Being happy

This blog is an attempt to find the what, why and how of  "Being Happy"....

What is Happiness?

Well, I can't define what is this "happy feeling", it's just something to be felt.. 

At one point of time or other, we all have been happy ... we can't deny how good it feels "Being Happy". It's just awesome to be happy..

It's a positive space, which is a cherished time, a memorable experience, something to cling to..

Why be Happy?

I think Happiness is probably an outcome - an outcome of achievement, good luck, an event, a positive experience, a random act of goodness, etc..

I can't be 'just happy' all the times - I have a default state of mind, and then there are variations in it like happiness, sadness, irritation, frustration, anger, fear, comfort, discomfort, stressed, elated and likewise..

The feelings like sadness, frustration, irritation, anger, fear, stress make us feel bad/negative; our behaviour and actions tend to be in problematic zone.

This is the beauty of happiness; We feel good when happy; our behaviour and actions tend to be in friendlier and constructive zone.

How to be happy?

This section of the blog is what I intend to have as a learning for me as well...

• First of all, we have to know ourself - what we want and then, go about fulfilling it. The journey to the fulfilment is as important, if not more, as the fulfilment itself in terms of the aspect of "Being happy". We should celebrate/enjoy the journey as much as the fulfilment itself.
• We should understand the value of what we have. More importantly, we should be thankful and grateful for what we have. What is normal for us might be luxury for many others.
• We should learn to forgive - ourselves as well as others. In forgiveness, lies the power of healing.
• Happiness increases by spreading - try to give and receive happiness.
• The most difficult times are the ones of difficulties and sadness - try to understand and imbibe that time doesn't remain the same - there are going to be difficulties and struggles in life - faith might be of lot of help here. Happiness can be just around the corner.
• Be ready to help and also, open to taking help. We can help each other and good relations create positive vibes.

As conclusion, "practice makes a man perfect" - so, just "practice to be happy". There is another saying "Nobody is perfect" - so, may be we can never be perfectly happy ... 

All the best for "Being happy" !!
