Living Happy…..
How easy or difficult is “being happy”???? My close friend says every one of us is good in some way but my question is if all of us are good in some way then why is this “good’” not enough???. I am back from a short trip and this for me was more than just “good enough” I see it that way or I really mean it… here, this time I really mean it. This trip was not just weekend getaway but whole circle of reincarnation of happiness for me. It did bring me alive. All my loved ones at one place!!! What more you can ask for. You don’t have the trouble not reaching out them, waiting for them, looking for their help. All of them were right there with me….
“Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment; Mastering others requires force; Mastering the self needs strength” Some great man said this. And I was thrilled to know more about me. Self confidence, self satisfaction, self realization and understanding the limit of contempt is something I was hunting for. I am happy!!! I say this to myself I was wondering if I force this on to me and others around me. Do I seek love or demand love? There are times when I feel I stifle my loved ones with attention I provide and also how I take. This is disturbing and twinges your own peace. Peace within is something not so complex to attain is what I discovered. And how do we get there is something I cannot put in words. I believed in me!!!! I knew I wanted this trip and trip with people I chose that these only can be part of and this happened and it will.
Every day during this vacation I woke up with a smile knowing everyone I want is around. How can I not be happy after this???
Little things taught me a lot and some corrected my wrongs. “Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious.” (Carl Gustav: Swiss psychiatrist, Psychologist and Founder of the Analytic Psychology,1875-1961).
I love every single occurrence in my life. Because this has always made me a wise person. “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” (Buddha).
In short how have I achieved this I have right set of people and people is you all…… Every stage of my life today and tomorrow people who have inspired me, loved me unconditionally is you and you….
As Ram says “I am the best” I am best because you made me one….
As Varun says “all are good in some way” but you are perfect amongst all. I became, modeled myself one as you needed me this way…
As Jay says “Ram you are the luckiest, I need her”. Jay, I love myself too for this because you always adored me for this I never wanted to let go of this side of me.
As Pal says “akka I love”. I linger to hear that so I behave “well”!!!!
As Sats says “Megs I knew this was your idea”. I feel good that you know me so well and so right.
The point I am making here is I am more than grateful to you all to be what I am I wouldn’t be without you all not loving me “enough”. We need to love and this keeps us going. The love the bond is what is keeping us strong and “only” this will give us “peace” within….
Anybody “else” coming in our lives and people leaving our lives who has disturbed our peace are people I have ignored from inside. Because my “strength” lies in some and I only need them.
Lastly,
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.(Buddha)
Love you all, and thanks for the enlightened trip!!!!!
Hey Megz,I see that you have started your year with a good note! or should i say - with a good "blog" ;) ?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, my answer to your question "My close friend says every one of us is good in some way but my question is if all of us are good in some way then why is this “good’” not enough???" is - Every one have both good and bad in them (it's impossible to expect someone to be just good or just bad). what matters is what one is good at and what one is bad at! and that comes naturally. but the best part of nature is, it lets you chose and change yourself to - What you should be good at and what you should be bad at. just bcoz someone is bad at me doesn't really mean that he/she is a bad person. and just coz I feel someone is good doesn't mean that he/she is "good" to all! - judging a person as good or bad is based on situation and situation changes!
Happiness is an experience. So is sadness. I personally feel, one should strive to strike a balance between the two and eventually to overcome both! (I know its easier said than done though :P)
Its good to hear that you had a really good time with your best pals (i'm lucky to be their friend too!)
Im happy that you love every occurrence in your life coz life is the best teacher and it takes "special classes" to everyone of us! but not everyone learns from it and change themselves. but you did :)
It's a good blog again, and keep it coming :D
Take care and wish you n ur family a very happy and healthy new year!
Hey meghs, this is simply beautiful:-) it completely shows uve poured ur heart out..n meghs, that itself is an art, to 1st know what is it that u feel, n 2nd hav de strength to know wat u feel, accept it openly:-) what is good or bad can never be said, as it is always an individuals perception..the problem lies in really identifying what each one chooses n follows as right n wrong, or gud and bad , or happy n sad. Its really good to have people like you discussing about this, thus surely helping others identify and realize the same:-) gr8 that u hav found it:-) seriously, very well written:-)
