Happiness is a state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. Everyone seeks happiness but, most of us define happiness based on some conditions. The big question is how to achieve happiness? What can we do to feel the happiness we crave for? I feel happiness is a state of mind that can be achieved by spreading joy and being in the present moment.
A very important aspect of happiness is, if we see people around us happy and some action of ours is the cause of their happiness, we will feel joyous. As an example, if we helped our mom with some work like taking her to market to buy grocery or helped her in household work, In that case she will be happy because we helped her with her work and in return we will experience contentment knowing we were the reason for her smile. Hence helping someone may it be at home, school, workplace, while traveling, anywhere we find someone in need of our help; the proactive action of ours will make us glad that we did something worthy for someone.
Being in the present is very important to feel the bliss. This is apparent from the fact that past and future always make us worried. If we think about the past we end up living the past again and if we think about the future we get perturbed by endless possibilities of future. So live in the present moment and enjoy every moment knowing that the present moment cannot be repeated like the repeat telecast of some show.
Helpful gestures by us and being in the present moment can fill us with immense pleasure so that we can stay happy forever.
Stay happy, keep smiling. :-)
