The Star Within Us

In the profound silence, amidst stardust and a magical moment, between flashes of light and the infinity of night, Happiness was born. A being so delicate and fragile that we sometimes don’t even notice it, yet when we touch it, our hearts shine like the sun in the first rays of dawn. It is a gift we bring into the world, a piece of heaven to remind us of where we truly belong.

When we are children, Happiness is small and vulnerable, just like us. It sleeps in the cradle of our innocence, dreaming of colors, laughter, and the scent of grass after rain. It loves the miracle of bubbles shimmering in the sunlight and the warm embrace of a mother’s hands that shield us from the world. It is like a little bird, accompanying us on our first steps, quietly singing a melody of joy.

As we grow, Happiness changes. From a childhood companion, it becomes a guide. It is a silent friend, often hidden behind the shadows of our worries, dreams of the future, and unmet desires. Sometimes, we overlook it, but it never leaves us. A single glance at the starry sky, a whisper of the wind reminding us of freedom, or a song that stirs our soul, and Happiness returns, a quiet friend, the bearer of gratitude and peace.

In adulthood, Happiness learns to dance. It balances between joy and pain, between laughter and tears. It sleeps less and works harder. It finds pleasure in unexpected successes, the taste of fresh bread, the breeze of a summer morning. Yet, if we forget to look inward, it begins to fade, weary from seeking our attention. It whispers, pleads, calls, just to remind us of its presence.

In old age, Happiness finds a new kind of peace. It sits with us under an old tree, gently caressing our memories and turning them into gems. It no longer hides. It teaches us that true happiness is not about what we lack, but about accepting what we have. “Do you remember?” it whispers. “You are a piece of light.”

The essence of Happiness is simple. It is not found on mountain peaks or in distant places we search for. It is within us. It dwells in the moments when we pause and allow ourselves to feel the present. It is the star we carry within, a reminder that we are made of something eternal.

And so, the next time you look at the stars, remember: your Happiness is not far. It is in your heart, ready to shine. All it takes is to allow yourself to simply be.
