Sometimes we make life more complicated than it is. We attach our happiness to achievement and then look for it in all the wrong ways and in all the wrong places.
Of course, you don’t have to live like this. If you feel like you are, it’s time to simplify things. It’s time to clear the air and get back to the basics.
Simplifying your pursuit of happiness is not seeing how little you can get by with – that’s poverty – but how efficiently you can put first things first, and use your time accordingly to pursue the things that make a difference and mean the most to you.
To truly flourish in life you have to let go a little, lose yourself in the moment and become fused with other people, experiences, and tasks.
This happens sometimes when you are engrossed in a challenge, or when the artist inside you becomes one with the creative task at hand. It happens sometimes while you’re playing sports, or listening to music, or lost in a good book, or when you feel completely enveloped by another’s love. And it happens most when you emotionally connect with someone who shares your visions.
In other words, long-term happiness isn’t just about conscious achievement; it’s also about the unconscious part of your mind naturally inter wining with the ideas, passions, work, people, songs, and stories that move you... :)
If somebody ask me, what makes me happy..? Well, my answer to that won't be big disc parties, expensive shopping list , world tours... But, it includes one simple night at gurudwara with friends, or watching a movie which relates to my emotions, reading a book which takes u too a dream land, sitting quietly besides my pet and playing to the tune of his innocent games, spending time with kids, a simple coffee with an old friend listening to as how their life have moved on, listening to music on silent nights, laying besides the one I love and listening to his heart talks...
Life is quiet simple, full of simple pleasures and yet we confuse it so much with all our long list of desires. Waiting for the perfect one for our entire life indeed we do forget that how much fun it is to know a stranger and how full of life it is to spend some extraordinary moment with them to be cherished later in memoirs.
With our lives, we get so busy settling on to our living standards n society pleasures that we forget that time spent at college with empty pockets but most genuine smiles still give us a warm feeling inside which is unbeatable to any of the expensive nights spent at a 5 star.
No wonder as somebody have said.. "Life is all about living one day at a time..." Maybe this one day is also about people we love, like, wanna spend our time with, wanna act crazy along, be full of flaws and still laugh over it like insanes, one we can sleep peacefully without being bothered about the morning next for we are sure that it will only be beautiful, people we can laugh around, cry our hearts too, can demand a hug and force it also sometimes, can always steal a smile and give it back any moment...
Life is all about being you and being happy... So, let's live today and be sure of only one thing.. "We lived it well!" :)
Lots of Love! Anji
