Honoring the harmony in life

Harmony and happiness are in the same family of emotions, sometimes they are looked at as equivalent to each other. They're really not. Happiness is quite overrated and often misunderstood. At least the pursuit of happiness is. It is a perception that for some people can be misleading.  Instead of just being in the moment and enjoying the life they have. We sometimes spent too much time chasing some elusive idea of happiness. So much so, that we miss the lessons that we need to learn in life. The fact is that we all have good and bad moments in our lives. It's our approach to bad situations that really make a big difference to living a harmonious life. Life will hand us challenges. Although these challenges can be difficult, they are also moments of growth. There are many instances in life that once we overcome them, can help us see the rest of our human existence in this world with a light of gratitude.
Life is a miracle. God equipped me with everything I need within, for a successful completion of this journey called life. Therefore, no matter what life throws at me, I can handle the good and bad.  It is the balancing of the bad and good moments that makes up our harmony.  Because of this, harmony is more attainable than an eternally unrealistic giddy form of happiness. It allows us to accept difficult situations as moments that will eventually pass. When we live in harmony,  we can in one hand, accept the challenges that arise, and at the same time, be open to acknowledge all the  good situations with gratitude. 
When we live in harmony we can really see that life is good no matter what the situation is. We can be properly equipped  and ready for the ups and downs of everyday life. We can be giddy when we are happy and sad when things are not going well.  Either way, when we live in harmony, we know that in the end, everything is going to be alright.
