Happy ...

You are HAPPY when you encounter happening that happens the way you want it to happen. That was what my trainer said when I attended a course recently. Trainers like to make simple things sound 'chim' so as to make themselves look ‘I-am-worth-every-cent-your-company-pays-me’. Simply put, you feel happy when you get what you want. Right? =p

No wonder I was elated when I shook A-Do’s hand and the ‘happiness’ lasted me for a long, long time. To some, A-Do’s just a construction-foreman-turned-lucky-singer, nothing great about him. To others, who’s A-Do anyway? One man’s meat is another man’s poison. Guess everyone has their unique set of HAPPY happenings.

As we grow older, we want more out of life. We become unhappy when we don't get them. I don't how to be happy. If I knew, there won’t be so many teary, moody, PMS and negative posts here. If happiness is easy, there won’t be so many websites/books on ‘How To Be Happy’.

What I do know is … I shouldn’t be doing the following when I am feeling down.

1. I shouldn’t keep things to myself. I went to Kim’s place last week to talk to her cos I was feeling down. I felt better talking to her.

2. I shouldn’t dwell on the past, especially on those incidents where I made a wrong decision. To err, is human. If I can forgive others, I can forgive myself.

3. I shouldn’t have negative thoughts about myself. Negative thoughts will only make things worse.

4. I shouldn’t do things to make others as unhappy as me. Erm, that’s pretty difficult for a vengeful scorpio like me.

5. I shouldn’t listen to sad songs. I put 陈奕迅’s 好久不见 on repeat those few days after I bumped into E and I succeeded in getting myself upset over the whole incident.

Here’s one of the How to be Happy sites I stumbled upon.
