With this article, I am imparting the basic knowledge about being Happy always! Sounds strange? Check this out!!
Who wants to be happy? I am sure all of us would raise our hands very sportingly! Yes, genuinely all of us need Happiness in our lives, in our surroundings etc. But, have we ever analyzed the vital facts to achieve happiness? Let us find out where we go wrong in getting Happiness…
To kick off the topic, let us look into a few things which attributes to Happiness. Most importantly, why do we expect Happiness from others? We expect Happiness from our parents, brothers, sisters, spouse, children, friends and relatives. The answer to this question is, because we are emotionally attached to all of those from whom we are expecting Happiness. It is so simple to answer this question but have you ever felt that this is the prime reason for not being Happy? Is Happiness just meant to be getting from others only? Have you ever thought what have you done to keep yourself Happy? I am putting up a few things to keep oneself Happy consistently.
Firstly, to be Happy externally, your inner soul should be Happy. This is a mirror-image of what we feel at heart! Of course, sometimes we convert our frowns to little smiles — but that is done artificially. You are not at all happy within yourself, but pretending to be happy outside? Do we call this as Happiness? I am sure many of us agree and say a big ‘No’ to this. Yes, this is not called Happiness. So, keep yourself in such a condition or create such an ambiance where you need not run behind happiness. Mould your mind in such a way that your mind is always blissful and will never give out negative energies. By doing so, happiness makes its way to you!
We all try to make most of our special and important moments a happier one. But, I suggest you even try to make the non-important moments, a happier one. You will absolutely not feel the importance of making those moments happier at that point of time, but in a long run you will definitely understand the values of those moments. This helps in keeping you happy consistently. Means, you need not feel happier only at special occasions, you do have a right and you ought to be happy everyday and for eternity!
Stop expecting happiness from others. It sounds very outlandish, but yes only when you stop expecting happiness from others, you get happiness from others. Do not think that it is mandatory for others to give you happiness. Instead rethink and learn what you can do to keep yourself happy always. Pamper yourself, and do what your heart feels like. Do not try to do anything just for the sake of it. Whatever you do, do it heartily and it certainly makes you feel very nice about what you have done. Isn’t it a great feeling then?
Please understand, Happiness need not be materialistic — it is inbound and found in oneself only. Do not loiter around here and there to find happiness — it is within YOU and only you can give it to others!
Self Happiness is keeping you completely pleased. It means you do not need to others to make you happy. You are capable enough to have that joy in your life by just being yourself most of the times. It could be doing anything that you want! It could be reading what you want, listening to music, dressing up, dancing for yourself, going out for a dinner with someone, check on a picnic with friends or family….the list goes on…it could be anything but definitely what you ‘like’ or ‘want’ the most!
Spend time with yourself, rather talk to yourself. Discuss with yourself about your positive and negative aspects. Feel happy about your positives but at the same time, make an action-plan to overcome your negatives. When you do not have any negative traits in you, your mind is automatically in cheerful condition.
Laugh at yourself and relate every moment of life, firstly with yourself. This is a great tool in keeping contact with oneself and you always feel you are with someone very close to your heart. Can anybody be a better friend than you to yourself? This is a great treat which you give to yourself by gifting a nice friend to you.
Think positive or be optimistic to keep yourself in high spirits. I concur; most of you would say this is a very philosophical thought! But yes, this philosophical thought will definitely stack happiness on you. Let us see how it works — a simple e.g. question yourself what will you achieve by thinking negative or being pessimistic? Nothing, right? Negative Aspect - You will be more worried about the future consequences of such incidents. Positive Aspect - You even spoil the little happiness at that moment, though it is temporary. Therefore, forget thinking about the consequences negatively, instead enjoy every moment of life king-size!
Prominently, try and understand all those factors of goodness that makes your heart feel delighted. Once you finish this task, you will certainly know what needs to be done in order to pamper your heart, rather yourselves. So, go ahead and do all those nice and good things and feel happy. I don’t think it is a tough task; considerably it is indeed a very easiest one!
Spread happiness around you and keep everyone at ease. As said earlier not to expect happiness from others, but you should spread love and joy around you. The finest thing of life is to “make others happyâ€. You need to always try to find a chance where you can shower moments of joy on others. This boosts up the positive energy level in you. And when you have positive energy in you, undeniably you are obviously incredibly happy! So, seek for an opportunity to unfold happiness to your loved ones, friends, relatives, neighbours and do not forget those little pets in your house. It will have an immense effect on anyone for that matter!
By and large, happiness cannot be bestowed by each and everyone. But if you inculcate this in your nature, you can definitely confer happiness to so many around you in your life. With respect to this, firstly it is very essential to be happy with oneself before giving it to others. Otherwise this splendid task of endowing happiness becomes a mere show-off business.
I think I have intended everything that matters to keeping oneself Happy!
Stay Happy! Keep yourselves exultant at all times!

Concepts Of Happiness And Success

Moni Arora asked:
Happiness and success are two concepts intertwined with one another. These are two of the most important ingredients that would eventually define a person’s life.
If one would think about it, happiness and success are two things that are relative to a person’s point of view since these are dependent on one’s ideologies. Happiness and success relate to a target or reference point.
A person may say that he is happy because he just finished his studies or he just met a fine woman. A person may say he is successful because he was just promoted to a higher position. When one talks about happiness and success, a certain goal or perhaps an achievement is always the reference point.
A person will constantly ask himself if he is happy or if he can consider himself successful. Many people become depressed because they cannot seem to make sense of all the things that are happening in their lives. The most important thing to remember, when evaluating one’s happiness and success, is that people need to limit their assessment using their own personal standards.
Often times, depression comes about because people rely so much on the expectations of others. Have you heard college students who don’t do as well as they could because they don’t like the course which they are in? They say that they don’t really like the course because they were just forced by their parents or they had to take it for some other reason than because they liked it. Professionals also experience this kind of depression. Oftentimes, the workplace becomes a battleground wherein people live their lives according to the expectations of other people.
Again, happiness and success depend on one’s own views. Let us look at a musician’s point of view regarding happiness and success. A musician would love nothing more than to create music that comes from his soul. Depending on his ideologies regarding music, he can say that he is successful and happy with what he is doing.
A true musician wouldn’t care less if his records sold millions or not, as long as his music stays true to its original intentions when the records were made. A musician can also look at happiness and success in terms of the number of people who patronize his music, if he truly believes that music is nothing if no one hears and appreciates it. It really depends on one’s ideologies.
The only thing that we can infer from these two concepts is that these are mutually intertwined. One can say that success brings happiness and happiness is an essential ingredient towards success (i.e. Being happy with one’s work will bring beautiful fruits of labor).
Happiness and success are two things that all people aspire for in life. There can never be a single definition for both of these concepts. Even dictionaries wouldn’t dare give exact definitions for these words.
Perhaps, only the human heart can define these concepts. You will know when you are happy or when you can call yourself successful if your heart says so.
This is why the heart should always be consulted when making important decisions in life. Yes, of course, this is just a metaphor but we all know that the heart speaks reasons that the mind can never comprehend.
