Happiness... V2.0

Continuing from the last blog...

Moving on to see/analyse what happiness is from a different perspective...

As a child happiness to me always meant a bar of chocolate or a small candy would also do.. I grew up and at a teen age my happiness was satisfied by a good movie, a good evening with friends or a good outing on a weekend... More...I grew up and started working and now my happiness is not satisfied even if I get a handsome salary to survive.. I need more!

So where is the same old person whose satisfaction was just a bar of chocolate and today a good handsome salary does not satisy him... The hidden word here is need...

I have always felt that your need goes up the more you see the world and nderstand it;know it better.

Just to clarify more on this point - A guy of my age who has been through to many places and has known so many things and understood them would not be happy with even 5 times of my salary! Why ?

Because he knows things and understands them and has the knowledge that he can aim for more..

To the best of my knowledge I know that my handsome salary is what I will get for my work... But to the knowledge of the other guy he knows that there are better things that he can aim and hope for for the same level is mine... I am not arguing here that I am getting a low salary..This is just an example to explain that your complete satisfication of your needs is what brings happiness to you.

True satisfaction of one's self is what i would term to be happiness.. Importantly, immaterial satisfaction and thereby complete and true happiness is achieved..

H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S

Now here I am to write about happiness ..
I was just a bit happy after a long term of brutal sadness..So yeah forget all that has passed by and go ahead...

What does happiness signify to one ? OR more ...
When does one say he is happy ?
Let's see...
Whenever you feel whatever you expect or something better than that has happened, we feel contented..
If something happens which we were not expecting then there is something missing in our heart...We feel uncomfortable and discontented...

Now take the key words - contended and discontended from these sentences above - so it all ends up how you feel at your heart and how full do you feel to yourself..

If suppose, we are content with or adjust and try to be contended with all that we have then that would mean we are happy or atleast trying to be happy...

Live every moment of life as if it is your precious one (I won't say live it like the last moment)...
Count the amount of precious moments you have had in your life and then try to map it how happy you have been in your life..They would be the same.. Treat every moment of your life as the most precious ones...When you treat them so - you feel contended - the base for happiness!

Enjoy every preious moment of your life, especially times which we have longed for - you never know how long they will stay - or for a matter of fact - will they stay ?

Hard times

Its often the hard times that brings out the best in everyone.

We often face hard times and these are the times where we need to get up, stand tall, and say 'I can!'.

Most of the times and most of the people fall prey to themselves. Its their right to stand up and fight against it! But to their plight, people don't. The feeling of being let down or lost brings out emotion of us.. It shows the care and love and what not you had had for those times...

When time runs with us we seem to be living our life at the fullest and when it is against us, it is then that we feel torn and lost....

Fear not my brother, thy shall help you - Bull shit!!!

It's your life and you live it on your terms..No one will come down to wipe your tears. Learn to be stiffer when the tide is high... The strongest of the ships are the ones which have held fort during the worst tides..

It is for these reasons that we need support from people during hard times who help us to come through it....You need hands to bring up the sail to sail through the rough sea... Like sea, life would often throw up challenges to test YOU...

Put an end to all of it! As time passes, it all will be history..Yesterday's present will be tomorrow's history and tomorrow's history is today's present..

Life will always unfold new challenges against us but to tackle it and to come through it is a mark of a man who learns from it rather who loses from it....

Life's mysteries teaches us so many things - about people - in particular.. Learn them and inculcate them in you to become a better human being!!

Learn to live in your life and not to let live life in you...

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hold onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today ? " - Anonymous
