Are You Happy As Bees Making Honey?
Sep 6th
In this article we take a look at happiness and what makes us happy. Are you happy? When we are trying our best to work and make a living and create a life, we say things like: when I make X amount of dollars from my business I’ll be happy. The question I want to ask is, is it true?
Some people will answer YES and some will still not know until they reach that X dollar level. The thing is, money does not always equal happiness. There are a bunch of people who have money to last the forever and they are not now, or will they be happy.
On the other hand, some people relate money with happiness and security. Once you reach your financial goal you may find it makes you happy for a while. When you look at it closer you find out that soon you feel just like you did before. You start to wonder, what is my next goal and what will it take to make me happy. If you take a much closer look you see that you are in the same boat and now you just have more money. On a long term basis, making more money does not make you happy.
You have to think about what will make you happy. This is something that only you know, that is…what makes you happy. Once you can answer that you have the ‘dream’ and you can expand that dream into your reality. It is often said that we create our own future and to a degree it is true. I am not saying that you can have one hundred percent control over everything in your life. That being said, you can control your reaction. You can be happy or you can make a choice to not be happy. See, it is all up to you.
Knowing that you have a choice, you should outline a plan so you know what makes you happy and how you are going to get there. You do not have to stay on the island of happiness forever. Feel free to jump into a boat and sail to doom and gloom if you like, but once you do it might motivate you to come back to the island of happiness very quickly.
So, knowing what you know now, Plan your work and work your plan and I’ll see you in happiness land.
Happiness – A Divine Gift
Sep 5th
Objective of all the activities performed by the human beings in this planet is to acquire happiness. State of happiness cannot be attained with the help of power and pelf. Real happiness arises from the core of the heart. Money has no capacity to bring out real happiness and joy. If money had the capacity to bring out happiness then all the rich men would have been happy. In fact, they are farther from real happiness.
Happiness can be traced in the trivial things and actions. For acquiring it, we need not throw a grand party or to become a part of any party. It can be attained within the fences of our very home. The best kind of happiness can be found within our soul, which cannot be contrasted with any other kind of happiness. With this kind of eternal happiness all other things prove futile. People are rushing and resorting to various kinds of activities in the quest for happiness. They are spending a lot of money and time but are unable to make it their companion. Happiness cannot be purchased but it can be acquired free of cost.
Happiness is a state of mind. It is our mind which can make a hell a heaven and heaven a hell. In the realm of rat-race and cut-throat competition people have been loosing their happiness. They find themselves deprived from this basic divine gift. The source of their delight lies in diminishing their super ambitions and aspirations. People must be really candid and honest in relinquishing their super aspirations otherwise, they will be in a state of mirage that they have attained the stage of happiness which can be more fatal.
