Happiness

One of the article that I was reading makes me feel good. So I am taking some of the important points of it in my blog. As really happiness is among the most important aspect of our life and we tries to find happiness in several events around us.

Happiness As I see it

What makes you happy? Lots of money? No! then good health or Fame, power? Well happiness depends on neither of them. You can be happy without all of them.

It is a mental state. Great ascetics were supremely happy so much so that we have not experienced even a fraction of it.

You can always contradict by saying that how lack of money will make me happy.

Now think, does happiness lies in money or the things it can get us. It is in the comforts that it can give us.

You can be supremely comfortable yet unhappy. See the lives of film-stars . They have a lot of money but are very lonely. Money can buy you many things but not love.

Love and faith give happiness. When you were a child you got unconditional love from your parents. Faith in HIM makes us happy and takes burden off our shoulders.

When you are simple in thoughts and actions you feel light and happy.

What gives you happiness can be a cause of great suffering for the others.

e. g When you eat and enjoy meat some body has to pay it for its life and endure great suffering.

So what is the formula of happiness.

Here are some of the key points that we can keep in mind to remain ever happy.

1. Never hurt others. As you do to others is done to you.

2. Love unconditionally.

3. Try to find happiness in simple things. e.g. beauty of a garden.

4. Keep your ego under check. It is the source of unhappiness.

5. Have faith and live by it.

6. Meditate regularly.

7. Get plenty of exercise.

8. Be loyal to your spouse.

9. Live within your means.

10. Share your happiness with others.

Hope the above steps will keep you happy always.
