How to be happy ?

 Another stunning day has passed,

the splendid, joyful sun is bound to leave us.

The vibrant, miraculous time of dusk has arrived

and it is perhaps the most magnificent, glorious time of the day around us.

It is a superb wonder God has created.

Dusk, twilight or sunset, whatever name you call it,

it is beauty, overflowing and colorful and poignant beauty that is all around us.

Miraculous, multicolored hues of interwoven red, orange, yellow and blue surround us

the atmosphere is clear like a precious gem, enchanting magic engulfs us.

 

The day has passed and it’s exactly this time of the day that makes everyone think and wonder:

What did one accomplish in the day that passed, what did one do in his life so far?

 

Whose hand exactly draws the path of life of each day? It is a question that comes for us to ponder.

Is it the hand of God, is it destiny, is it fate or is it our very own efforts that determine who we are.

 

The question lies around us for ages, philosophers and prophets have tried to answer it…

My answer is simplistic: I just don’t know.

 

What I believe I know to be true is that if for everyday that passes and till the sky becomes starlit,

there is a very simple way one can improve his own life path and see his self-fulfillment grow.  

When the magical time of dusk grandly arrives, one should calmly reflect upon what good he did during that very day, what good he did bestow.

How during that very day that passed he comforted another human being, how he extended a helping hand,

how he offered, how he cared and how he did all that he could, little or grand.

I’m sure it makes one feel better, it offers one a warm feeling of accomplishment,

it makes one sleep better at night, it brings satisfaction, relaxation, enlivenment.

 

When the colorful time of dusk arrives each and every day, one should surely reflect in one’s own special way,

upon what good one has tried to accomplish during that very same day.

And, most importantly, how helping others has improved his very own life in the most definite, positive way.
