Pursuit of Happyness

Somebody once told me "Happiness is all around you, you just have to go grab it."

Have you ever asked yourself - what makes you happy?

Hmm... the answers could be friends, family, love, chocolates, good food, appreciation, running, cycling, etc etc.

I keep asking this question to myself. N yesterday, i finally got the answer. The answer was none of the options given above. I always thot it was one of these. But, it wasn't.

What makes me happy is not friends, not family, not love etc... It's my mind. If my mind is in a positive mood, then everything will be good around me. If it negative, then even if thing r going on just fine, I'll perceive them as negative. This is the power of my mind.

Some of u might disagree with this. U may say that if u have one of these then ur mind wud be positive. I'd say if u r positive then u wud have everyone of these. Lets take an example. Suppose u r a very critical person. U keep criticising everything u see n have. Then wud u have friends? No. Wud ur family want to talk to u? Maybe yes, but for not more than 5 mins before they also star getting irritated... Wud u have love? Never, u'll be really lucky if u have. In contrast, if u r a very positive person, then u'll attract everybody towards u. U'll have friends, ur family wud appreciate u, n of course love wud be there...

N frm where does all this positivity come from. It comes from ur own thinking, your own mind.

In the end i'll conclude by saying:

"If happiness is within you, then it is all around you."
