I
love this quote most: "Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase
it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." This is absolutely
true. I have experienced this many times, this quote is not only valid for happiness , this
quotes valid for dream and many others issues too , so better don’t run after
something , think smart and start working.
True
realization of life - Just 3 months before, I was different , different in the
sense I always complaining about My failure life and worrying about everything
, this is not my inborn personality but I become like this due to failure after
failure . one day after attend happiness course- I came to realize that , I was in danger of wasting my life in worrying
and thinking about something which I can’t change , I can modify my life style
but I can’t change my past and I can’t get those things which I failed to get
in my past even in present I can’t get everything what I want.
Now
one option before me either I should make myself happy or miserable, one
question I repeatedly I ask myself - “What do I want from life?” I asked
myself. “Well…I want to be happy. That’s the only thing I need in my life” I
had many reasons to be happy: I have good family background , educational
background , I have friends; I have good health condition too , I have everything
still what actually brothers me then ?
Well,
now onwards I have decided I’ll never ever cry no matter whatever situation will
come. I’ll make myself happier and along the way I learned a lot about how to
be happier.
Here are those lessons.
Accept the situation and people as
they are
This
quote is so powerful, which really changed myself so much. I am talking about
myself whenever I look back I found myself a different person who can’t adjust
with any situation. I still remember when I entered into my first hostel life
after 10th board , I felt so happy because I love freedom and I feel I can do
anything , no worry for routine kind of life what I usually follow in my home .
but gradually I gotta know , the world is little bit complicated then slowly
slowly I understand the world. In my engineering career - I really understand the
world and my position as per the situation . I was a bad decision maker and
always take decisions from my heart than my mind for which I became alone in the
end and unnecessarily invite misery for some people who don’t even come to meet
me when I was leaving my college. That day I have decided – I have to change. Then
after coming my MBA school (Sri sri university) here I have learnt so many good
life lessons and one of my favorite is ACCEPT PEOPLE AND SITUATION AS THEY ARE , this is 100% works , if you accept the people as they are then nothing will
hurt you and you become like emotionless , may people think you are very sad
inside but still you are strong as you already accept them as they are , but
major problem will arise when it’s come to take a major decisions like – YOUR LIFE
PARTNER , you shouldn’t compromise here , better be wise whom you are going to chose for your entire life, be sure !
that person is good enough not take you as a material only , but it
doesn’t mean after your marriage also you’ll say I can’t compromise , you have to
otherwise you’ll ruin 2 lives but when you have time , people and you can chose better so why
you don’t do that then ? so now I am going to live my rest of my life as Accept
the people and situation as they are , best way to avoid misery as people come
and people go , good or bad situation comes and goes , nothing is permanent
so why you are spoiling your rest of life for temporary situation and people , what mistake i did in my past when I was in engineering , I hope I’ll not repeat
the same mistake again. If I’d do happiness course before my engineering then
my life would go in smother way .
Don’t be the football of others opinion
Never listen others – take praising comments as achievements and negative comments as lessons but don’t take it by heart or ask yourself , what they are saying is it 100% correct or true. Listen your heart first before doubt yourself because of others comment.
This
may be easier said than done, but avoid tying yourself to family, business
partners, investors, or employees who make you unhappy. It's
obviously harder to take the same approach with family members, but there's no
reason to put up with people saying or doing things that are unkind. "If
people say mean things to me, I let them know if they talk to me like that I'm
going to walk away or hang up the phone". Better to avoid than react in
any matter.
The
busier you are, the less time you have to think, especially, about something or
someone who left you with negative feelings. Being busy is the best way to keep
negative thoughts from provoking you repeatedly.
Buy some happiness.
Our
basic psychological needs include feeling loved, secure, and good at what we
do. You also want to have a sense of control. Neither Money nor success
automatically fill these requirements, but it sure can help some extend. Having
loving friends, a loving partner or a loving family could dramatically affect
your happiness levels. When surrounded by love your big problems tend to be
smaller and your life becomes happier. Social relationships in general could be
used as a healthy escapement method from the storms of life, however don’t just escape without taking actions to solve your problems. Dampen your bad feelings
by these beautiful relations and at the same time work towards solving your
real problems. The name of
happiness is Love – we all need love and we bonded with the chain of Love.
There’s
always a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope is something you can never afford
to lose. With hope you always have a path towards happiness. Hope reminds you
that everything will be ok. With hope, you know that whatever looks terrible is
only temporary and that soon enough, things will be just fine.
Happiness
is something we must do on purpose. In the midst of struggles or difficulties,
we must choose to be happy. Happiness does not come from the acquisition of
money or things; happiness begins from within each of us. Being happy within
ourselves simply means showing mercy to ourselves, forgiving ourselves,
befriending ourselves, accepting ourselves, and loving ourselves. It’s a
lifelong journey that requires regular self-examination and an ongoing process
of making peace with ourselves. It means discovering what makes us unhappy and
choosing to live in peace. It means treating ourselves with compassion and
kindness. It makes us to begin to enjoy life more and more and celebrate it as
adventure in peace. It helps us to live life to the fullest, and help make the
world a better place for us and others.
However,
being happy within ourselves may be one of the most difficult challenges we
will ever face. For some, this challenge may prove too difficult to handle, and
as a result, they allow it to rule them. Many prefer to endure the challenges,
while others love to overcome them.
