Happiness
What is this ? Is it a state of mind ? Or a feeling ?Happiness is a state of mind or feeling such as contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy...This is a most important thing in life than all things which people search for….Every one wants to be happy...This is a precious treasure which people search every time.Happiness is what we all seek for, what we long for. But can such bliss be nothing but an elusive state of mind, which is here one moment and gone the next, or is such a positive outlook attainable for a lifetime?Everyone is unique and the things which cause happiness to one may not cause the same affect to the other. I am telling that happiness is relative.Sometimes….with me it happens that weather plays a role in the happiness factor. If there is a cloudy weather I feel it is a boring day. But this depends on me how i take things. But for others this may be different.Our Happiness can also play a major role in Influencing the people with whom we are in touch with... the way we talk or our body language is completely different when we are happy.Celebrations makes people happy... >>>You may be wondering why I am writing so much about happiness... This is because i feel it is very very important in our lives. Some people do things which make them happy.Buddha says: "Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others."Childhood stories and adventures are really nice to hear and they automatically bring that special smile on everyones face. Most of the times I am so proud and thrilled to tell my childhood stories to my friends...But in todays world, I feel that everyone wants to show they are happy. they will mask their sorrows and show a happy face. I dont say it is wrong, But I feel that the person is not honest with himself. Rather he may also think if I show my sad face, I may also influence the mood of the people around me. Even I have done this many times. but what I feel is it is always better to share sorrows with close ones and make your heart a little lighter.Sometimes, Music also influences in making a person happy.While listening to songs from my IPod or from Radio, Sometimes I smile and feel so thrilled. While I jog, I felt many times like opening my arms wide, looking at the sky and feeling that rain drop falling on my forehead.Family, Friendships and Relationships are the Major key factors in deciding the happiness...What I personally feel is that among all the factors these are the most important factors which influences happiness !!Once I had a conversation with a friend of mine. About the state of mind and the suggestions which I got are...Go to a park for a walk, Cook something which you like, read something interesting, Listen to your favorite music , Meditate...I really appreciate the suggestions...They are really good ones...And when I was really down with mood swings...The advice which I received is...."Dude, Just Experiment, Explore and Enjoy"... I am really enjoying life now...thanks buddy...! :).
