride, knowing that his
    spouse would answer affirmatively,
    since she had always been there for
    him during their marriage.

    Nevertheless, to both his and the


    others’ surprise, she replied simply
     
    “No, no he doesn’t make me
    happy...
    The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone were listening to
    the spouse’s response.
    The husband was petrified.
    He couldn’t believe what his wife was saying,
    especially at such an important occasion for him.

    To the amazement of her husband and of


    everyone, she simply placed enigmatically on
    her head an elegant black silk scarf and
    continued:

    “No, he doesn’t make me happy …I AM


    HAPPY.”

    The fact that I am happy or not,


    doesn’t depend on him, but on me.
    “I am the only person upon which my happiness depends.
    I make the choice to be happy in each situation and in each moment of my life.
    If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or
    circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble!

    “Everything that exists in this life changes continually:


    humans, wealth, my body, the climate, pleasures, etc.
    I could enumerate an infinite list…
    “Over my life I have learned a couple of things:

    I decide to be happy and the rest is a matter of


    "experiences or circumstances;”
    like helping, and understanding,
    accepting, listening, consoling;
    and with my spouse,
    I have lived and practiced this
    many times….

    Happiness will always be found in


    forgiveness and in loving yourself and others.

    - …It’s not the responsibility of my spouse to make me happy... He also has his
    “experiences or circumstances.” I love him and he loves me, often inspite of his
    circumstances and of mine.
    “He changes, I change, the environment changes, everything changes;
    Having forgiveness and true love, and observing these changes,
    that can be, big or little, but always happen,
    we must face them with the love that exists in each one of us.
    If the two of us love and forgive each other,
    the changes will only be “experiences or circumstances”
    that enrich us and give us strength.
    Otherwise we would only be “living together.”
    - For some, divorce is the only solution;
    (…in reality it is the easiest…)

    To truly love, is difficult,


    It is to forgive unconditionally, to live,
    To take the “experiences or circumstances” as they are,
    Facing them together  and being happy with conviction.
    There are those who say:

    “I cannot be happy because I am sick, because I have no money,


    Because it’s too cold,  because they insulted me,
    Because someone stopped loving me,
    Because someone didn’t appreciate me!”
    But what you don’t know is that you can be happy even though you are sick,
    whether it is too hot, whether you have money or not,
    Whether someone has insulted you,
    Or someone didn’t love you, or hasn’t valued you.

    BEING HAPPY
    is an attitude about life and each one of us must decide !

    BEING HAPPY,
    depends on you !
