Happiness

Once a bunch of 50 kids was asked by their teachers to pick up a ballon each, blow it up, write their respective name on it and give it back to the teachers. The teachers dropped all balloons in another room randomly and then asked the kids to find the balloons with their respective names in 2 mins. Kids frantically started looking for their balloons but none of them could find in 2 mins. Then one of the teachers asked them to pick any balloon and give it to the person whose name is written on it. In 2 mins every one had their balloons. Moral of the story is that when we frantically look for happiness outside we fail miserably. And when we look for happiness within us, around us and in everything God has given us and then share that happiness with others or make others happy we create our own happiness. True, enduring happiness comes from within and multiplies by spreading it around us. We have always heard from saints and masters that happiness is an inside job and everyone needs to generate their own happiness every single moment. So how does one go about generating that happiness? Here are few ways to generate happiness as experienced and shared by spiritual masters, leaders, great personalities who not just generated their own happiness but have been kind enough to share the wisdom of how to do it.

Happiness is acceptance – accept situations and people as they are. Stop trying to change them and focus on changing yourself

Happiness is knowing that every perspective is right and therefore not judging anyone

Happiness is learning and implementing the art of letting go

Happiness is dropping expectations from every relationship and giving for the sake of giving

Happiness is understanding whatever we do, we do it for our own joy and for our own peace.

Happiness is being kind and spreading that kindness everywhere.

5. Be in your natural state, full of gratitude and living in the present moment – To generate happiness is to be in our natural state – state of an infant in which we were born.Nothing is more joyful than an infant’s laugh, and nothing is more beautiful than an infant’s smile. And all of us were that infant at one time. We came to the earth with a propensity for joy, and lost it because of the lies we’ve been taught here. Know the truth about your pure self, the divine pure soul that you are and the child of God that you are and this truth will always keep generating happiness for you and the world around you. You will be filled with gratitude for this gift of life and every little thing that you are blessed with including the trials and tribulations because all of it put together makes it a holistic human experience that all of us spiritual beings are blessed to get by the divine grace of God. And when you cherish all of this you will enjoy every moment of life because you will be living happily in the present moment always and not regretting the past or worrying about the future.

Happiness is inside you. Create it. Generate it using all the ways and avenues above. Make your relationship with you unconditionally happy and you will see happiness in every relationship. Embrace unconditional happiness – I am going to be happy in every situation no matter what.

The easiest way we can be happy is by serving God and His creations and making them happy. For God is love and love is God and without love we are bereft. Happiness is a choice and you can choose it every single moment of life because as it is rightly said “There is no path to happiness. Happiness itself is the path.”

Happy International day of Happiness – let’s make this day an occasion to remind our selves that everyday can be world happiness day if each one of us chooses to create our own happiness and determines to make as many people happy as possible 😇😃🤗
