Happiness

Happiness

I have been upset

For sometime now

Because of the way people act

Because of the manipulations happening around

Because of the gap between my desires and their fulfillment

And then a wise man told me today

To look at the bigger picture

To recognize what matters and what doesn’t

To understand if my happiness is a function of all these things or

All these things are a function of my happiness

And I understood!

Fearlessness and Happiness

How to be happy? People say you should learn to be happy all the time. Those u r unhappy with, why are u unhappy with them? Because u have expectations from them which they are not fulfilling. They are either below expectation which gives u a reason to crib. They could be beyond expectations which will give u a reason to be jealous of. If they meet your expectation then its to your advantage; comfortable situation. But is even that happiness?

This also sounds like there cant be a perfect situation. And that is true. When your happiness depends on others, there can never be a perfect situation.

This seems to be quite deep! Happiness is not being in a comfortable situation. Happiness is when you are able to explore your full potential with complete honesty. When you can with full purity express yourself. When there is nothing to hide and nothing to show off. When you are just as you are. But it wont be an easy goal. Because we are fearful! We are afraid of people trying to take advantage of this honesty. We are afraid of losing this freedom and innocence.

But fearful people cant be happy. We have to be fearless. Fearless towards ourselves. Fearless in accepting our self as we are and this will lead to more and more freedom and happiness!
