Ever wondered that there are few people who just seem to be so happy…they seem like they don’t have any sadness or a reason to be not so happy all the time….well I am not saying that I know the answer for this but my quest for the same is a search still not complete….
I saw the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” which is a wonderful story about a Father and Son’s relation, about dealing with situations, about pushing oneself a little bit more even when the circumstances say that you can go no further. There pursuit was for happiness which the father thinks he will achieve once he provides for his son and acquires a certain lifestyle. Here also the thing which is to be attained is “Happiness”.
This movie triggered my conversation over a cup of tea at office and what was concluded was that we all need happiness and we should be able to generate it ourselves and not be depended upon others or things to achieve it.
We all pursue one thing or the other but ideally we are on the pursuit of this one single thing….and that is “Happiness”. Let me explain. Someone wants a big house for themselves because owning that house will make them “Happy”. Someone wants a particular position in a company because having that position will make them “Happy”. Everybody’s dreams , reasons of working ,reasons of being with somebody , reasons of achieving something leads to just one thing and that is “Happiness”.
So how to be the source of Happiness ourselves? Further to find the answer to my newly found question….I changed the type of books I read. I have started reading books like “The Secret” “Forty rules of Love” and few more…. Let me tell you… I have been a fictional reader of love and romance since I was small and never have been into inspiring ,biographies ,self help books….but this discussion drew me towards finding the answers of my question.
So the conclusion that I have drawn till now from the reads is that we can be happy if we are Positive ,we are in connect with the Almighty , we are Grateful for things we have and we are ready to Serve others even if it doesn’t benefit us…..So the person who does all the above..knowingly or unknowingly sometimes 😉 is the one who becomes the “Source of Happiness”
The quest to find the answers is still on 🙂 Help me if you have them 🙂
