Happiness in the Moments That Matter

Happiness has a different meaning and definition depending on the individual's take and opinion, and regardless of that difference, whatever uplifts our spirit and makes us excited is definitely a source of happiness. And like we all know, we have different things that bring our happiness; to some it's having money, to others it's accomplishments, achievement, or being with loved ones or friends. All of these are quite relevant and play a huge role in bringing about happiness, and below I'd be sharing some experiences that make me happy.

One such experience was the joy of gaining admission into the university. As I can't remember the majority of my childhood experiences, one of the factors that makes me happy is when I gained admission into the university and was doing my matriculation. I felt so elated more because many looked down on me and didn't expect me to go that far in life. I'm among that many, so finally proving everyone wrong, including myself, was fabulous. Another experience closely related to that was graduating from the university. I was super happy when I graduated from the university without having any issues, such as an extra year, and still graduated with flying colors. This experience made me realize how happy I was.

The joy of fatherhood is another experience that turns the tides around for me emotionally. Prior to my daughter joining our family, I was going through some form of challenges, but all of that seemed to disappear immediately when she joined our family, and I was filled with a kind of joy and happiness I haven't tasted before in my life.

Talking about what I think regarding if happiness comes more from what we achieved or some moment we experience. I'd say, like I said earlier, people have different definitions of happiness, and it's not in my place to place one above the other, beside the truth is that each of these and many more are ways we can find happiness, so that's my take on it.
