Happiness is not something that just happens, but yet it can be created even in hardship. We are all surrounded by many small pleasures in life, even during the hardest moments. Friends Gathering at getting together and the other one is going out with our dearest ones.

I was sitting in what appeared calm but of course cosy place. Sitting in a nice cafe with the background is this natural green of elements. While they were very relaxed sipping drinks on a table their looks indicated relaxed state of ease. In moments such as these, we are reminded that pure joy is not only not found in affluence but in the real relationships with those we love.
Within the hustle and bustle of the rhythm & demands of existence, making time at a friends place is a easy form of therapy which refreshes the mind.

Discussing, in laughter or at least just discussing the stories we had together lightens our weight. Also, being near to nature or in a place such like in that picture have the psychological benefit to us. The fresh air and greenery are soothing our ears, making us feel more calm.

We often concentrate so much on the problems that we neglect the small things which actually make us happy. We are capable of being happy in basic things, say drinking a cup of coffee at the old haunt, waking up and hearing birds chirping or merely talking to old friends.

Happiness is not only about big success, millions dollars or getting rich but also about being able to savor each and every second we have.

It makes us realise that even in the simplest of life, we CAN be happy on our own.

So as not to forget that no matter how easy life, we can be happy. Maybe just spending time with friends, in the simplest of gatherings or an unscripted chuckle, or even when silence reveals how beautiful nature can be.

If you are feeling life is so brutal, be reminded Happiness is happening around. So maybe in some small gathering with friends, maybe it falls from a light-hearted laugh that happened spontaneously and unwritten; or perhaps somewhere where you can simply appreciate nature being beautiful, wherever that places on a pause for you. It's the way you manage it that determines whether or not happiness happens.
