In search of Happiness

In search of happiness

Wonder why I made the title as "In search of happiness"??

Coz we all are in search of that 5-letter mystery word - "Happy" or when expanded "Happiness".

Before I start my boredatworkpeptalk, I would like to ask you all a simple basic question?
When was the last time you sing a song for yourself or maybe for someone else?.. Don't you feel like you were so relaxed and calm when you were singing?
Well, I sing when I am really comfortable and nothing is bothering me. Of course, it is short lived - 5 mins max to max?
Yes, but the lil pleasure and calmness you experience are totally worth it.

Why do we feel so low and moody most of the days?? Maybe our past is haunting us or maybe we are too anxious about what is gonna happen in future.
Why do we all fail to live the present? Our parents and teachers have been always behind us teaching what not do in your future and what you shouldn't have done in your past. But has anyone told you how to live the present?
That's where we fail, where we fail to raise a "happy-child". We keep pushing them to achieve something far-sighted and once they reach there, they don't feel the sense of achievement coz he/she failed to live the present.
All in their life they have been told that "they" will be happy when you achieve the goal, but wasn't that "their" goal and they were selfish about their happiness.
Sad, but true isn't it?

I have seen people blindly praying out loud - again in the name of happiness, for a cause!. Yea we don't pray for God, we pray for a cause. But have we ever taken some time and thought about why we are not happy or what is stopping you?
We just run behind things and get yourself damaged and drained out in the process. Some would say they love being with their family..some would say when they eat (I love them.. those are my kinda people you know :D)..some would say when they travel.. so each one of us has a customized version of happiness.
And what are we doing instead of this.. waiting for someone to come and change our life like a miracle?? eagerly waiting for your client to give you a paid-vacation for a week?? ..we just crib!!
Basically, we are just lazy. So lazy we made a comfort zone out of our bad times and get along with it. (Don't think that this is going to be another motivational write-up :P)

Life was never a smooth slide for me, neither for you. We all are in search of this mystery-word "Happiness". When I was a kid, I used to believe Pandora`s story was real and I used to curse her every night for opening the stupid box full of troubles, sorrows and never-ending disappointments.

We live a life full of mistakes and regret on them. Neither we learn out of it nor we try to make better decisions. Well that’s the beauty of life. We tend to find our lil happiness out of those miseries and show our middle finger to life. Are we addicted to sadness? Sometimes yes. We need our sober nights to bring out the best in us. We never realise that unless something real bad hit us hard.
