We are living in an amazing world filled with lots of opportunities and inspiring ideas. But how many of us realized that they were covered with a thick layer of dark ideas. The deeper we excavate the best comes out that is the reality underneath, though most of the people don’t care about it.
You may wonder where I am directing your ideas. But I would like to open a new window of your room and invite you to see a different scene which is already there but you have not seen yet. But it is totally up to you to decide whether you are going to see the sky filled with clouds or mountains get blurred with thick mist.
How many times have you complained about unhappiness or depression in yourself? Have you ever spent couple of minutes thinking about root causes of those? The most of the times unhappiness is generated because of an external thing.
Why are we unhappy? The simple reason is we are not getting everything what we expect.
“The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about it” George Bernard Show said.
Just think for a while how many thing are we expecting from outside world and can you remember how many of them were fulfilled? You might see a strong negative relationship between happiness and expectations set on external world.
So the point I want to emphasis is that the true happiness lies within yourself. So start discovering yourself and spend some more time for yourself as it is the most of the individuals just neglect. If you can find any source of happiness inside yourself it would be eternal as long as your heart pounds. It will change its shape with time but it will never leave you.
For an instance if you can remember a place that you have been and experienced ,which is filled with fragrances of flowers while cool breeze coming from far away mountains hugging you just Nuwareliya or a similar place bounded by lots of lovable memories,
That can anchor your ship of thoughts with inspirations that would fuel you to lead a happy life. This is a simple example to illustrate my idea but it is highly relative to each one of us. But simple key logic working here is to make sure that source of happiness is lying within yourself and capable of utilizing it whenever needed. So you can simply become the master of your happiness not a slave.
So start from now itself. The hardest part comes from discovering of yourself. Be honest to yourself and strive to find out what are the things that make you happy most. But make sure it is freely available to you to use it whenever needed. Most of the inventors did not do their experiments to become famous, most of the writers did not write their books to sell their books in millions. What they needed was their happiness by doing what they are mostly passionate about. That is why they got enough confidence to continue their work without shaking even almost all the world began to suspect about their success.
So the new window that I opened is with you. So as I mentioned earlier it is up to you how you grab the things that are out of window. So build a model that suits yourself to achieve success and happiness.
Happy the man happy he alone,
He, who can call today his own:
He who, secure within can say:
‘Tomorrow, do thy worst:
For I have lived today’.
