Are you really happy?

And just when I thought I finally got everything back on track.. someone reminded me.. that I wasn't even close to anything.. And this was the question asked, "Juan, what makes you happy? What is it that makes you smile or feel good or just content with life?" ...

Ever wondered what is it that makes you happy? I mean..yessss I love chocolates.. love to be buried in them.. I love music too.. I don't how the world would be, without music.. I love clothes, and shoes..flowers.. like every other normal girl.. But then again, the question was.. Juan, What makes you happy? ..What makes you, YOU??! ..

And yes... I manage give him answer... which I myself am not sure.. did I really answer his question.. or just for the sake of giving an answer..hmmmm

So let's go back to the core of the question.. LOL.. sorry, I realized that I needed to to post something intelligent on my blog..to prevent people from questioning me,..."Juan, are you alrite?"! ..hehehe..

Anyway.. what is happiness?? Is it because you have all the things you like in this world.. so that makes you very very happy.. or could it be..because you've accomplish something or maybe surrounded by your loved ones itself makes you happy..?

I think we all have our very own opinion on happiness.. But if you ask me..happiness is the feeling you received when someone loves you...just the way you are. hehehe..Ok, how in the world..does that makes you happy..

Like when you've got the worst result ever.. and your mom looks at you and say.. "A or B or C ...you're my daughter.. and because of that I love you" ....

Like when you've hurt your friend..over and over... and she looks at you and say.. "Who could ever replace you.. guess I'll have to forgive you..again.."

Like when you just got dumped.. and Your best friend gives you a hug and say.. "That dude must be a gay..and don't worry I am always here.."

Like when you just tripped in front of the whole cafeteria..and the whole crowd laughs at you.. and your boyfriend runs over too you..and help you out..and say.. "Your still the most beautiful woman alive though you're covered in chicken soup.."

Like when you just lost everything else in life.. Your family, friends, home, everything.. and you've lost hope in life.. and on the verge on dying.. you look up to heaven and ask, "Lord have you forgotten me??!" ..

And you feel the breeze.. the wind blowing.. you hear a voice in your head.. "I was there.. I am here now.. and I will always be by your side.. You are never alone my child. I stand here knocking at your door.. waiting for you to invite me.. I long so much to spend time with you.. to guide..to comfort..to help you in every storm of this life.. Can a mother forget the child of her womb? ..even if this happens I would not forget you.. see I've carved your name on the palm of my hand.. I love you. You are mine.. And for you I have laid down my life.. and I will gladly do it..over and over again..if you give me the chance.."

And that is not happiness.. It is JOY.. happiness may not last.. but Joy is everlasting..

And if you have nothing else to do.. take a look at this song.. it's a story about a lost girl..kinda related to me.. might relate to you tooo.. very very inspiring=) or if you feel very far from God.. take a look at the lyrics..

YOU ARE MORE-tenth north avenue..

There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And the shame she can't hide

She says, "How did I get here?
I'm not who I once was.
And I'm crippled by the fear
That I've fallen too far to love"

But don't you know who you are,
What's been done for you?
Yeah don't you know who you are?

CHORUS
You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

Well she tries to believe it
That she's been given new life
But she can't shake the feeling
That it's not true tonight

She knows all the answers
And she's rehearsed all the lines
And so she'll try to do better
But then she's too weak to try

But don't you know who you are?

CHORUS
You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

BRIDGE
'Cause this is not about what you've done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved.

CHORUS
You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

You've been remade
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
You've been remade.

I think its awesome!! ....weeeeee!! tenth north avenue.. You guys never fail to impress me!!
