Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone. The happiness you give makes you more happy than the happiness you receive…..
Learn to Live in the Present Moment
I believe that in life, to a large degree, the measure of happiness and the measure of our happy mind is determined by how much we are able to live with a peace of mind and by how much we are able to live in the present moment.
Maturity of us without question ,spend much of our lives worrying . We worry about many things, we worry about a variety of things :- all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments , so much so that we end up anxious , angry, frustrated, depressed and hopeless. More often we start to postpone our gratifications, our priorities , and above all our generosities , often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be better than today. However that “someday” usually never actually comes. That “someday” just passes by and never arrives.
In short, we are always so busy chasing after other material wealth that we miss out on life, the people we love are moving away and dying , our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away and finally when we are awoken and we realise that we have miss out on life. Many of us live as if Life were a dress rehearsal for some later date… It is not, and no one can guarantee that he or she will be around tomorrow.
When our attention is in the present moment, we push all our fears from our minds and it is this Fear that is the concern over events that might happen or might not happen in the future. To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your mind & attention back to the present.
Practise keeping your attention on the here and now and in this present moment. You will feel happier and more peaceful within yourself….
Why Are We So Unhappy….
If we are unhappy, it is because life is not as we want it. Life is not matching our expectations of how it “ought” to be and so we are unhappy. Do not expect to feel happy all the time. Happiness comes and go. Happiness only exists in the present moment. And in the very place where you are.
So we say , “I’ll be happy when I get this or I have that……. ” Well, Life is not that perfect and Life is about being exhilarated, frustrated, sometimes achieving and sometimes missing out.
Those who find happiness within are destined never to lose it. But those who seek it elsewhere are doomed never to find it. It is also never to grab happiness too firmly in your hands because when it slips through your fingers , you will be so sad that you will be unable to find the same happiness again. So spread Happiness to everyone you come across. give joy to your closest family members, to your close friends and whats more to those who really need it…..make them happy and Happiness will shine back to you. This is the universal law of happiness. The gift of happiness belongs to those who unwrap it !!
