Happiness is the most important and major ingredient in anybody’s life. It’s a decision that anyone must take, no matter what. I will try to be happy. God is with me, and I am a strong person. I am not alone. We should always try to smile, laugh, be cheerful, and live in the present moment.
People often ask what is the secret of a happy life?. The answer is “We shouldn’t try to find happiness in materialistic things. Happiness lies within us.”
The more people try to find happiness in objects, the more sad they become. Some people find pleasure in activities like smoking and drinking. Some people can’t even stand in the same room.
If happiness lies in objects like money, and assets, then people will ask for more and more. Then, one day it might become a source of sorrow. WHY?. It’s because greed keeps on increasing, and eventually, it will bring stress, misery, sorrow, and health issues.
By controlling our desires, we will become more peaceful. It will help us experience inner happiness. When we realize this reality, our lives will be more satisfying, and we will experience inner joy.
Happiness spreads the more you give it to others. It’s not always necessary to spread happiness by giving money or expensive gifts. If you are bringing a smile to someone’s face, it’s a kind of service.
If you are able to lighten the burden of someone it will bring happiness to them. Imagine a small child is unable to do his homework, and his elder brother comes and helps him. It will bring a smile to his face.
In our day-to-day lives, people are mostly lonely. We have seen a gain in nuclear families. Old people are living either alone or in old age homes. Young people are moving out of town mostly because of jobs. As a result, they meet their parents either once a week, month, or during festivities. Loneliness brings sadness, depression, and various other problems.
Lord Krishna told Arjun in Kurukshetra Bhumi about happiness in which our soul rejoices, and it can also lead to the end of all our suffering.There are mostly three categories of it:
1. Satvik happiness: To achieve this kind of happiness, one has to follow discipline. It will seem very hard to follow it initially, but once it is attained, the result is sweet, almost like honey in the nectar. It is generally attained by pure intellectual knowledge.
2. Rajsik happiness: This pleasure is generally derived from materialistic things.When our five senses start deriving pleasure from things around us. It creates a combined feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. But this happiness is usually for a very short period of time. It will give pleasure in the beginning, but in the end, it will give poisonous results.
3. Tamsik happiness: It is the lowest form of happiness. It is generally achieved by activities such as sleeping. It doesn’t nourish the soul. People often misunderstand this activity as a pleasure.
The happiness derived from negligence, sleep,or any activity which provides a tiny sense of pleasure.
We should try to reduce negativity around us.
There are a few areas where we should focus on gaining happiness:
1. Curb your ambition: It means you should be happy and satisfied with what you have and don’t be greedy.
2. Learn to give: We should not always think of gaining from others but focus on giving.
Learn to return: What all we are taking from society, we should give it back. Help the people of the society.
Consider the world as your second family. Do something for them. Follow qualities like kindness and show gratitude and love to others. Before doing anything for others, always think,” What if this happens to me “.
3. Focus more on action than results: When we focus more on results, our potential declines. We become anxious as a result. It affects the outcome of our actions. When we are focused, it helps in bringing out our inner capabilities to a great extent.
4. Create a balance between head and heart: There should be a balance between faith and logic. You should use your brain along with your heart.
5. Do Meditation: Give daily some of your time to God. Pray, meditate, and talk to God. Ask for love and blessings.
If we follow the above things, we will always be happy. Always spread happiness around you
