What everyone wants from Life?




"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?"
- Albert Einstein

 Daily life can be made more full of fun and cheering in other words happier. Its just the matter of our choice, it all depends upon our ATTITUDE that makes us feel happy or  unhappy. Its natural every time one just can't have 'The Gala Time', we all meet with all kinds of situations during the day. We constantly go through various situations and circumstances, its again the matter of choice either we can choose the option of thinking about the unhappy events or we can choose to refuse to think about them and instead relish the happy moments. We should not let them to influence and affect our feelings and reactions. The addition of happiness to our lives can only be made by us, if we let outer happenings to influence our moods we become their slaves. We let our happiness to be determined by the outer forces and thus we loose our freedom. On the other hand, we can free ourselves from the outer influences by looking at things more positively and changing our attitude.


What is HAPPINESS?


Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. It is usually experienced when there are no worries, fears or obsessing thoughts, and this usually happens, when we do something we love to do or when we get, win, gain or achieve something that we value. It is a feeling of inner peace and satisfaction. It seems to be the outcome of positive events, but it actually comes from the inside, triggered by outer events. For most of the people happiness is transitory and momentary because they let changing outer situations or events or circumstances affect it. The best way to deal with it is by gaining the inner peace because as mind become more peaceful, it becomes easier to choose being happy as habit. 
If the person is happy from inside he or she carries an aura with him or her and makes any place out there more energetic, powerful, lively and positive. If one share his or her happiness with someone automatically he or she spreads happiness and make the people around happy. Happiness together encourages a prosperous growth. It is like perfume you can not pour it on others without getting few drops on you.


"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."

- The Buddha
