A LETTER TO HAPPINESS

Dear Happiness, I am still waiting for the day you will come and stay with me.  I have never met you since childhood.  You didn’t give me the privilege of having rich parents.  And even though I have been able to do well for myself, I am still not happy because after 6 years of marriage, though I have 2 beautiful girls, I don’t have a son.

Dear Happiness, you know I love a size 8 woman and that’s why I married my wife.  But after giving birth to our 4 children all through cesarean section, she has only been able to lose the baby weight to size 10.  Now I don’t enjoy making love to her.

I believe many of us will be excited at the opportunity to write letters to Happiness because most of us have become so tired in our search for happiness that we wish like Aladdin, we had a Happiness magic lamp.

Some of us will soliloquy, “Happiness Genie, I want a wife with the voice of Whitney Houston, the body of Beyonce with the wealth of Oprah Winfrey.  Or Happiness Genie, transform my husband’s body to that of Christiano Ronaldo and give him the wealth of Bill Gates.”

Funny enough, some people can have all these supposedly ideal features in their spouses and yet still cheat with someone who lacks them.

King Ahab in 1 Kings 21 had most of the best vineyards in Israel and yet he was not happy and kill Naboth for his.  Guess what? Having Naboth’s didn’t make him happier either.

One of the secrets of happiness in life is contentment.  Yes CONTENTNESS!! The eyes of man is never satisfied.  Most people think contentness means mediocrity.  This is not true.

Contentment is learning to appreciate them and be happy with what you have today whiles working on improving on the future.  In other words, making a conscious decision to enjoy what you have, knowing that others might never be able to have them.

“…To be content with what you can provide” is a phrase in our marriage vow.  Within this phrase in our marriage lies one of the keys to happiness.

Happiness in marriage is a product of 2 people who are content with each other at every given moment.  Instead of constantly murmuring about what your spouse lacks, start thanking God for the virtues they possess and you will realize how privileged you are to have them.

There are people who resent their parents because they are poor.  Who told you that having rich parents would have made you happy in life?  I have seen physically challenged people achieve great things in life whiles some able bodied people are sad because some parts of their bodies are not nice to them.
