In a quiet village, there lived a young woman known as Maya. Since childhood, Maya was a spirited, happy, and always smiling girl. Even when Maya's life was not always easy. At that time, she was an orphan as a teenager and had to work in the fields to support herself. Until the evening, the young woman sometimes worked non-stop. But Maya never looked gloomy, in a hurry or just physically tired.
One day, one of her friends from the past, Dewi, came to visit her. Dewi now lives in the city. Her life seems the most comfortable, with a big house, and a good job. Seeing Maya's figure simply Dewi asked, "why don't you look for a job in the city? Then your life is less heavy, and you are not too happy every day like this as a farmer." Maya immediately smiled and answered, "actually I have my dreams, but I believe happiness does not belong to more.
Happiness is being grateful enough to live with what you have now. " Dewi was surprised to hear Maya's answer. She realized that all this time she had always chased what she wanted and was never satisfied with anything. Persistent with the world that was always faced and wanting to be dynamic, without attention and happiness. So it was different with Maya, although simple, calm and happiness were visible on her face.
The next day, Maya invited Dewi to take a walk in the fields. Along the way, Maya told her about the simple ways she had found to enjoy life: greeting neighbors, feeling the morning breeze, hearing birds chirping, and smiling at everything she encountered. In the fields, Maya showed her the wildflowers that she cared for with great affection.
"This is my happiness," Maya said as she picked the flower. "I choose to be happy every day, wherever I am. Maybe this is not a life rich in wealth, but this is a life rich in feeling."
Dewi learned something valuable from Maya that day. She went home with a calmer heart and a new perspective on happiness. From Maya, she understood that happiness is not something found out there, but rather a choice we make every day in our hearts.
And from that day on, Dewi decided to stop looking for happiness outside, and started choosing happiness from within. I invite @teukuipul87 @sisol and @yuswadinisam to participate in making posts and making stories in this community
