Being Happy!!

Decided to blog today rather after a long time was thinking about what should i blog has i wasn't able to zero in on a particular topic to write about the very thought of it made me come to a conclusion about a thing which i have been pondering about quite a lot these days it is something which we all has individuals in different walks of life look forward to no matter what circumstances and situations we are going through has a human being our whole system has been programmed to look out for this all the time in various ways and forms in every single second of our existence. It is all about the most over used term "Happiness" and associated siblings forms of it like Happy,Joyful..etc.

Have constantly heard this word being used in one context or other from every third person from the time i started stepping into the real world..Has a kid have listened to parents and teachers saying it quite often to make me study the usual methodology of conning you..;)I am sure all of us would have heard it goes like this if you study well now you will be happy through out your entire life..;)At that point of time i had a thought studying well was only the prescribed drug to make one happy..;)Then has time went by realized that the whole idea was a big joke..;)

On a serious thought wondering about from where and when the idea of being happy and happiness props up is indeed a very difficult thing to close in has we all would have different thoughts on the same i am just going by the things which makes sense to me..Have often listened and read from people saying "Happiness is all about being content with what you have rather than looking out" honestly it does not make any sense to me..If we stop looking for different things in life and being content with whatever we have won't we become like nothing than mere robots..;) Has Al pacino Says in Scent of a Woman, "The Day we stop looking charlie is the day we die" Going by that context in my view being happy is not derived from the materialistic value of a person or a recognition of one in the society on being content with what he/she have if that is the case then our whole very existence would be defined by a reason.

To me its all about looking beyond the obvious and deriving it out of small things in and out of our daily life for instance a call/chat with a close friend,Helping someone in need,Reading a wonderful book,Watching the fall colors on the maple leaves and admiring it for hours,Walking with the cold wind blowing across my face and hair,Seeing picture of my niece which leaves a chuckle on my face, Having eye contact with a beautiful girl while walking across the street..;)These are the just examples of so many instances which we all might come across in a day to today life..Many a times we fail to observe these including me..Then many times we also fail to realize how much smaller things like these made us feel being happy..To me life and deriving happiness out of it is all about pushing oneself across the boundaries and testing oneself in every way in the process looking out for smaller things along the way.

It won't be sunshine everyday where a day starts and ends with beautiful moments..Many a times it would be rainy,stormy or gloomy..Then these small things would help us out to be sane and happy then so called list of things which is needed for happiness..but then it should be noticed !!
