Whatever we do, our ultimate aim is to be happy…so many things we do in life we feel they will make us happy and they do not…so many things give us immense happiness in life, so many times, we end up hurting ownself at the cost of making others happy and somewhere still drive out happiness out of that because we had set our priority of that…we never want to do something which would not make us happy eventually..no one knows future…its always unseen and unfolded. We always decide own happiness and make it dependent on lots of ifs and buts. We always tell our mind lots of things like if this happens then I would be happy, if that happens then i would be happy, we do not tell it directly, we tell it indirectly. I wish my son can become a Doctor, I wish my son will do this for me, I wish my wife does this for me..and in both the cases whether things happen or not we stay away from happiness, why so, if it happens, it may come with a package and there would be other things hovering over it and if it does not happen anyway we have so many reasons to blame.
Happiness is your decision, its a mental state which is decided by you. Let’s take an example, you are having dinner with your family in a nice restaurant and you feel great that you are with your loved ones, suddenly you see your worst of enemy and then instead of focusing on dinner , you are focusing on your pal…what happens then..you lost your dependent happiness..so happiness is never dependent on circumstances, because if there are circumstances which can make you happy, there will also be circumstances which will make you unhappy. Its never future based because then other things will also change which you do not want to change in future. If you decide to be happy in life, you will always be happy as in that case, you stay calm and poised in every circumstances.
You can decide to be happy in anything. You can be happy when people around you are happy and smiling. You can be happy if your locality is well fed. You can be happy if you get a chance to make someone else smile. You can be happy to see children playing. You can be happy when birds are chirping and river is flowing. You can be when it is raining. It can be anything. It is with in you and always there with you. You just never explored and could never envision it. Once you start finding happiness inside you, you will be able to see happiness in everything which surrounds you. You will be happy when birds are chirping, you will be happy when sun is rising, you will be happy when a child is smiling, you will be happy when trees get new leaves because your innerself is happy. You are happy and you see only happiness around you.
If you are not happy now, you can never be happy as you will always find reasons to complain and to be unhappy. So you need to decide now, if you want to be happy or not.
