Happiness in Life

Every person has a value and belief system which he or she follows. That is what is responsible for the way one behaves, thinks, responds and lives life. It is nice to pen down the philosophy I wish to follow in life.

Life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans. Life is to live , to be happy. Being happy is the continuous and ultimate objective of life based on which we optimise our situations. There is no want in life as such. Decide to be happy and ur belief and confidence that you can be happy will make it a fact. Dont let anything to affect you in life. Be untouched by any external influence like a lotus leaf in a pond and maintain the internal state of happines. It is independent of what you have and what u dont have...who is there with u and who is not....what worked in ur favour and what did not....Happiness is just a mental state unaffected by all these factors. All that matters is that unshakeable decision to be happy whatever happens in life. The day you associate happiness with people close to u...with ur possessions and ur environment u r dependent on them. U may love people, care for them but ur happiness is independent of it. Everything in life is a bonus because u did not have anything when u came. When u look at everything good that happens in ur life as a bonus u wont go to a negative state when it is taken away from u...Accept what life gives u and be contented with it. Believe that whatever happens happens for the good. If not anything it has given u an experience. Enjoy the moments for the experience they give and dont brood over their absence. U can be happy irrespective of the occurences in ur life. Life is always lived above x axis because we started only from zero. People come and go, successes and failures are bound to occur but nothing in life should affect you. Life is never unfair to anyone. Nothing is under ur control. There is one supreme power which is making all the people play their roles and watching one nice show. Anything can happen the very next moment and so dont lose even a single opportunity to make urselves more happy. There is nothing wrong in beng happy. Ultimately what u should fear is only ur conscience.

Conscience is one good friend which gives u the same answer to a question how many ever years down the line u ask...Listen to ur conscience. Be clear in ur thoughts...There is no problem that is not surmountable. No problem can take away ur happiness from u if u decide to be happy whatever the case may be. Nothing in life is more important than life itself... Everthing about life can be summed up in three words---It goes on. We often start working towards wrong goals...we are always getting prepared to live but never living. Start now...Live a life...be happy... I think everything has been figured out except how to live....Only if u believe that life is worth living ....and it is worth being happy will u create the fact....

Accept people for what they are...Never categorise their qualities into good or bad....Understanding that a quality exists in a person is more than enough to be a good friend to him....At the end of the day in any relationship what matters the most is understanding and trust...Trust that the person will not act against his or her own conscience. Understanding and accepting the person for what is true. Doing such a thing will clear ur mind of all the cribs...all the ill feelings and make u a happier person.....

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose to be happy. Problems are bound to come because without them life wont be interesting. They are only there to make u stronger and not get bogged down. Ultimately one thing is true, whatever happens life is not going to stop there. We never know what twists and turns are yet to come. If u want god to laugh tell him ur future plans. You can hope for something but never expect something to happen. When u dont have expectations life is a jolly ride becuse everything that comes ur way excites u. U never know what the purpose of an event is unless it happens. So accept whatever comes ur way because u dont know how it is good for u...May be better than what u would have wished for..... The central dogma in life is

Decision---->acceptance-----> Happiness

Life is beautiful in its own way...All it takes is an open mind to observe and enjoy the beauty of life.
