Being Happy.

          I often ask people with whom I am comfortable about their aims and few morals or principles that they follow in their life.

          When I was texting an old classmate of mine, I asked her what was the principle that she followed and admired the most; to which she said ‘Being happy with what I have rather than keep longing for more’

         I felt, it surely was a fabulous thought; very few people in this world would be content with what they actually have and not want something more to be happy.

          Each one of us has desires deep inside us, it may be either to make money or own a big house or a branded car or for the matter of fact any of those expensive or cool stuffs.

          The desire may even turn out to be few inexpensive things like scoring the highest marks in the examination or winning at some sports meet or so.

         We often give out our hundred percent to achieve or fulfill our desires, we toil days and nights together for the fulfillment. In spite of that we may actually not reach the extent that we had thought.

         We may turn out to be the second best in the exam or sports or we could only afford a little bit smaller house or buy something less expensive.

         When that happens we would obviously be hurt, and feel there isn’t happiness in not having the best of the things.

But what we fail to realize is the happiness totally lies in us, it lies in how we see and take the things.

         It’s one of the best feelings in the world when we feel satisfied and are happy with what we have achieved and with the things that we have; there wouldn’t be any bad feeling on not getting the best.

I would like to  conclude the article by quoting the lines that I had once read about being happy with the things that we have.
