“Don’t rely on someone else for your happiness and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can’t love and respect yourself – no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are – completely; the good and the bad – and make changes as YOU see fit – not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
Stacey Charter
Happiness is a very difficult thing especially when you think you have nothing to be happy about, but the truth is that happiness has to be created by yourself and cannot be achieved from anywhere outside, you cannot pursue happiness because it is not something to achieve, because it is not outside but it is within you, it is inside you. No matter what the cinemas or the world have thought you that you can have happiness if you make 'X' amount of money or you can go multiple vacations or that car or that job or anything else. Happiness is the state you choose to be.
“It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”
Dale Carnegie
You have to feel it, you have multiple reasons to be happy throughout the day and yet to choose to be sad and curse yourself that you are not given a happy life, you choose not to see the happy part of your life, sometimes life can be tough but there is always something to be happy about, always. But this doesn't meam being content with life, you should always try to progress, be better at everything, because that is also part of happiness, happiness is not the final destination because you will always find a new destination once you reached the old one, happiness is about the process of reaching your destination, because when you are happy then you are bigger than your life, you are bigger than everybody thought of you, the state of happiness is the state when the soul is most free, trying to be better is also part of this progress to happiness.
Some external things can bring you happiness but you can't enjoy happiness by leaving in the future, to experience happiness you should e living in the present, soaking in every breath of being alive and present, you would never be able to enjoy anything if you always live in the future and in constant fear, you need to live in the present to enjoy yourself and improve yourself, every situation you will be presented something to be sad about but rising above this is what is needed to be really happy.
This is my advice to you Vishal, follow your heart and always remember your life motive.
What if after you die God asks you:
So, How Was Heaven?
Prepare for one hell of an answer.
