Am I Happy?


I woke up early to meet the sky and chirping birds. I went to our dining room to look for any food that my father prepared for our breakfast. Everything seems so simple and there are no more interesting ideas that are circulating at that time.
Later on I saw an old book of mine, actually it is not mine, it is owned by my brother but he really never put any effort to read it so I picked it and eventually realized that it has a very good notion about what I need to realize in every single steps in my life. The book was entitled “The Greatest Secret” and with a subtitle “God’s Law of Attraction for Lasting Happiness, Fulfillment, Health, and Abundance in Life.
The truth is I did not completely finish reading the book since at that time I need to manage my time in school and at the same time as a regular employee. What I remembered about that book is that it holds some information that is relevant to the idea of the quantum physics, “Law of Attraction”. It is a constrained idea that was applied to inform about how we behave, have faith to attract Blessings and reminding us to walk closely to God.
I am a person who really plans everything about my path in life and try to put all my effort to fulfill it. I adopted this idea in some of inspirational, motivational, autobiographies and management books like 100 ways to motivate yourself by Steve Chandler, The Greatest Miracle by OG Mandino, Think and Grow rich by Steve Chandler and more. Many of my principles came from their ideas that shaped my world view. Using their life maps, I have managed to build my own map of life that I always use in my every step.
At that time I thought everything in my life was well planned that I can see my future is as clear like the falling rain drops. Everything seems perfect unless the momentum was disturbed inside my heart, all is well.
But one day, a close friend of mine asks me, “Are you happy?” … A question that really cut my flesh into pieces that every time I go to sleep, hold a book or close my eyes it always comes back like an irritating fly and ask a an infinite looping question that is unbreakable unless I answered it.
I always ask it to myself and I still don’t know the answer. Different sub ideas rooted from that question and until now, I’m lost. I still don’t know what I want.


Does continuously being serious in life cuts the chain between you and happiness?
Do I have a real friend?
Does my aim in life must focus in qualitative or in quantitative?
What I only holds now is my faith, my faith that always makes complete, My faith in God and his Gospel
