Happiness: The More You Spread The More It Grows Within You

Though a lot of people may not realize but happiness is the ultimate goal of life. Starting from our simple daily chores to the important assignments, every single thing we do  narrows down to achieving contentment which is yet again a by-product of happiness.

Happiness starts from Within

I read a quote on happiness which appealed me a lot. The quote said “Happiness is a state of mind.” The secret of true happiness lies in your inner self and no one can cease it without your consent.

It is like the keys of your house which you should never hand over to someone. Giving the password to your happiness is like handing over your life’s remote control to someone and then cribbing about being used exploited and emotionally drained.

Sometimes unplugging yourself from negativity can be a simple way to attain happiness. Being “Demotional”  is the key. Demotional is the new word coined for the free spirited people. It is a cocktail of being emotional yet detached. It is okay to be sad about a few things but clinging on and finding happiness in the same place where you lost is insanity.

Happiness is not a tough nut to crack. One golden rule about happiness is that it starts from within and the trick is that you cannot make others happy until and unless you are happy with your own self.

It might sound cliché but happiness is multiplied when we share it. Spreading happiness is like a magic or like practising an “art”. Studies show that our mind mostly picks up the negativity unless trained. It is easier for people to demoralize you, stoop you down or make your self-esteem low but it takes courage and confidence to lift somebody’s spirits.

Happiness is found in the ‘Joy of Giving’. Whenever you seek to deliver happiness to the people who need it more than you, these acts of kindness adds to blissfulness in your life too. It is a universal principle which brings back to you what you radiate around you.

All  the great humanitarian leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Gautam Buddha, Swami Vivekananda,Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and so on have understood this fundamental law of nature and have practised it to bring a radical wave of kindness and humanity in the world.

But you can spread joy around you only when you are happy with your life. A depressed and withered soul can never make anyone happy. So let us  now focus on 3 simple hacks which can forever add joy and make you happy. These are a few things which everyone should follow to have a positive day as well as a positive life.

1. Happiness lies in thankfulness

Happiness lies in expressing gratitude or being thankful about something. God has bestowed us with his best blessings but we fail to acknowledge that. Thanking him daily can aggravate our happiness levels.

2. Say goodbye to judgements

Having judgements about yourself or others both can be injurious to you if you want to be happy. So have a positive thought process which will help you in keeping calm and happy.

3. Empathy is need of the time

People are so engrossed in their selfish pursuits that they don’t see or notice others. The more you become sensitive towards others, the more contentment you will carry in your heart.

Don’t over stress about happiness. It is something which everyone is blessed with.You only need the willingness to accept and protect it.

It is rightly said by Henry David Thoreau:

“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”
