HAPPINESS

“HAPPINESS IS A JOURNEY AND NOT A DESTINATION “

What is happiness ? Where do we find happiness ? Will I ever be happy ? How to be happy? These are often questions we ask ourselves or at least wonder at some point of time but why ? Why do we have to wonder about such a minute emotion. It’s just like any other emotion it doesn’t last forever.

How do we do not expect anger or sadness to last forever the same way we cannot expect happiness to last forever even though it has become more of a destination or an achievement rather than being considered as a mere emotion. who doesn’t want to be happy in this world. Its one thing that is common in all of us whether we are of same caste or religion. It’s in human nature to want things ,To be happy but each one of us find happiness in different things , some might find it in making money or for some it might be just freedom that gives them happiness. We try to find happiness in big things in life , we start to create bench marks such as if I pass this exam i am going to be happy or if i crack this deal i am going to be the happiest man on earth or if i purchase this item then i am going to be happy. Have we come to this state that we have to find happiness in other things? Its in human nature to strive for whats’ difficult and to crack that to then believe yes ! we have succeeded and yes now give myself the permission to be happy.

We have such strong control over our emotions that we ought to give permission to our hearts to feel things. We see how small kids just laugh when we make funny faces at them or when babies look at the fan moving above their heads for the first time and they smile to themselves. Why are they not afraid ? They are not afraid because they don’t give permission to their hearts or emotions neither do they know how to have it put together the whole time, They just let go … they experience things but if only we could learn to do that. Its easy … Just start looking at things …I am sure in our daily lives there must be things that’s funny or something that does make you simile but you are afraid what will people think or may be it’s not the right time. Happiness doesn’t have to be put at a pedestal . It’s an emotion which we all have within. It’s just matter of time when you will let go and try to see things in a different light and be happy in small things that makes you smile . Happiness is not a destination its a mood , It’s not permanent. It comes and goes and if we start looking at it that way then may be we could find happiness more often.
