Happiness is in your hands

Wish all of you to be happier in your workplace life in 2017.

Did you ever feel unhappy in our workplace life? I was unhappy three months ago because I have the lack of money.

My father gave me one call on September in last year. That was the first call he gave me. It was about the money. He said:” Do you have ten thousands? I have no much money. If you have ten thousands, please send them to us to have the house decorated, if you don’t, try to borrow.”

I was very unhappy but I could not be angry with him. Because he is my father, even I didn’t love him very much before. So I said, “I will try my best to send the money to you, but I have no so much money. And I cannot borrow so much. “

As a daughter, I wanted to meet the requirement of my dad, but I knew it’s hard for me. So I felt very distressed about myself. Why can’t I meet my parents’ needs when I can earn money? What can I do to change this? What can I do to improve the salary and my ability? These questions confused me many days.

Fortunately, I focused on practicing in Toastmasters club. Catching the opportunity and concluding the experience and thinking how I could do better next time. At the same time, I gave up the part-time job. Even though my income is reduced, the happiness in my heart is increased. As I enjoy the process of growing gradually.

When I spent the time on organizing the activity and joining the meeting, I find the meaning of what I do. The meaning is that I am happier than before. The meaning is that I realize that happiness is in my own hands.

All of us are different, so our definition to happiness is also different. I feel happy when I can achieve the goal one by one, I feel happy when I am on the way to live in the life I dream. As far as I am concerned, happiness is not only the far purpose, but also the stage of incredible growth.

What I do today is just prepared for my tomorrow. So I only focus on my own thing and ignore the business of my parents and others.

I can’t ensure whether my boss will improve the salary or not when I tell her my expectation.

I can’t ensure whether my parents will be satisfied with ten thousands to have the home decorated or not.

I can’t ensure what the difficult will be tomorrow.

What I can ensure is that I can practice to improve myself now.

What I can ensure is that I know the meaning of what I doing now.

What I can ensure is that I have more confidence than before now.

If you are not happy in your workplace, no matter it is about the salary or the other things. You could try to find your own definition to the happiness firstly. Then focus on the things you can affect or control or ensure. Ignore the other things which are beyond of your business. Believer what you do now is prepared for your tomorrow. You will realize that the happiness is always in your hands.

To be or not to be, the happiness is always in your hands.
