-Rabi Nachman

A commandment to always be in a state of happiness. This is something i am choosing to live by. It takes tremendous strength to fake happiness for others. I dont want my family and friends to see me sad or depressed for them i try to be happy. I dont want to push them away cause im constantly down and boring to be with. I owe it to them to be happy, i want to think of other people first. This is how my dad lived. He had every right to be sad and miserable and yet he was always in high spirits. Anytime anyone visited him he they that they would walk out of there feeling renewed, to see a man who has nothing be so optimistic really put things in perspective for them. His strength was honestly the only reason why i was able to get through all this pain and suffering for the past 10 years of my life. He did it for us, he stayed strong and happy for us, and now im going to do it for him, my family, and also for me. Because when you trick others into thinking you’re happy, you can kinda trick yourself into thinking you are happy too. Research even shows that putting on a fake smile triggers happy emotions in your brain do to the tightening of veins in your face, which constricts the flow of blood to your brain cooling down your blood temperature. This cooler blood temperature biologically triggers happy emotions, thus a fake smile can trick your brain into being happy. at least for a while. I dont want to be sad. i dont want this tragedy to define me, i want it to strengthen me, so im choosing to be happy for others and myself. And this phrase really encompasses my thoughts and opinions on that idea. I might even get this tattooed on my rib cage, to always remember to be happy, my dad, and that their is always a reason to smile.
