In today’s world, we have umpteen issues to be worried about. It varies from individual to individual. It could be the worry for the next meal or the worry to succeed in the next daunting task in our career. Then, there are always times in our lives, that we go into a state of despair. When nothing seems to go right and there appears no end to our problems. And the path is not easy. We are governed by the laws of society and our egos in this seemingly journey of endless difficulties and sorrow.
Yet one can’t miss finding an odd individual who can laugh off everything, even in the most difficult of situations. These are but a few, who may understand the meaning of life much beyond the daily grind. These are people who realize something more important than all of their problems – perhaps these are the people who live every moment of their life in full. Those who do not blame situations and people when something goes wrong.
Yes, that is right! These are people who CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. You can call them maniacs or die hard optimists. Nothing really matters to them. What does matter is to make the most of the situation. Envy them as much as you may, there is always potential to learn something from them.
Fact is that it’s not difficult to cultivate this habit. The world is far too big and beautiful to be worried about things that can be left behind. In every situation beyond despair, we have the choice to be a part of it or walk away to something we believe could be a better option. Everyone knows how futile it is to enter into a heated argument and expect that it will do a lot of good to everyone. At best it may work out to be an ego massage. The choice to walk out of such a situation and return with a calm head can really do wonders.
There is no point trying to push a wall because you don’t see the point of view. It’s so much easier to smile on yourself and make the choice to walk to the nearest window.
Remember – There is a choice called Happiness!

A tremendous article by the author, and right on the money! There’s a line that I love to use often: “Present is a gift; hence it is called so”. If we can tune our minds out of the past and the future, and just learn to live the moment, that is the key to true happiness.

A very short and sweet piece to remind ourselves that in the end, what really matters are not always those things or persons we run after. May be, listening to the leaves rustling in the wind or the birds chattering away, are greater treasures and pursuits – filling the soul. And in the process, making a lot of other activities simpler and more enjoyable.
Looks like a tough job, isn’t it?

A very thoughtful post. I agree with you, I think happiness is in our hands. Most people spend their entire lifetime looking out for happiness in everything around them and miss out on one place thats within themselves…:)
