The secret of happiness!

You want to be happy, don’t you? If you are willing to smile each moment then you have arrived at the right place! Go on reading… and the secret of happiness will be unveiled to you! It’s a promise; you don’t have to spare a buck!
Hello!

Perhaps I don’t know you and you don’t know anything about me. But can you please answer to my questions?

What is happiness? When do you feel happy?

You are reading this article to find out what is real happiness? And if you could find it out and use it in your life, you will feel good and you will be happy!

But what if you couldn’t understand what I will try to tell you? Will you be unhappy then?

Why?

Is it because you did not get what you wanted? You were unable to find happiness!

Now can you please remember all your wishes that you think if fulfilled, you will be happy! Just like someone wants a bike but not able to buy because of money problem, and when he will buy that bike, he will feel happy! Please do not read further unless you haven’t listed out whatever you want and which wish when fulfilled will make you feel happy!

According to most of us, when we want something and when we get it, we feel happy! But what about the time that passed in between you wished for something and the time when you achieved that? Can you tell me; were you unhappy in between that time? Actually whatever you wanted, it was there at particular time and you wanted it from long so you became happy when you got it! You were destined to get that particular thing at the particular time, but still you wanted that thing and were waiting eagerly to achieve it and feel happy! We are humans and we have a nature where we want something to be happy, and finally when we achieve it, we feel desire of achieving something new, something better! This is a situation where we want to be happy but our wish is not fulfilled, we never become happy! There is a famous story of king Midas who had a desire to own gold, more gold than any other person or GOD! When he got the gold, still he was unhappy! Why? Because there was another wish, he wanted something else from the very moment his wish was granted!

Whatever we have in this very moment is it any different than other moments? No, it is no different than other moments; it has same value as those of other moments. Once this moment is gone, it will never come back. Yes, this moment will not come back again; we cannot change anything that is happening right now! Even if the creator of this world comes, he will not be able to change whatever is going on right now! But sure we will be able to change whatever will come in front of us!

So what do you think about it?

The main idea is to accept this moment. If we accept everything happening right now then it is possible for us to be happy right now also! But do not forget to live life in each moment and do try to make our life better each moment! An enlightened person can understand the importance of it and he becomes happy! If we want to be enlightened then the moment is right now or it will never come! Think seriously, can you change anything that is happening right now? If you cannot, then why to worry and be unhappy? Accept it and release all the worries and tensions!

We do not have to do anything to be happy! Do we have to? Do you think if you want to be happy, do you have to do anything extra? Do you have to go to any shop to buy happiness? Or do you have to go to any person to get happiness from him/her? No, never, you can feel happy any time and anywhere, nobody has to do anything for you to make you happy! Its up to you to be happy! No one will come to you to tell you the time when you should be feeling happy! Do not expect anything; just accept whatever it is at the present moment! The only reason we become unhappy is we try to be happier and we want something else from the present moment! We wait to feel happy tomorrow (when our most awaited wish is fulfilled) …… but till that we forget that the moments, which we are wasting to become happy after any of our wish is fulfilled, and never we feel happy! So decide what do you want happiness or…

I have tried to tell u the truth...... now its upto you, become happy person or stay as you are!

All the best!
