“Happiness is a
butterfly, which, when pursued is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if
you sit down quietly, may alight upon you” ... Nathaniel Hawthorne
Happiness is a special thing which everyone wants to
achieve. Unfortunately most of the people never reach the level of happiness
they always desire. To be truly happy is
a question of how we start and not about how we end, of what we want and not
about what we have. Happiness always comes through positive thinking and
attitude. A person with negative thinking can never be happy. According
to me there are four things, we must do to achieve happiness.
1. Don’t judge
anyone: It is always easier to see other’s weakness than their strength.
Judging people always give us a bad feeling and there is nothing good about
this. Just, Love the people around you, try to make them happy and create a
surrounding full of joy and fun. When we
start judging, we stop loving and without love, there is no happiness.
2. Accept yourself: No
one is born perfect. We all have some personality traits we hate. We must
accept the fact that we can’t become perfect. Start believing that you are
unique and special and that’s something you should be grateful for.
3. Spend time with
the people, you love the most: As I
have already mentioned without love, there is no happiness. Relationships give
us happiness more than any material in the world. Love is well above all the
material lust. So, spend quality time with your loved ones.
4. Express your
feelings: Feelings in any form must be expressed. If you suppress your
feelings, you are never going to be happy. We all love our mothers, but how
many of us say this on a daily basis. Expressing your love not only makes you
happy but it also gives immense pleasure to others.
“Consider the following. We humans are social animals. We come into this world as a result of other’s action. We survive here on dependence on others. Whether, we like it or not we always benefit from other’s action. For this it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.”... Dalai Lama
Happiness is our ultimate reason for living. Happiness is really all there is and all there ever will be; all else is only a means to happiness. Aristotle has rightly described it as “The highest good."
