Happiness is indeed around you |
People say life is simple and happiness is even simpler.
People also say that happiness comes from within.
Happiness is indeed around you.
People also say that happiness comes from within.
Happiness is indeed around you.
Do you agree with that notion?
I do!
So wherever you go and whatever you do, never forget that happiness is with you.
You are the key of your own happiness!
Not others, not something else.
Seringkali kita lupa kalau kebahagiaaan itu ada di dalam diri kita sendiri.
Kita sibuk mencari kebahagiaan ke sana kemari.
Bahkan seringkali kita menggantungkan kebahagiaan kita pada orang lain.
Atau pada sesuatu yang lain.
Akibatnya kita menjadi rentan untuk ‘terganggu’ kebahagiaannya ketika orang yang kita percayakan ternyata tidak bisa menjaga ‘kebahagiaan’ kita.
I used to think that way.
Naively believe that I could only be happy because someone else is happy for us.
Then I realized that I made a big mistake.
I learned the hard way that I was responsible for my own happiness.
Now, I go easy on things and learn to love myself better.
My Rabb bestows me with all these blessings that should make me be grateful and happy.
And when we’re happy, those around us will be happy too.
Pheww, what a long intro for my submission to day 27 of #BPN30dayChallenge2018.
Small things that make you happy!
Let’s see what I have on my list to prove that is happiness is indeed around you.
Wanna know when I feel happy?
When my kids say ‘I love you’ and hug me
Nothing soothes my soul instantly than my kids’ warm embrace and magic words.
A simple I love you before bed or when they go to school or when they facetime me while I'm at work gives me extra energy.
No matter how far I am or how crazily I was tangled with works, my kids can help me ease the tensions with their kind heart and innocence.
I am super lucky to have such wonderful kids like Bo et Obi.
Alhamdulillaaaah.
When I can take a little nap
This is one luxury I seldom enjoy.
Perhaps because my body is so used to working and working for long hours.
But there are times when I really need to take a break.
And a little nap will do me good.
Terkadang saat akhir pekan tiba, yang aku inginkan haya ekstra tidur.
Terutama bobo siang.
Terutama bobo siang.
Walaupun badan tidak begitu terbiasa, tapi kalau bisa tidur siang itu anugrah banget!
Tidak jarang aku masih semangat ini dan itu, tapi Udi mengingatkan saya untuk istirahat saja di rumah. And that's exactly what I need!
When I can read my comic uninterrupted
Who loves comics here?
I do!
And I do collect them so I have many at home as well.
Komik yang aku punya pun macam-macam, mulai dari detektif Conan, doraemon, Donald bebek, Archie and friends, dan juga komik-komik agama untuk anak-anak.

And the only thing that stop me from reading them is because I'm running out of time.
Family matters, tons of works, blogging target and more make 24 hours seem to be passing by s0 quickly.
But whenever I can, I will get my comics, eat my favorite snacks and relax for a while.
When I get free stuff
Do you like to get free stuff?
I bet many of us enjoy it!
Be it in the market, in your office, in an event, in a wedding reception or a party, in your garage, or any place where free stuff are given away. Sometimes, those free goodies are not always useful but we just love to get them.
And that includes me :).
Contoh sederhana misalnya begini. Seringkali, kalau pulang kantor capek-capek tapi harus belanja dulu kan bete ya. Tapi ternyata pas belanja ada promo beli pembersih muka merk kesayangan berhadiah pouch, aku pasti beli hehehe. Walaupun pouch udah banyaaak banget di rumah, tapi waktu dapet hadiahnya aku seneng bangeet. Keliatannnya receh banget yaaa.. tapi it does make me happy. Apalagi kalau datang ke event or expo yang keren, aku suka bangeet goodie bagnya LOL. Yang paling seru waktu datang ke pameran otomotif, traveling, komik dan beauty di NYC. Goodie bags-nya banyaaak aja!
When I get relaxing massage from my hubby
This is a 100% guarantee for making me happy.
My hubby is super talented when it comes to massaging.
And what I love about him is that he knows exactly when I'm super tired and he will voluntarily give me a back or neck rub. Not all the time, of course, because some times he is even more tired than me.
But you know, a little attention from the heart like this is very helpful.
And makes you feel loved so that you're happy.
If you want to know more about happiness and get some cool guide about finding happiness, check happiness, what it means to live a happy life.

Those are 5 simple things that make me happy.
There are more things on the list obviously, like playing with my cats and receiving postcards from friends. or even getting some new purple stuff.
Would you mind telling me what's on your list?
One thing for sure, stay happy and enjoy your blessed life!
