Happiness is an attitude, stop comparing and focus, be happy and live your life.

The common thing which I hear from people is that the present is not good, I don't deserve this, I should be somewhere else, etc. But, if you analyze your life, you will find that only the attitude is not changing otherwise every single part of your life is constantly changing. The problems and issues you are facing in the present were not there in the past, and may not be there in the future also. Same way, the problems with which you were struggling with in past are no more now, they got solved or dissolved with time. Life issues/problems have different ranges, some are short span and get solved/resolved within months or maybe a year, but some take longer time. But every single of them gets out of your life ultimately. The thing which sustains with you is patience and your precious life.

The events happening in one's life is predestined, it never is/was what one expects from god, but it is always what God wants and is in good favor of person in the long run. We do feel the injustice by god many times, but I am confident that God can never be wrong. He is perfect and everything else is imperfect. Sometimes our miseries arise when we compare one thing with others, one situation with others, one individual with others. This comparison is the biggest blunder of our life. When a researcher does an experiment of comparative analysis, it is always a complete comparison, everything except the parameter in question is the same. Similarly, when you compare two situations/individuals you always consider only one parameter where you feel low then him/her. This comparison never took account of other factors that are different between them and thus responsible for the situation/scenario. In short, it is useless to compare in the first place. Every individual is different, God made them so, they are not the same, they have their shares of happiness and sorrows, and they live their predestined life. There is no point comparing, it will mislead your thoughts and conclusions.

As an individual, you will live your life individually and obviously different from others. Your actions and decisions mold your life and affect those who are related to you. One should always check that his actions/deeds are wise/responsible and mature rather than selfish/cunning/self-centered.

Stop comparing and focus on your life. Happiness is an attitude, you can't achieve it by chasing unrealistic things. Do observe and note what makes you happy: it can be as small as watching movies/reading books/listen to music and can be as big as doing charity work/getting promoted/big house/car/bank balance. But do try to know them. There are individuals who are more inclined to professional life and there are others who love personal space and life. Keep a track of your happiness/sorrows and know more of yourself, so that one day you are pretty clear as to what is there for you and what is not meant for you.

Be happy and live life.

Challenge yourself, enhance your learning, gain wisdom

One of the good point about Gandhi Ji was that his mind was restless. He always tried something new, he never was contented with his present. He never thought once in his life that he is settled, at peace and satisfied. I think this is one of the many reasons that he was a great person. He never tried to hide his mistakes/faults. He denied primary education to his children, his elder son was very unhappy with him for this. Unfortunately, this was also one of his experiment with life. But many of his other experiments like cleanliness, ahinsa were globally appreciated and accepted. So, don't stop yourself from experimenting, just because of the fear of failing or non-acceptance by society. I agree there is risk, but risk is there in anything and everything in life, the only difference is our faith in the outcome. We are generally happy in taking those calculative risk, where the results are more or less favorable. Challenging yourself is the best thing a person can do all his life...

An Unknown Face

"Oh... Definitely, I have seen him somewhere" - she said. But her memory is not helping. In the last few days, she has spotted him a few times. The first remembrance was when she was having the morning tea in her balcony, and he was walking by. She noticed it because she felt his gaze fixed at her for a moment. He was not staring but gave a quick side glance at her, and that penetrated her mind and etched a memory. Then, she saw him in the market, from a distance but did experience similar feelings. Now, it has occurred a few times, and her mind is restless with the thought that anytime and anywhere, he is watching her and she has not spotted him. It's a terrorizing and disturbing thought. "Why am I thinking this way, and why that guy?" She is a rational and logical person. There are hundreds of people one meet, some frequently, some occasionally and few rarely. None have left this kind of impression. "Who is this guy? What's the r...

Declutter your current lifestyle, keep bare minimum and gain ultimate peace

Technology has taken deep roots in our daily life. It would not be false if I say, it has taken over us. Be it your mobile, computer, TV, wifi, bikes, cars, or similar materialistic things. Your holidays are no more peaceful holidays, they are constant exchange of text, pics, news, and information. The mind never is at peace when awake. It is struggling to keep with huge amount of information, most of that it cant process or do not require at the first place. One should ask a simple question, do I really need this much information or resources to live a peaceful life. Is it not a peer pressure to keep up the things, most of which you don't require. The mobile phone with most of us today are powerful gadgets with huge capacity to do many things. They are even better than most of the efficient people on earth today. A phone is not merely a phone, but much more than that, it's your camera, social connection, news point, and professional need. Imagine the number of photos clicked...
