A recipe can be a guide to achieve a certain food dish, in the same way sometimes we believe that there will come a specific moment to be happy and we let pass the opportunities that life presents us because we believe that to feel happy must happen something extremely extraordinary or out of this world.
If you are waiting for that moment, you are wasting time to be happy because happiness is at any moment, we just need to see the good side of things. While it is true that there are circumstances in which we can feel that we are happy, for example, a courtship, an academic or work project completion, so are the moments in which you allow them. With the simple fact of seeing the beauty of the moments, of accepting that we have life and that every morning we wake up with only that we should feel happy.
