WANT TO KNOW HOW TO BE HAPPY? | GAUR GOPAL DAS

A lady who was over 90 years old but had a great flair towards dressing up well, applying makeup and arranging her hair in beautiful patterns. She and her husband had been married to each other for 70 years. After the departure of her beloved partner, having no children and no one in the family to care for her, she decided to move to a nursing home. Even on the day when she vacated her home for good, she dressed up elegantly and looked gorgeous. After arriving at the nursing home, she had to wait patiently in the lobby for hours before her room was ready. When an attendant helped her make her way to the room, she gave the lady a visual description of the tiny space that she was meant to occupy. Eyed, the lady expressed with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old who had just been presented with a new puppy. Mrs. Jones, you haven't even seen the room yet. Just wait, the attendant remarked. My joy has nothing to do with the room, the lady replied. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged. It depends on how I arrange. My happiness is something you can decide ahead of time. And I've already decided to love my room, to love the people around me, to love my life. It is a decision that I make every morning when I wake up. You know what? The greatest asset we all have is the power. The lady continued speaking as the attendant listened attentively. I can spend my entire day in bed thinking of the pain I am in. Focusing on those parts of my body that no longer work. Or I can get out of bed and be thankful for those parts that do work. Each day is a gift. And as long as my eyes can still open, I will continue to focus on today. And all the happy memories I have stored in my mind just for this time in my life. The attendant was astounded by the positive attitude of the elderly lady. Whose life from an external point of view was only full of problems and hopelessness. Ladies and gentlemen, only problems happen automatically. Happiness is a choice we all have to make. Only anger happens automatically. Peace is a choice we all have to make. Only hatred happens automatically. Love is a choice we all have to make. Being negative happens automatically. A positive attitude is a choice we all have to make. Complaining is automatic. Gratitude is a choice we all have to make. Choose right and live best.
