Searching for Happiness

Life is full of journey set by its destiny. Once we are born as a human being or animal, we all need to challenge the way we are set to lead. There is no bar as such called rich and poor, weak and strong, old and young, etc… Everyone needs to stand and obey the natural law to be happy in one’s life. Depending upon, one’s faith and destiny, we all need to struggle for our survival and need to sustain as we leave in this contemporary era. 

Many people fail to realise, why we are born unequal and underprivileged class in the society. Instead, we have a tendency to look for others as an alternative to looking for our happiness. Now question yourself, is it right track to follow other or not? Are we doing fair enough to look equal opportunity like others? Should we leave what we follow and go for a new paradigm? Can we suit to be in those places? Such a questions need to arise within oneself before we move oneself to a new destiny. Many people fail to understand and get into a problem that has no solution.

What is mean by “Happy” and “happiness”? An online dictionary defines happy as delighted, pleased, or glad as over particular thing. Happy is also favoured by fortunes; fortunate or lucky. on the other hand, Happiness is a combination of how satisfied you are with your life and how good you feel on a day-to-day basis. In other words, happiness means the ability to control how you feel and with consistent practice, you can form life-long habits for a satisfying and fulfilling life.

Natural laws are always with us. Whatever we do in our life we need to keep the natural law as a principle. To be happy is not an easy task. We need to sacrifices a lot of desirable and unconditional wants in one’s lifetime. What makes you happy is a simple question we take. But if you realise and thought for a while then so many things are there, we need to sort out to be happy in a one’s life. For instance, I get lots of happy and euphoria of a day, if things work well as I planned and wished. If my hopes, wishes, aims, goals, expectations, etc.. are fulfilled easily within a desirable time.  If things do not work well as I hoped, its consequences are tensions, stress, depression, tired, etc…

How to make happy oneself, is a question that lingers in my mind since a high school, College days and even after getting a small job. Now I completed my college and got a small renowned job that everybody looks to me as a primary example. When we are school kid and college student we think lots about getting job mean a leading a happy life with beloved one and family.
In reality whatever, we are doing there is no seed of happiness, instead, we move further only by our desire or ego or social prestige. I think now it is the right time to take the right decision at right time. Otherwise, right decision at the wrong time becomes a wrong decision. As Shiv Khera said; “the winner has a solution for every problem; the loser has a problem for every solution.” Thus, to make happy is not an easy thing that one can do but it needs lots of sacrifices. So, it is better to be happy with what we have today through experience, environment, and education. Because I believe that we learn more from experience, environment and education. We cannot learn to be happy by doing what comes on the way. We have to get into the practice of self-satisfaction in one’s life. So, never go for attaining happiness which you can’t achieve today. Be a humble and simple man satisfy with what you have acquired through your hard work.

Yes, once we are born as a human being we have lots of choices, one can prefer. But we need to remember having a choice in life is important, but choices without direction result in disaster. After undergoing the certain level of experience at this stage, I believe that happiness does not come from outside but it is an integral part of the mind to project how we led our lives. Thus, happiness is internal. Happiness is like a butterfly. If you run after it, keeps flying away. If you stand still, it comes and sits on your shoulder. Therefore, the projection of one’s mind is the utmost one to achieve happiness and if we really need euphoria of life.
