Strange But, Hmm... True!!!

Have you ever noticed that there is one thing common about all of our lives. It's the fact that none of us are perfectly happy about it. Each one of us wanted something else from our lives. Someone wanted a little more from his life and is sad because he did not get it. Someone else got a little more than they expected and he ruins the fact that he could've gotten a lot more after all. Whatever be the case, this inexplicable dissatisfaction runs like a common thread through all of us.

It's because life never ceases to change as long as you live. Every second that you live, adds something new to the experience that is called life. Just as you are never contended with your life, similarly your life never stops to change. In other words, if there ever comes a day when you are totally contended in all senses, you would practically stop living that very day. Life is a struggle. Struggling is what you are supposed to do all your life.

In the end it's a matter of choice. Considering the fact that no one has a perfect life, you yourself can either choose to be happy or sad about it. What you choose is totally your decision, but remember that in the end you can't put the blame on anyone else but yourself for the decisions you make in your life.

Do you remember the day when you thought you were the happiest person on the face of the earth. It may have been the day you got your first video game, your first salary, your first car, your first kiss, your first child or your first child's marriage. If you do remember that, then you will also remember how different your happiness was at each of those moments. How each moment was quite different from the other. The only fact that remains unquestionable is that you were still happy at each of those points in your life. That in itself denotes how your life changes as you keep going through it.

Probably there will be a day when you would have nothing left to do. When all that you ever wanted in your life will be at your footsteps. Can you then say that you are the happiest person ever. I guess not. Happiness is an abstraction. You can never see it, touch it or smell it. It can't be created with the wealth of the entire universe. That's what is so special about happiness. That's what makes it truly the costliest gift you can give to your parents, friends, family and the world.

So the next time you catch hold of that pessimist, give him a piece of your mind and ask him to stay happy for no one likes to share anyone's sorrows, but everyone wants a piece of the action if you are happy. Happy Living.
