Everyone at some hardest point in their life definitely searches for Happiness, Either internal or external. Definitely asks themselves, to find whom they really are, what they really want, what makes them happy, and Are they happy with what they have??

 

Today, let's do a quest, to find answers. If you got answers to those questions you will automatically start working in the way that makes you happy and satisfied

 

 

 

--> Does Material possessions really makes one happy??

 

Material possessions bring Difference. Traveling in an air-conditioned latest model car is really different from riding a bike.  You agree right. But after we bought one thing, very next and always the better version replace the first version.

Eventually, We will move on from one thing to another, another to other and we will never be content with what we have. You can also find happiness and content in a lot of material possessions, but it is always short lived. Because the difference or contrasts always start affecting our ideology with time.

 

-->Does relationship between persons brings Happiness??

 

"The Relationship" never fails to make a person feel different. It affects his/her lifestyle, changes the way of looking at things, it makes an individual look at situations or issues from a different perspective. Love or Relationship ties an emotional attachment.. it brings a difference in the person's life.. that makes the person happy as long as the opposite person reciprocates with the same intensity.

 

But, the relationship fails at the time someone or you yourself were unable to fulfill expectations/comparisons of yourself or from others or others upon you.

 

How many expectations and comparisons that your bonds have upon you?

 

Do you feel the relationship you have were influencing your decisions in every aspect of life?

 

Are you happy with your bonds?

 

 

-->Does setting short-term, long-term goals,

Pursuing your Passion makes one happy??

 

After selecting passion as your profession or doing the job which actually makes your wish come true. It pushes your limits in your work, it makes you step out of your comfort zone and hence ending improvising yourself. Ultimately, it's about upgrading, improving yourself, making yourself better today than what you were yesterday.

 

Maybe some find adrenaline rush doing this thing, then what about the briefest of moments of the absence of everything??

 

-->Does inner peace will make one happy??

 

Sometimes people trying to escape psychological uncomfortableness by smoking, drinking, and with different kinds of entertainment (parties, friends, t.v, movies, porn, phone, internet) with valid explanations.

 

Have you ever find inner peace without entertainment?

Reconciliation with soul is impossible a lot of times, but have you ever tried to do it once without external support??

 

 

For me personally, I will be the happiest person if I earn for myself and my parents

My married life is gods gift I am really happy with it.

But being independent makes me happy. -Anonymus

 

A lot of people reason themselves as they were happy. How long can you reason yourself?

 

 --> Does satisfaction makes happy??

 

A lot of people's perspective is, satisfaction is key to happiness. When we do things which makes us (either cardinal or emotional desires) satisfied.  But, Most of the time we find happiness in satisfying others.

 

Sometimes satisfaction may cost high and time taking (Shopping, grooming), and sometimes less time and money (giving alms or offering help), sometimes it may be mere attention and appraisal.

 

Sometimes some people give up their comfort zone to make others satisfied. Whether the happiness is permanent or not, irrespective of the cost we are welcoming it.

 

At which point are you standing in your life? To get satisfied, or to satisfy others!? Or sailing in two boats at a time without inner peace??

 

--> What do you feel right now? Happy or sad or balanced??

 

The true state of mind will be realized only on self-realization.

 

Now, Let's pay attention to how we are feeling. The problem is that many of us have forgotten how to do that.  we have trained ourselves to be really good at ignoring our feelings and emotions while we earn bread for our lives.

So the first thing to do is start paying attention to your feelings. Pause whatever you’re doing many times during the day, and notice how you’re feeling at this precise moment.

 

 -->The last question is, does accepting reality makes people happy??

 

Happiness is like a remote control, we lose it every time, we go crazy looking for it and many times without knowing it, we are sitting on top of it - Umesh from Quora

 

In the quest for happiness, One's behavior and perception of each situation which in turn will result in him being happy or not,

 

Once upon a time, there was a man teaching his son how to drive in their New car. While they were driving in an abandoned street, suddenly a dog ran into the path from side turn. Son got confused upon the unexpected interruption, slid the car to the corner by an electric pole. The new car's dome got scratched. Son got scared and ashamed to look at his father's face.

 

"It's alright son, concentrate on learning driving now, this car is not new anymore,".

 

Son's smile stretched along with respect to hearing his father words. That day Son understood life beyond appearances, and never let his positive vibe down.

 

Always remember, when one door to the happiness closed, another door opens, but often we look so long at the closed door and do not look at the door opened up for us.

 

Father never let material possession destructs his bond with his son. Son satisfied that he saved the life of a dog. In the end, both achieved the inner peace.

 

Stay wonderful, stay blessed.
