My response to the @Indiaunited Contest Theme- : "How to be Happy?"
Happiness is one thing which no one can teach us how to be happy. There is a saying that money cannot buy happiness, but to be honest I do not 100% agree to it. To an extent, these days money can buy happiness. For e.g. I enjoy travelling and it brings me lot of happiness but without money I cannot travel, so in a way money is buying this happiness for me.
Happiness is not a thing to be aquired, it's an emotion that we feeel. It's a feeling from the heart and it also reflects on our state of mind. A contended person will more or less will always be a happy go lucky person. This question for me, How to be Happy? How we feel happy is not some universal thing, like one thing on which every single person feels happy. It all depends on priorities of life that makes you feel happy. Every person's definition what brings them happiness is different. For me happiness is family. I am happiest when I am surrounded with my family. When I say family it means everyone, like my children, siblings, nephew, nieces, aunt, uncles, all of us together. Once a year we have a big family reunion and this is the most happiest time for me. It's joy of the highest level.
With that it does not mean that rest of the year I am not happy. I feel happy with many things in life, nature, travelling, watching a feel-good movie, fine dining, outing with friends, my business growing, all of this brings me happiness. It's a daily affair. I am at that stage of life where I do not worry much about how things will happen, or how my problems will be resolved. I just keep going and have faith in the Universe that all will be taken care off. There are very few times when I am not in a happy state. Evening when I go for my walk, that's a happy mood for me. Weekend me sipping wine with hubby and watching a movie on Netflix is happiness, if ever I wake up early and finish my meditation on sunrise that's happiness. There are so many little things on daily basis that keep making me smile.
Problems are a part of life and I am done crying over them. I have cried enough through my life and I do not wish to cry and brood anymore on anything. I realized that in my life, most of the problems that I worried for were not even my problems. Trust me, when you reach a certain age in life, all this drama of life means nothing, after that you just want to make the most of life and live for yourself. Life is a passionate topic for me and I can keep going on and on. When you realize that the life ahead of you is shorter then the life that has gone by, then you want to start living life to the fullest, and I am at that stage right now.
