I was sitting and I thought let me make lists of people who have helped me, loved me and made me happy in life and another list of people who have hurt me in any way. After finishing the list I was pleasantly surprised the list of people who have loved me and have given me happiness is much longer than the list of people who have hurt me. Then I wrote down the list of events which give me smile and list of events which hurt me most. Then the time period and so on. In every way happiness quantified more than hurt. Then why do we feel sad? Why do we feel hurt? Why do we feel revengeful?
It’s simple. We remember hurt! We keep an account of that. We do not keep an account of happiness. We keep an account of hurt. If we want to be happy, we need to start keeping an account of happiness.
When we shifted our home, we made a happiness tree. Now, whenever there is something which has made us smile, we go and hang a paper leaf there. We write date and emotions of that event. Now, there are many leaves on that and whenever we read them, it gives us many smiles. Few makes us laugh and few take us down the memory lane. When I read it, I feel happiness is growing. So are you ready to sow the seeds of happiness? This is one way which I have done. You can choose yours and let’s make happy homes, happy lives, happy individuals. So that we can create a happy world.
