Pursuit of Happiness

Whats happiness???.. hmmm.... Something that makes you feel good. A silent wish that subconsciously sits in your mind, overshadowed by the your endeavors, your desires for the things you crave for but don't really want (...ask yourself). Trust me, its Happiness that everyones looking for. The day you are truly n sincerely HAPPY, you wouldn't have anything else to search for.

Now where does it come from..... Success, accomplishments, redemptions, moments that rekindle your emotions, a good company, love....... the list is endless, if the general viewpoint is considered. But mind you, its comes from YOU, your own inner self because you will find happiness where YOU want to see it.

The other day i was talking to a friend of mine, as usual in a dejected overtone i asked him," Why is it that i am always engrossed in gloom and depression and everyone else seems happy?" He retorted," For everyone else you seem to be happy as well."( the answer cudnt have been better). This led me too a conclusion that either everyone is happy (which is not the case i suppose) or else everyone is caught in the myriad false assumptions of happiness(that exist and largely believed too) and are somewhat lost in their way to ecstasy.

So try to find Happiness in anything that comes forth you, even in the most dispirited and despondent of times. Subtle changes in your attitude, your perceptions, your way of looking at things, situations, could make a whole lot of difference and then you will be well and truly on course for the eternal quest of mankind.

Hope someone finds Happiness, the way i suggest, it will feel nice( because i am often complained for being too serious to give someone happiness). But for me to be happy, its still a long way, because my pursuit is still ON........

hmmmm .....
i somehow was expectin somethin on this from u
somthin on happiness .... such an elusive truth
the friend part u had once mentioned earlier .... wot he said was very correct
happiness is nothin more than a hallucination ... though usually very much desired ....
to hallucinate u have to think ... u have to dream ....

Also remember my friend ...u cannot advise someone a thing which u don not follow ... dont try to project optimism when u r deep in the wells of pessimism ..

As far as ur pursuit is concerned it will throw u in the deepest and darkest corners of loneliness and depression ... till u decide that u have to be happy ....


and this decision does not require a major obverhaul in life
it just requires a major decison .. a firm one ....

So be positive ... think ... dream ... and happily work towards achieving those dreams ....

and also if those dreams shatter ... do not despair ... coz the human mind is fertile enough to dreamm endlessly ....

Cheers

You are as happy as you want to be, really. I know it sounds like a puzzling statement, but really, one of the most simple yet powerful truths in life is that EVERYTHING IS AS SIMPLE AS YOU PLEASE.
