Happiness

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Good things happen to the people who think good thought and also bad things happen to people who are filled with negative thoughts. My post has to be in line with what I just said because I believe in it. Basically happiness is always within us, we are always searching for it everywhere. We feel that pursuit of happiness is the basic purpose of life of course it is. We do a lot of things now because we are sure that those are the things which will bring happiness to us in the future. I study now because I think that it will help me fetch a job in future. A job does not always ensure one happiness but I am sure the pay does bring one happiness however short term it may be.


So Pursuit of Happiness is the only thing drives us every day. First ask yourself the questions, Are you happy today? Does what you do bring you joy today? Trust me I sure very few will have a positive response for the questions. As everyone advises choose a career that brings you happiness or a job that you enjoy doing. If you are doing what you enjoy then why are you reading this? The pursuit of happiness has no end.  And for the unlucky, who are pushed into doing things we do not enjoy, please continue.

We are humans... right?? Our range of satisfaction is very short, we change opinions and choices within fraction of seconds, our choices are varied, we are all unique. We normal people can never reach a point of full satisfaction (happiness). I say normal people because we feel we never get what we want, we get pushed over always, we hate ourselves for the choices we make, we make mistakes, we rectify them, we do good, and we are bad. This us need happiness. Almost 60 percent of all people fall in this category other 20 are above us and other 20 are the ones we push around. So truthfully we never achieve a point of full happiness.

Like my first line says our thoughts make us. We are always in control of our thoughts and we in them. Gloomy thoughts easily fall on us; of course we are normal people. Like self help books say think only positive thoughts, surround yourself with positive people, (yeah easier said than done). Where am I going to find positive people?? Free advice... you will never find anyone, anywhere (maybe your parents when they are advising you). And I have not found any solution to this problem. But happiness is not something I can explain to you and believe that you have understood. Just as love, anger etc. are feelings, happiness and sadness are feelings, I can’t explain feelings. WE have to feel it. We should not go in search for the feelings they will occur to us.

We pursue happiness, we search for it. But it never happens we find sadness in the place of happiness, a sense of failure falls on us. We have got to understand that happiness is an aspect, it is a consolidation of thoughts, finding little happiness in things we do each day is the only way out. I cannot ask you to be happy after a breakup; you can't find happiness there, but try and find a tinge of happiness because you can cry about your break up to a friend. And you cannot be happy when some higher up shouts at you, try calling names at the higher up out of his earshot (within his earshot is going to land you in trouble again). A loss of a dear one is devastating finding happiness is practically not possible, but try and look around there are a lot of people who are supporting at the time of your need, believe that you are blessed, and find happiness.

Pursuit of happiness is endless, our destination is our beginning. Searching for it is stupidity, because we never lost it. We found happiness in little things we did when we were younger. Now we don’t have the life we terribly wanted but seeing happiness in the things we do is the only way out.

Live Life!!

Believe ALL, Trust None!!!
