Are You in Charge of Your Own Happiness?

English Vinglish is by far one of the best movies made this year and coming out from the cinema, it got me thinking...a lot...Have you ever realized how incompetent you are in a certain field? Have you ever felt so flawed that you shy away from yourself? Have you looked in a mirror and wished for a better version of yourself? You'd by lying if you said you haven't. Looking back at the past years, I realized I grew up with a lot of insecurities. Better looking friends, skinnier relatives, lesser grades compared to my classmates and so on. I was miserable, up to a certain extent. But you know whose fault was it? It was my very own. I was so busy looking up at others and forgot to take charge of my own happiness. I'm way past all that now and have learnt to be a happier person and for those of you who are still there, read on! :) Happiness is only defined by you and you alone. Remember, you are good at heart and your flaws, no matter what they may be, make you an even more wonderful individual. Be sincere and hold on tight to what you believe in, because like it or not, you are in charge of your own happiness. The world is sometimes a cruel place and what you do may not be pleased by everyone out there, but it does not mean that they can make you feel inferior. Live your life at ease and cherish the small things in life. When you learn to do that, the old life you are living now will feel unbelievable strange, in a good way, because the world as you see it, is from a whole new perspective. I know, I know, some of you may be thinking, "easier said than done!". Oh I agree, but we certainly must try. Remember, no body can make you feel inferior without your consent. Take charge and BE HAPPY!!! You are loved. For at least one person, you are their world.
