Happiness is a Skill

My fav quote: Happiness is a skill. Read it in an awesome book called If Minds Had Toes.

The most relevant quote to my life. And it truly is a skill to be happy.

Its up to us to decide what makes us happy and how happy. The problem comes in when we don’t realise that in-built capacity to be happy. Its often easier to feel happy abt smth. But much tougher to stop ourselves from not feeling happy due to other things. That is the point when this skill becomes our salvation. In other words, happiness can be the pathway as well as the destination.

Its like how you conjure a patronus to keep away the dementors lol. My patronus is my memory of all the good and happy moments of my life. It keeps the blues at bay lol

It’s a tough one to achieve. But indispensable once acquired. There is no point in brooding and crying. Only makes us weaker and vulnerable. The inner strength and drive to be happy has to be there. With that, we can always find ways and means of being happy after any storm.
