Happiness and you . .

"If you are not happy as you are, where you are, you will never be happy.”

"I am not happy , with things around me , with myself , I dont know what to do",was the voice, on the other end of the phone. Voice of a very close friend, in the middle of the night.

Happinees is a state of mind.Happiness is the number of desires fulfilled divided by the desires we have. We are in the pursuit of fulfilling desires, focussing on the numerator. This will never make you happy. As you fulfil a desire in yourself , more will come. The denominator increases, reducing your happiness. Instead shift your attention to the denominator. As you reduce desires your happiness increases. Remove desires and you reach infinite happiness.Removing desires means removing desires in urself that do not allign to the true you,and the your lifes true goal.

At times you may be happy but that happiness is dependent on everything around you being just right and the state in mind you are in.

You can achive this by knowing the value of the present moment. Gain insight by being a witness, by becoming more aware and take all that the world is offering, and you can attain true happiness. Create some space in your mind , the whole universe will allign itself and start gushing into the sapce created.

Three words that defined all that I have seen around me ,especially in the last 6 months were
" Paradox, humor,change ".
Paradox - Life is a mystery dont try to slove it
Humor - The best thing to do is to laugh about urself
Change - Everything in life changes, nothing remains the same.

After I told my friend, she did have a smile on her face, and she is felt much better!!

May be it might just help someone trying to find out whats happening in their lives and those who are in the pursuit of true happiness..

Keep smiling..!!!
