The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are. Because of your smile you make the world more beautiful.

When the word happiness comes to our mind, it displays the images of a smiling or a laughing face. Isn’t it true? Happiness is referred to as a good state of mind and body. People often smile, sing and dance when they are happy. The definition of happiness is different for everyone. Happiness is about getting inner satisfaction. It is expressed in the form of joy, excitement, pride, gratitude etc. When we are happy, everything around us seems to be happy. Happiness is also a key to good health and success in our life.

It is assumed that happiness lies in doing big things. Many of us think that costly toys only bring happiness. But it does not mean that it is the only way to be happy. I believe that happiness lies in enjoying small-small things in our life. The happiness that I get by doing these things is a very beautiful experience that makes me smile and gives me inner joy. I feel happy when I help my mom, water the plants, eat my favourite dish, gossip with friends, greet Aaya masi and bus drivers. We need to find ways of getting happy instead of waiting for it to come by itself.

When it comes to the question that what makes me feel happy or smile, I get really confused. As my name itself suggests me – smiley baby. My name “Aashi” means love and smile and so I! It will be very difficult to list those entire things that make me happy but I will be listing a few of them here.

My parents are the most precious gift by god to me on this earth. The quality time that I spend with my family makes me feel most happy. The intense care and love they provide me is incredible. Cuddling with my mom gives me happiness. The smiling face of her makes me smile.

When everything bores me, I just grab a paint brush, paper and colourful paints as my favourite activity makes me feel happy. According to me art is an expression of emotions. Whenever I can’t express my feelings in words, it seems in my creations.

My hobby always makes me feel happy and so reading! The most joyful place of my home is my own library. I can talk with my books, learn from them and even I can take a tour of the entire world with them! Some of the books make me laugh and giggle. I just love to read.

When we dance, our brain releases hormones that gives a feeling of comfort, relaxation and fun. When it combines with music, it gives a soothing effect. I feel very happy when I sing and my mom plays the keyboard. It gives me more joy when I dance on my favourite song. Music is something that heals me well.

I love enjoying the beauty of nature. The trees, birds, small animals and their activities make me happy. It is great joy to see “ Tuppy” – my neighbour’s pet dog. Every morning I feel very fresh because of green trees, fresh air and chirping birds while waiting for my school bus. The melodious singing of birds makes me happy and connect me closer to mother nature.

We can find happiness in every moment of our life. I believe that kindness gets us closer to God. I love to show selfless kindness towards others. I like to be polite and offer emotional support to others. It can be something as tiny as passing a smile to the old lady who sits all alone in her balcony or giving a small bite of my bread to the sparrow that tweets in my garden everyday. It is my pleasure to help my teachers in their work and helping my peers for studies. Donating my clothes, shoes, bags and toys to the needy ones gives me inner joy. I feel touched when every Thursday I go with my parents to distributes food packets to the poor. Such acts of kindness don’t get much but can make a big difference in the others lives. Being kind to others gives me immense happiness.

When you want a change from your day to day life, what can be done? Simple, plan a trip! I love to travel and explore different places. Luxurious resorts give me comfort and coziness. I am crazy for shopping with my mom. An evening date with my mom makes me happy. Night outs with my friends or a school trip is always cherishing. Walking on sand with bare feet, playing with clay and slime makes me happy.

Playing with dolls and teddies is always fun for me. Talking with Happy makes me happy! Don’t get confused, Happy is my teddy! Are you smiling? I am sure, you are. Spending some time with myself is more important for my happiness, whether it’s meditation or standing in front of the mirror and talking to myself gives me happiness.

The best way to keep ourselves stress free is to be happy. Success and wealth are what we achieve in our life but happiness is something that we feel in our life. Happiness is living gracefully by enjoying every moment of life. Ultimately, it is the most beautiful feeling in the universe!
