Today, I am starting a new #LoveLife series and first up would like to briefly throw light on an aspect which we all strive for, i.e., happiness! We all want to be happy. However, the concept of happiness with time and over the years, I have realized truly is much more deeper than just momentary satisfactions which are also important but rather temporary.
Essentially, happiness should not be equated with arrogance or ignorance. Many people despite several on-going challenges choose to still face it all with a smile. Hence, if they are choosing to be happy- it does not mean (at least in most cases) that they are cutting-off from the realities of every day life. In my opinion, it truly means that they value life and are doing all that it takes to work towards better times not ignoring TODAY.
It is important to value our today, make the most of today! Without being too philosophical- I feel if we cannot fully savour today, tomorrow we may have many more material possessions that we aspired for- but we may still not be able to be happy. Guessing why? Maybe because aspirations and expectations have further gone a notch higher.
Lastly, love your life and respect each one that comes in the orbit of your life. Set your own goals and learn from others. We truly gain nothing comparing ourselves with others as mostly it has more negative repercussions than not. And something that I have been telling a lot of my friends-like they say do not judge a book by its cover- do not judge a person by what you see for each one is fighting their own battle deep within each day and each moment. If someone is happy- be happy for them, sometimes it is this mini gesture that can give you a reason to be happy on one of your dull days!
Best,
