Happ -Y- Ness

The purpose of our lives is to be Happy - Dalai Lama

It has been long since I have written and now that I have been away for a while, my blog is pleading me to come back ! (Thanks to the endless Study load :) Amidst the few busy and tiring weeks that I have had, times when I wanted to shoot myself (literally), I found moments of "Happiness" through the haunting hours of work ! 

Being a person who always assumes and expects Reality rather than Fantasy, it turns out difficult to find happiness all the time.  Sigh ! Well, now I have learnt it after being thrown into   'Reality' where one has only two options: Sit & Sulk or Get up & Be Happy, I think I have resorted to the latter which at the least brings a smile onto my face as compared to sitting and bugging up yourself. 

My post's title is 'Happ-Y-Ness', a capital Y in middle which I intend to stress on. Why is it so necessary to be happy and content with yourself and the world around you? Why should we always smile? Why should we always be positive? 

Happiness has its own versions and different definitions for each one of us. For me, happiness is in the small little and everyday things that we do for ourselves and one another. Helping someone, being concerned and as a well wisher, wishing good for everyone, living life on your minute terms and conditions, doing things that make you and people around smile, giving your time to someone who needs you and spending time with yourself is something which brings happiness to me. It might sound cliched or poetic, but material gifts are something which brings happiness for the time-being and for a span of time which is not bad, but saying a few words, expressing love and concern to someone is something they remember and keep for a lifetime.  

The phrase 'Smile - It costs nothing' stands absolutely and perfectly epic which is something that I have started believing in. When in doubt and under pressure, times when you feel you are crashing down and nothing can bring you up, is when all you need to do is Smile. Even if it doesn't solve your problem, it gives you a subconscious strength to face the facts. This is one of the smallest and best trick to a happier way of living life which I have personally learnt from a close Friend (no names *winkie*).  

Time is something which is ticking along and is still constant. Moving on and growing bigger and better is what we all aspire to do, but being content with what we have, accepting facts and working hard to be a better person is what 'Happy' people do. 

Any age, any gender and any race - when they smile, they look Beautiful ! Keep Smiling :)
