Happiness in a nutshell

''Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase...it means no worries for the rest of your days'' simple phrase from ''The Lion King'' movie but wonderful and significant at times when we forget that even in the saddest time of our life, happiness is there. It's just a matter of choice.

I was talking to a friend when she complained how life is so stressful and adding that everyone that she knows is having a tough time- one has lost loved ones, another almost gone broke, and few suffering major illness. All these bad news are making her life miserable and depressed.

Life can never be easier but there's something fascinating about it. I told her that the happiest people I knew had more problems than I or she did! But they are happy because at some point they decided “happy” is the only way to live. Happiness doesn’t just happen to us, and it never will happen if we think, ''I'll be happy when I have less problems'' .

We don’t find happiness in the absence of problems, we find it in spite of your problems. We choose it. We make the choice to be happy first for to seek joy is a daily decision.

Life is beautiful so smile :)

Sejenak untukmu Aku bukan bukan Melayu kerana aku cukup Melayu, cukup Cina, cukup India, dan cukup lain-lain kaum. Aku anak Malaysia. Aku bukan bukan Melayu kerana aku atuh pada rukun. Rukun aku rukun negara. Usah disindir kepercayaanku kerana aku bukan calang-calang orang. Aku anak Malaysia. Aku bukan bukan Melayu. Aku tahu Melayu, aku hormati Melayu, dan aku cintai Melayu kerana aku anak Malaysia. Aku bukan anak India. Bahasa ibuku Tamil, kampungku pekan Melayu, sekolah rendahku sekolah Cina. Kerjaku merantau dunia. Kini sudah dekad lamanya aku dikota London, tetapi ba
