We all come from some kind of turbulent seas.
Be it humble beginnings. Mistakes made. Some may succeed, fall, rise up, then fail again. Others might be facing their worst demons. Having the strength to overcome those rough waters is the greatest success one can achieve.
“A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world.” ~ Atticus
The world can be a cruel, harsh place. It can bring about despair and a crushing sort of sadness that can overwhelm and destroy the good. However, there is a defense, a shield to keep the monsters of hate and revenge at bay; defeating them in the end.
A soul that is filled with compassion, joy, and love, opposes all else. A happy soul is the light that beams out into the darkness and shows the shadows for what they are.
A happy soul is one that allows kindness and goodness to bubble over. It draws it’s strength from its gentleness. A happy soul doesn’t ignore the negative or the cruelties of reality, it simply acknowledges that they exist and then turns it’s attentions and efforts to the positives. A happy soul brings with it the ability to share and create kindness and happiness. It’s as contagious as a smile or a pure, delightful laugh. The ripples that a happy soul sends out into the world helps to heal.
The best part about a happy soul is that it starts with you. Choose joy over sadness. Seek out the goodness. Create a shield of positivity within your soul. See how the world around you changes for the better. It may only be in small ways, but it will change and you will be so much the better for it.
