"Happiness" a phenomenon around which the world revolves. This topic struck me when recently at work someone came up with a very simple yet a powerful statement " you perform better if you are happy" (Thank you !! You know who you are 😊). This really got me thinking . I thought over it and wondered it's just not the performance at work but ones performance in life with everything you are involved in - your relationships, yours hobbies , yours responsibilities , yours dreams etc etc. How would we define it?🤔 Well !! I realised there isn't any definition , it is a feeling that is felt differently by each one of us. How do we achieve it ?? yet again there is no sure shot recipe for this.
I suppose happiness is more like a journey and how you perceive LIFE (Ahaaa!!). It's defined by ones own actions or reactions to people and situations . Its ironic how sometimes the smallest of things raises a deluge of happiness inside us and there are instances when we end up winning mountains but are not very exhilarated about it. Whats more funny is people are paying money to find and figure out a way to be happy. I would say instead of chasing the God men and God women how about chasing your innerself to find our own answers. When I was growing up I had anger , resentment, arrogance etc and still have no clue why lol , then when life chose to screw my happiness(PUN intended you see 😉) the same anger, resentment and arrogance went on to become 10X. As I am growing older(though by heart I'm still a 18 year old wink wink ..Hehe) and with life throwing a bag full of experiences at me, I have come to realise what really matters to me and what doesn't or to put it in a more realistic way I realised what should matter to me over what shouldn't. This so called realisation came by me spending time with myself and understanding my own emotions. Life is full of experiences, both good and bad . At the end it's up to us on how we pick and choose our battles. The sooner it strikes you the better it gets. That's your first way forward towards the sweet route of being happy.
I learnt to let go , I learnt to be OK with things even when they did not go the way I wanted them to be. I learnt to be patient , I learnt to give before I receive, I learnt to lower my expectations(worst of all the evils he he), I learnt to be considerate, I learnt to be less bothered about people and their opinions about me. I learnt to have faith in myself and trust the universe . These are my fundamentals and a secrete recipe towards my so called "Happy". These have been evolving and unfolding themselves with time within me . So sit back and ask yourself about things you have been fretting about are they really worth it ? People you have been resenting? Are they worth your emotions , situations that you have put your self in or have been reacting to are they really worth the time and effort? These questions will unfold a lot of hidden answers within you, making you feel a lot more lighter in your head and heart.
It's not the external factors it's the internal 'YOU' who controls your Happy state .You are your own happiness! It's up to you how ,when and where you discover it within yourself! You have one life ..you cannot waste it by not being happy. 😁😁😁 . I know its easy said than done. But no harm in giving it a try ..baby steps towards - Smile Laugh and Repeat.....you are worth it and deserve it 💕
