Always treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Sometimes we wonder questions whether we are happy or if someone else is happy. These are questions which go round and round in circles only to come back and start all over again. Out of so many different descriptions and definitions of happiness, I believe to be closer to my definition of happiness. I do believe that happiness is a moment of an abstract feeling of pleasure. Also happiness is just like a winged bird. Maybe you have heard all these before. Still it doesn’t discourage me from once more trying to write about happiness.
Happiness is a long journey which people of all ages, race, color and size embark upon. Sometimes we pack our bags full of ideas, our concepts, our essays and our beliefs; while there is no space for anything else. Your motion of happiness leads you to your destination or that’s what you want to believe. Once you reach your destination then you will get busy putting things around you into your little mind.
You can travel all your life in search of happiness. Never mind that you have grown bitter with the passing years, your shadow is your only companion other than your faithful bag of ideas. But when will you realize that happiness is not just any journey but that is a journey of giving, receiving, living and let living? When will you realize your bag is nothing more than an unnecessary burden which you have been dragging for years? When?
If you have not realized by now then it is time to do some real serious thinking. Throw away the old things in your bag of ideas and instead fill them up with some different ideas. If you can do this and rise above you and your creative ideas of happiness then you can truly say that your journey has been worth it all. Because happiness is not just a journey indeed it is a long journey.
You can’t arrive at a particular spot and declare that you have found your cup of happiness, just waiting there for you to drink out of happiness is much more than that. You can’t buy a ticket and board a train or a plane and fly off to a destination, and think that is where your happiness lies. The capacity to be happy or not is within you. Sometimes it shows itself as little acts of kindness that you do and which makes you happy. Sometimes it’s just a moment in your life when you find something to smile about.
Sometimes happiness is in giving something to someone you like. Your happiness you discover is in the smile they give you back in return. Your happiness is just within you, so just let yourself reach and touch it with the fingers of your heart. Happiness is what makes your heart and mind smile. So embark on that journey which has no destination. It is a journey that has no end. Happiness is like that. If you spread your smile and kindness around it, it will come back to you in two folds double. So you don’t even need bags of ideas around you. You just need your mind and your heart to reach out to people because that is where happiness lays within you. Happiness is not a destination at all. It is a long never ending journey where the giver and the receiver benefit.
