An insightful analysis of ‘happiness’




We find happiness in small things, we find happiness in sweeping victories, we find happiness in meeting loved ones, and we find happiness in doing things we love.
In short, we find happiness in a million ways. This also means that all a human brain strives for is happiness. Right from the day it starts functioning, it is on an endless pursuit to find happiness, in things, events, and people. We try to do our best during our lives, and, in turn, ask only one thing in return, i.e. happiness.
If someone wants materialistic comforts, it is for happiness, if someone seeks company, it is to find the solace of happiness. All in all, everything we are working upon is linked to our happiness. It is the fundamental nature of a living being, to look for happiness.
In life, we try to find a million ways which promise happiness in the real sense, but we may have done everything wrong in this pursuit altogether.
How?
Because of our corrupt brains which seek happiness on the outside. We have been taught since long about the concept of happiness, but no one has bothered to tell the real essence of happiness. When we talk about happiness, it doesn’t mean things, people, places or events…. Or the comforts of having one or all of them, it is the inner solace, which we try to link to the external factors. But in reality, happiness is a secret achievement, not meant to be showcased to the outer world explicitly.
When we look for happiness in materialism, we are vulnerable to the fear of losing the same…
When we look for happiness in people, we make ourselves vulnerable to the fear of broken expectations…
When we seek happiness in situations, we are fearful of the events not happening at all….
The gist of the whole thing is … Never rely on anything for your happiness, for happiness is not in things. Things, people, events create fear in our minds or reliance. But in reality, we are meant to be self-reliant by nature. God created us as a single unit with all the capabilities. It is our own self who started relying on external factors for our happiness.
In reality, happiness is not on the outside, but in the personal comfort, which we feel when we are independent of other factors when we know ourselves, and discover our abilities, when we are confident about our journey and walk on the path, which we discover ourselves.
People come to me to ask, how I manage to work, how I manage to convince and still how I manage to calm my own self. I always say that this is because I know myself; inside out… that is the strength and comfort of my existence, for I never lend my key to happiness to anyone… maybe that is why I manage to sail through…
Try believing in yourself, before making others believe in you… and you would realize the immense potential of your abilities both in professional life and personal stride towards happiness…

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

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

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...

Yuun to mein - Hindi Poem

After days of being in solitude and calm, my mind took inspiration from these famous lines and my pen started working to complete a piece in the form of a poem.  ' Yuun to mein tanhaa hi tha safar mein Log judte gye karwaan banta gya….' Kuch mili apni si shaksiyatein Aur unke hi sahare me aage bdhta gaya… Sikha mene bahut iss safar mein… Naa jaane kyu fir bhi me pichadta gya… Jo sath nibhate chale sang mere… Unse hi me zindagi jeena sikhta gya… Ek aasra mil sa gya tha uss karvaan ki chaav mein Aisa laga jaise hu mein samundar ko cheerti naav mein Jaana tha naa mene tab Ki ye karvaan bhi chhalava sa hai Is kaarvaan ka sahara sabko hai Par apna yha koi na hai Khud par shaq to kabhi na tha Kabiliyat par ek anjana sa yakin sat ha Koshish ko apni kamm na karunga Apni manzil ko rahunga me dhundhta Kal ko ye kaarvaan rahe na rahe sang mere Manzil ko apni mein paake rahunga Koi ho ya na ho sang sath dene ko Sukoon ki chaav me ek...
