Want to be happy?

Overtime, we have linked happiness to external resources. I want to shatter this belief that materialistic things, people or your external circumstances make you happy. Happiness is totally an internal state of mind. If you will seek happiness outside, my dear friend you will never be able to find it. Things, people and situations can make you happy or rightly put ‘elated’ for a moment but happiness has no relation to it.

Okay, let us discuss this level by level. We all might have heard this quite often that money can’t buy happiness. Not sure if you’ve experienced it or not. Don’t worry a simple question will answer this for you. For how long does a new thing or a person has given you constant state of happiness?

One day?

One month?

One year?

Every external thing or situation comes with an elated state with an expiry date. Presence of a person can give you a very subtle state of happiness even for long. But what will happen when the same person leaves? That same person will be a cause of sadness, guilt and frustration. Then what is the essence of happiness?

Its STABILITY

Benefits of stability are unmatched. Any situation will not affect you to the core. It will act as a protection against the upcoming odds. I am not saying that do not experience emotions, abandon people from your life. Rather, happiness is not an outcome, it is the source of all the positivity in your life, your success and relationships. I am decoding happiness as being attached to self, and celebrating your own existence in this temporary world.

Keeping your own self above anything and anyone.
