In Search Of Happiness

Happiness is inside you .. or not. If you search for it you will never find it since you expect others or things to make you feel happy. This kind of happiness won't last. There is not much you need to feel happy, just yoursel, liking, loveing and pampering yourself.

In search of happiness is and should be delved into by thinking about what makes you happy. Happiness is feeling good about where you are at and what you are doing. If you aren't you need to redetermine what you want in life. It is important to give this all alot of thought before moving forward.

If you do not seek the right solution to merit or demerit the essence of happiness, then how could you find it with all other obstacles still intact to its acceptance? Do not try to do the hard way if it can not be done correctly,then try to do it the ordinary way.By this way you could achieve contentment.When you are contented from what you believe is fair for all concern then enjoy it and then you could now be contented and become happy.Contentment is the only key to happiness.

To live in happiness one must live only in the present moment. Both past and future cause stress and are beyond our control. No matter what the present is you have control over your reaction to it. I remember being in extreme pain and still making the choice to be happy, I reminded myself that without the dark we cannot see the light, so I kept my mind on the light even though I was aware of the pain.

Hi sukumar..honestly we need to steer clear of unhappiness as if it were a murky ditch and fear as if it were a stray dog with rabies. In a way we are much more happier than we were centuries ago. We are not going on war every second year as was the case in our country. So plundering, looting, and whatever went with it is not there. High taxes on food are not there. Simple living has also disappeared but be honest, arent you more at peace watching those television programs or listening to songs than you would be if you were constantly thinking of tomorrow as our ancestors were doing? They also had tigers, snakes, and diseases to fight. We have at least conquered some of those problems. Plague is rare, small pox has vanished...so no..I think we have come a long way, but we need to go a long way too. Personally, I am surprised I am much more at peace this year than I was since last 30 odd years. And so is my father! We didnt get any lotteries or additional monies this year. But I am feeling more confident of my future. I feel grateful to god for this. When the heart rises in thankfulness to the almighty - it is a different experience.
