Until when?!
I've often heard people saying, I'd be happy once i achieve my targets. With one done task, we force ourselves unknowingly to the next one. It's like a video game, even before the happiness of clearing a level is relished, the next one begins.
Are we really aware; we have enslaved ourselves, into the pursuit of finding happiness only at the next level?
The next job.
The next house.
The next car.
We believe happiness will arrive once we achieve our goals. And eventually, we keep setting goals to achieve happiness. And when goals are not achieved, so is happiness not!
We have intricately laid the bearing on our achievements, of our very happiness.
How right is it?
When did we become so asthenic and torpid about the idea of happiness?
Running in the rat race..
Facing the odds..
Coming to term with the failures..
Bearing the wearisome life..
If you ever feel like, where did all the happiness vanish;
Just lay back and give yourself a moment..
The good sleep you had.
Waking up to the face of your loved one.
Brewing and sipping that perfect beverage.
That long drive.
The music that stirs your soul.
Book that left you longing for more.
The little kid you made faces at.
The hand you held with love.
Lap that you slid in for comfort.
The beer and the philosophical talk.
Every little thing that ever made you smile is, happiness!!
We often forget enjoying the little things in life, longing for the big ones. Well, we can walk a mile, but can't jump for a mile. Learn to be patient with yourself and your life. The flash light brings in more light, but we don't have it in our houses all the time. We need constant moderate light for a healthy being. Same ways, don't keep expecting yourself to be on the top of everything, all the time. A little moderation is required. Rather I'd say, moderations interspersed with little bouts of excitement, that's what a balanced life is.
Until when, will you keep running for the destination called happiness?
Stop..
