Just like that.....

I used to think that when I have a nice car and a lot of money I would be happier. Though when I meet hundreds of people with all of it, there isn’t an ounce of felicity in it. Yet the main factor of being happy remains to be missing. 

The gist of it is simple; that if your bank balance outweighs your sense of purpose or your only sense of purpose is to achieve greater bank balance, finding genuine happiness is going be a huge struggle in life.

No one can teach you to be happy but there can be a few thumb rules, which can guide you towards it on your path…

Appreciate what you have; gaining more won’t make you feel good if you aren't happy with what you have right now. Moreover criticizing anything and everything around doesn’t help you grow.

 

Give more than you receive, be it time, money, gifts, love and laughs. When you give someone your best, the best surely comes to you.

Stop worrying about your future! The future is going to happen; you worry today or not, it will anyway happen to you if its meant to. We are all going to die one day, so just don’t wait for that day to happen, let your tomorrow come to you when it has to.

Love your work... your profession, as it will be a big part of your life and you as a person. If you want something then work hard towards it, cause words don't mean anything if not backed by actions. But make sure you are satisfied on your way there. 

Don't practice escapism just because your reality isn't how you imagined it to be. 
Just be real. 

Live in the moment and not in your cell phone, don't video record everything you see, just experience it while it's happening to relive it as a memory forever.

All of it gets more interesting when you enjoy the journey and not simply look out for destinations where you intend to be comfortable. Rather challenge yourself; comfort is merely where you slow down and get bored. 

Between what is said and not meant and what is meant and not said… all the love is lost!! It is always better to have loved and lost than not loved at all. 

Love generously... why hold back!!

In the process you are bound to encounter people who take you and your affection for granted and toss it away but then hurting is merely part and parcel of it.

Just don't stop loving as all this pain is just teaching you a few lessons, which the school textbooks didn't do.  

Don't worry too much of what others are doing or saying or thinking. They can mind their own business. Become a little more bolder in your attitude... Don't mind if people think your being weird or acting crazy... Logon ka kya hai... Aakhir kuch toh log kahenge hi!! 

Shine from the inside out and not outside in, cause it simply doesn’t work the other way round. 

What's in your heart and head shines brighter than what is on your wrist and neck…

The main punch is just that trying to cope up with life in per se, when it’s is not happening your way is better than being unfavorably judgmental. 

Trust yourself; enjoy every second of your TODAY and most importantly just BREATHE IN and BREATHE OUT!!!

Always do remember that…
The moon can shine brighter only when the sun isn’t bright,

Darkness is nothing but absence of light,

To find what’s right and wrong you got to be strong!!

Kyunki kya hai na "Zindagi humesha badi honi chahiye... lambi nahi!!!" just as Mr. Babumoshaaye said someday. 

Aur haan aaj ka gyaani pravachan pura hua ;)
