HAPPINESS
Happiness is a state of mind in which even people possessing great
riches along with a big mansion and fancy cars etc. are incapable to make themselves
happy. It is the inner sense that makes you contended and satisfied, therefore
we must understand that happiness is a journey not a destination with a
beginning, a middle and an end and on its completion which we enjoy to the
utmost while travelling. Living each day and savouring every moment of it as if
it were our last should be our resolution and we must learn to cope with our frustration
because total control in life is rarely possible and we get frustrated for
different reasons on various issues.
Our frustration should be at such a tolerance level as too
much control kills happiness and feeds further frustration. We should embrace
the present as there’s no point in waiting for tomorrow to wait in a hope which
will bring more of impatience and that is what leads to unhappiness.
Today is all what we have, right now is all that we possess
and we need to appreciate and thank the Almighty for what we enjoy. We should
let our imagination soar and enjoy with our family because banking on the future
to make us happy is a sheer gamble that can betray us at any point of time.
When we’re focused and aware of our ambitious goals, we are
likely to feel contented and happy because if we don’t know of our expectations,
then life shall be dull and boring making it aimless therefore always make
small achievable goals and pursue for them vigorously as goals are the only essence
of hope besides an inspiration to a prosperous future. Make sure we have goals,
but reach to them in a balanced way. Enjoy even the small things in life as the
happiness we get from such deeds cannot be purchased by many millionaires as
money is not everything. Chasing after life’s big pleasures instead of the
small ones is futile in the pursuit of happiness because it is as if we are losing
tiny sparkling diamonds that are strewn across our path.
Never sacrifice family for the sake of achievements because
family is the one who is the real well-wisher and always wants to see us happy
and smiling even during odd circumstances. Just imagine for a moment … you are
extremely rich living in a big house of your dreams with an expensive car and
rich bank account and plan for a luxurious five star holiday. No doubt it is wonderful
that you have achieved what you aimed for, but how, with whom and on what cost?
You are standing all alone with no one to share your happiness whereas your
other family members who may not be having so much wealth are united and
happily enjoying themselves with each other. For wealth you might have sacrificed
your family, but your family preferred sacrificing you for happiness.
You may have had to relegate your loved ones to the second
best, but you have a failed a precious relationship in your awakening, and you
have missed all your children’s childhood years, or been too busy to celebrate
birthdays and remember anniversaries. At the end of the day, it’s no good
having all life’s luxuries if there’s nobody meaningful to share them with.
