The Delve Into Clouds

by Rhyah Austrie Reyes

Minding the habit from the quotation of Mahatma Gandhi, wherein he stated that "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony", would definitely stitch an impact on everyone's lives. In fact, it has been instilled in my heart to be happy with the things I do since I was a kid.

Being the eldest kid in the family, I always knew that happiness leads to contentment. Apart from the events that happened to me as a toddler up to young adulthood does not necessarily mean that I should always feel happy, for there will always be times that things would not go like you planned.

However, as life is a rollercoaster ride, we should be able to see things with positivity and happiness, for us to cherish everything that we do. For some, getting material things is what makes them happy and we have to respect them. But for me, what makes me happy is investing time into myself to be better; by serving the community; hanging out with friends and family; fulfilling my goals; being optimistic as much as I can; and lastly, valuing the time that I have in this world.

As a volunteer of different youth organizations here in the Philippines, my idea of happiness is by the act of service in being part of the change and peace-building. In my friends and family, I do love going out with them to build a happy and strong relationships as we have to live this life to the fullest. Lastly, as to myself, I pledged that I would always try in every opportunity that is aligned to my interests, for me to have improvements on what I envision.

If we can make progress regularly, we would constantly feel alive and that's the secret to making it a habit. Above all, indulging in the things that one loves becomes the key to a happy life. Hence, love and happiness are directly linked to each other. Without love, happiness would not exist and might not result in someone's contentment.

On the whole, the key to happiness lies in doing what one loves. A lot of people end up having a chaotic life, filled with regrets; this happens because they settle for something that they do not genuinely like. We must spend our time on things that make us feel genuinely happy.

~love, rhyah.
