Choosing to be Happy…

As time approaches to me leaving my family in UK, I cant help but feel sad… Stupid really! Its not as though I wont be returning! The truth is I never thought Id have to leave in these circumstances… And as I sit here reflecting – Im NEVER like this normally! I think back to my yesteryears and never have I let things affect me, like it does during this period… Talking to frens and family have made me realise something – this must stop! I need to be more positive!

We all want to be happy! Too often we believe that if some event happens, then we’ll be happy or at peace… We base our future happiness on things and conditions. I often say, “I’ll be happy if I win the lottery” etc. The problem is that as soon as you get what you want, you soon become disappointed, disillusioned and dissatisfied again. You probably dont even know why! Its cos you have attached conditions to your happiness…

No-one and nothing can make me happy or at peace. Happiness and peace come from inside. I am responsible for myself, I can either be happy or not – so I decide to be happy!! Easier said than done right?!?!? Well, there will always be things to test us… but thinking back – I used to let it go over my head… I want to have that back…

Singapore is a new adventure for me… I can no longer look at the road ahead and worry and be scared… I have the love and support of family and frens… Like my Hupps and I would say – “let’s seize the opportunity! Gan bate!”

I choose to be happy and will not let what other people say affect me….
