Happiness

Have, you ever thought, from where does this happiness, comes from and how does it come?

Happiness, is an emotion a feeling, in which one experiences contentment, gratitude, fulfillment or satisfaction in one’s life. Happiness, is the gift from God. Last month, we marked the International Day of Happiness, which was celebrated on 20^th March. The day, is kept as an occasion, to recognize the importance of happiness, in the lives of people, around us.

I read, a story in Reader’s Digest lately, It’s, an old folk tale of a king, who ordered a hunt for the shirt of the happiest man in his kingdom. But, when the king found out the man, in fact he had; no shirt. It is, not the circumstances which make us happy, but, managing or tackling the circumstances; by grace, and power of God that is going to bring happiness in our lives. Once, we delight in God, for sure we will be filled with Happiness.

The scriptures, also tell us in so many places to remain happy, as in Prov 17:22 it says A cheerful heart is a good medicine.

Proverbs 15:13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

The day before, my sister, sent beautiful pictures of trees and flowers, of the country where she is staying now. I got, very happy on seeing the beautiful pictures. Even, though the picture gave me momentary happiness, but a dozen endorphins were released in my brain; which helped me in fighting my disease and released healing powers.  God, has made this earth for us to enjoy and remain happy. Whereas, nowadays people have lost interest, to look around the beauty of the nature. We, should live a free life as that of a butterfly, a bird or an animal of the jungle. I think, they are much, much happy then us. People nowadays, are just slaves to selfishness, jealousy, ego, greediness, hatred, hurting others; thereby, the happiness, peace, love; have started been depleting, from their lives.  Once we, give happiness to others, our life too will be filled with immense happiness. Even in our life we may experience ups and down but if there is self-pleasure in you then happiness is sure which will bring inner joy in you.

“It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” -Charles Spurgeon

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present”. Jim Rohn

“Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” - Dalai Lama XIV
