Cheerfulness
contradicts with seniority and intelligence.
Being bubbly, lively and constant
radiations of energy are childlike behaviors, deemed to be lacking maturity and
wisdom.
Hence, we
tend to avoid being cheerful or wary of how we portray our own
cheerfulness.
However,
with these intentions of wary, are we not just hindering the value of
cheerfulness?
Do not read
too much into it and enjoy it is it is.
Cheerfulness
is a feeling, a state, a virtue, a personality. It has the capacity to bring us
out of the worst situations. It provides encouragement, motivation and passion
to go on. It reduces stress not only for us but also for others.
Cheerfulness
can even be one’s ultimate life goal.
Cheerfulness
can come and go easily, but should not just be a state; it should be an
attitude and trait that maximizes the value of cheerfulness.
3 means of sustainable cheerfulness
Do things that get you into the state of
Transcendence
Transcendence
is a state when your sense of self fades away, and when you see things at a
higher and deeper perspective, connecting
yourself to something bigger picture, something more than the reality. It can be through doing a wide variety
of activities, meditation, cooking, volunteering, exercising, and reading.
Figure your place of belonging
Belonging
means being valued for who you are. The environment is totally in your hands.
You can decide when, where, how, what, who. That place can be quiet/lively,
alone/with others, doing nothing/engaging in activities.
Turn life into memories
Memories are
things that we want to keep and retain. When life becomes our memory, we would
want to make sure that it would be a happy one. Focus on how you can make every
event become a memory that you want to cherish.
