"Pursuit of happiness..........................." By:- "yash" (Sandeep Choudhary)

Well, today I would like to be a bit philosophical . Somedays back I had been to one shopping mall and saw a showroom of "Swatch" (for those who dont know about it ,its one of the expensive brands of watches from Switzerland) and I told my friend that I would like to buy a watch from here . Though I already own two watches, one of "Titan" and other of "Fast track" ,which are considered to be a brand good enough in India but I was coveted for "Swatch".
When I was returning from the mall to my apartment I saw a guy who had amputated hands . After seeing him I had that unsettling feeling that "how lucky I am"!!!
In our entire life, we run after the wordly pleasures and try to figure out happiness out of that materialistic outlook. But now I firmly believe that happiness is a state of mind and pleasure is a mere event.
Happiness comes from within , "if you think that you are happy you are, and if you think you aren't you aren't.
Pleasure is driven by egocentric desire ,on the contrary happiness is related to the longing of the soul . Pleasure remains for a moment but happiness stays forever. But to make that happiness stay with you , one should have ability to find happiness which resides in your innerself.
Desire to see a good movie is pleasure but being lost in your fantasy is happiness .
Doing introspection is pleasure but thinking about growth is happiness.
Being addicted to drug and alchohal is a pleasure but having a feeling of euphoria is happiness. Just having a dinner with your beloved in a good restaurant is pleasure but anticipating that moment is happiness which stays with you forever . Flirting with someone or having Sex with someone is pleasure which stays for the time he/she has that charm or beauty but loving someone truly is happiness which stays with you forever .(According to me loving someone truly is the biggest happiness and biggest strength of one's life) . Feeling blissful after being complemented is mere pleasure but taking someone's rude comment sportingly is happiness.
Giving punishment to someone or to take venegeance is pleasure but to forgive someone is happiness.
When I was supposed to leave for "Mata VaishnavDevi" darshan last week I asked one of my friends ,"what do you want from God ?" . She told me "nothing, I already have enough given by God , such a wonderful family, gud friends and this beautiful world , I dont want anything more from god". I saw so much contentment in her answer and I too felt contented . To be satisfied with what you already possess is real happiness , It doesnt mean that you shouldn't keep your aims high in life, you must set your goals but the first thing is you must be happy with what you already have and then try to achieve your goals beacause , If you aren't happy then even after achieving your goal you will feel unsatisfied and will have dsire to get more.
Dont search happiness around you, Happiness is in your innerself .Try to bring it out .
Cheer up and Live your Life King Size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
