Everyone thinks of doing something that could be something different from what others have done in their life. I think that there are two worlds for every person. One which everyone thinks of like earning good, eating good and living a happy life. The other world is one which he sees from his eyes, his own eyes. A grand sum of money could be a dream of a person, a rare reality another person, and could be a need for some other person while for any businessman it could be a source of earning at least double to that sum of money. We see life the way we want to and this is the only thing I am able to make out from the live I have lived.
For a child, happiness could be a trip to Disneyland, for a student happiness could be becoming at top position in studies in his class or school, for a middle aged man, happiness could be the comfort lifestyle of his family. For an old man, happiness could be dedication to any holy work. If I am able to put some points which most of us think and believe I guess I have proved that happiness has different reasons and causes. So, one should not define his happiness so as to bind it around a set of reasons and causes. The only thing I would like to say is try to find out every smallest thing or cause that makes you happy, no matter how different it is from others.
Happiness could be dependent or independent i.e it may depend upon some other person's happiness also. When I am doing something that I know would make my best friend happy or any person, whom I admire, happy I would be glad to do that. You can spend as many funds on yourselves to make yourself happy but sometimes it may happen that you feel two times happiness by spending less than half of the amount on others. Try eating a pizza at dominoz and try giving a small chocolate to a small child. Then try thinking when did you feel more happiness. It is not a big thing today to realize that money cannot buy everything. The big thing is how you plan to make others and yourself happy.
Most of the times we feel sad over something or the other but we forget that happiness could be so near to you. The problem is we cannot see it and this is quite normal. We feel sad when something goes wrong. A small idea which I have and have used few times is to give up your dreams, your expectations one by one when you are sad. You know that your time is not good at this moment so you can give some of your expectations from current conditions and you will feel good. But while doing so, make a note of what all expectations and dreams you have given off so that you can have them again in your good times. This sounds simple but equally tough to do.
I tried a lot searching for happiness both inside and outside me and the only thing I found was that happiness comes on its own. One cannot force it to come to you nor cannot deny happiness coming your way. It will come and go on its own. The only thing we can do is not miss it whenever it comes to us because if we do so, we would be amongst many un-lucky ones who are not able to identify and let it go unattended.
Finally I would like to say is that if at any time you feel you cannot bring happiness to yourself, try bringing it to others. You can become source of happiness for some other person.
Love and let other's love you... thereby making this world even more happy place to live in.
