ALL WE WANT IS, HAPPINESS.....

By


Life, a word, which begin to play a slideshow of millions of feelings, thoughts, experiences and events right in our mind. Throughout our lifetime, we run past many opportunities and threats that define the course of our life. But how far we have understood this life. Why do we live? What do we want from the life?
  •       Do we want money?
  •       Do we want prestige?
  •       Do we want a nice Job?
  •       Do we want love?

What do we actually want? You will say all you want is to make others happy, to earn a lot, to prove something to the world, or just love. But have you really understood the basic want behind all your aspirations from life? What you actually desire from your life? How will you finally say that your lifespan have been meaningful?

Is it not right to say that whenever we achieve something from life, we tend to lose its importance? A child loses his excitement over a toy when he gets hold of it. People lose interest in jobs as soon as they grab one. A student loses his contentment once he grabs a great project to work upon. Money does not satisfy a person once he gets hold of it. In short, we crib throughout our lives for one thing or the other. We never tend to be happy from within for anything we achieve. Human soul tends to demand more. But failing to understand what it want, we tend to remain dissatisfied with our lives.

Never have we tried to understand the real reason behind this dissatisfaction. We just keep running here and there in search of peace, from one door to another, in an effort to find contentment. Think over it once. Do we not want just a simple smile, a happiness inside our heart. In whatever we do, do not we seek happiness? We aspire to dream big, in terms of money, power and status throughout our lives. But don’t we remain more contended in smaller acts that make us happy? Meeting a long lost friend, spending a weekend as per our wish, enjoying the rain, living peacefully away from the commotion. Don’t they make us truly satisfied in terms of self-realization?


The core of our desires is the craving to be happy. We do all our acts in an effort to find happiness. Its just that our path is stranded with a million hurdles that we found hard to overcome. But happiness tends to remain at the core of our desires. We seek happiness in the outer world, money, power, status and relationships. But the facts are, happiness will never be achieved till a point we learn the true essence of our being, i.e. life is an odyssey to remain happy. Happiness is a virtue that we forget in the fast paced life. We seek happiness in things. We believe happiness will be achieved in materials of the world. Once we discover, that we are living just to remain happy and contended, our life would automatically become all the more peaceful and happy.

To work as per my passion and not profession:

The greatest fear of anyone around us, is of being not able to grab a respectable position in this society. As it was said in a famous movie that if we do not score good marks, we will not be able to grab a good grad college, and if there is not a good grad college with good marks, there would be no placement, no placement means no job, no job means no salary and no salary means no marriage. This means our society at large, is moving just to prove themselves on just a single front, i.e. to prove that they are worth marrying?? Or for that case, to grab a job which pays them handsomely. Is it the only thing left in our lives, to get money and family and get settled? What about our own aspirations? Each one of us, during our development stage, begin to develop some hobbies, some passions which we feel connected to. Some are too mainstream and some might even not be known to anyone accept us. If we stick to one of our passion, we develop a skill related to it. It may be singing,...

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

By
It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

By
I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...
