Enjoy the Small Things
Today life is a continuous struggle for the pursuit of happiness. No one could grant you the gift of happiness. Only you are responsible for your happiness. You have to find the nugget of joy in this harsh world, filled with grief and misery. And once you find it you have to protect and nurture it within you, until it becomes so strong that the external circumstances do not affect your inner peace and happiness.
Every man has his own set of problems in this world, but if he has the courage to deal with all those problems with a smile on his lips and joy in his heart, then his life becomes beautiful.
In today’s world achieving happiness is like picking a fragile flower from among the thorns of reality. On one hand the modern amenities have made our lives easy and reduced the physical labor to a great extent, but on the other hand we are becoming so busy that we no longer savor the small joys of our lives. We are becoming so entrapped in this rat race to earn more money that we no longer care about the ordinary miracles happening all around us.
Trapped in the hassles of everyday life, job and family, a man suffers from many mental anxieties. His mind spirals down the path of an illusion that he is surrounded by grief and problems and that there no happiness in his life. But stand still for a moment and just think, in spite of all the tensions in life, small moments of happiness could be found every day. A smile from a stranger or any random act of kindness could fill our heats with joy. All we have to do is acknowledge and savor these beautiful moments.
If you consciously look for happiness, you'll find yourself appreciating the small things that could bring great joy. Your perspective will change completely and instead of brooding over thorns, you’ll enjoy the sweet smelling flower. Life is beautiful and its beauty is spread all around us, yet we have developed a habit to think that we are always incomplete and we feel deprived.
We are trapped in a self-created prison of loneliness and emptiness. Life is filled with happiness and sadness in equal amount but a person is less happy during his good times and becomes overwhelmingly sad during hard times. It’s all about your mental perspective. Once you change your outlook on life, everything around you will change. This whole game is just about this realization.
If you get a surprise day-off from work, go out with your family and celebrate the closeness and happiness together. Help a person in need and you will find true happiness. Feel the beauty of flowers, trees and leaves, feel the beauty of the moon on a clear night. You will find treasures of joy in such small things.
