Happiness is the bigger plan, but it is also the journey.The big and small joys all add up and make your life a big melting pot of happiness. Do I deserve happiness?

This is a question is a sad one.

Don’t let it enter your heart.It will eat you from inside, and make you a red beacon for troublemakers and all the bad sorts.We are Gods children and we deserve happiness.

Love happiness and peace are all inside out projects.

Yes, I deserve to be happy.I am a good person and never harm anyone intentionally and do my best to follow the path shown by God.I deserve all the happiness in this world and beyond.

9 Things I do every day to be happy from inside:

1)When I treat a patient I give my very best professional advice.It may or may not be what they want to hear.But it is will definitely be the most sincere and honest advice I can give from my professional knowledge and experience.

2)Pray.Not as a 5 minutes activity, but like a conversation with God

3)Exercise I never ever skip this one.If I can’t walk, I lift weights, spot jog or do skipping.But nothing will stop me from my exercise fix.

4)Play and cuddle my daughter as many times as possible.I know the love and care I show towards her will help make her secure emotionally.Plus she is not going to be this age forever.Better get my cuddles!

5)Never miss catching up with a friend.Tidy up my home.One drawer at a time.Makes me feel less out of control.

6)Write every day, on my blog, guest post, book, whatever.Just write.

7)Read every day a few pages of a physical book.

8)Dress up and take care to look good.

9)Look after my balcony garden.

My own little green corner has made me very happy.It is a source of countless moments of joys throughout the day.

Best part, the birds, and butterflies in the neighborhood keep popping over and saying hello.

When I live with God in my heart, honesty in my work and health on my side, why would I let anything or anyone rob me of my happiness?

The 3 Quotes which always make me happy:

“Peace is something like happiness; you cannot say “I will be happy when…” and you can’t say “I will be peaceful when…” Your happiness shouldn’t depend on the situation you’re in nor on the circumstances that surround you. In the same breath, you cannot wait for everything around you to become peaceful in order for you to say “I am peaceful.” In both happiness and peace, there is a heart of strength, determination and steadfastness; a heart that has the power to make things happen. You have to be at peace. You have to be happy. Now.” C. JoyBell C.

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” Abraham Lincoln

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
