Are you the Creator ?

Are you happy in life ?
You are single, living in a rented house alone or on share basis with a friend.
You eat out everyday because you are not with family and there are no good cooks available.
You look great dressed up in branded jeans and T-shirt, you take pride in your latest handset. You burn the road on your 150CC mobike.
But are you happy in life ?

Recent studies have shown that happiness cannot be related to money, wealth or a high life.
Will you not totally agree with these findings ?
I certainly will NOT.
A homeless wanderer cannot be happier than you. A person who struggles daily to catch last 10'O clock bus cannot be happier soul.

Taking these axioms into account one can come to a conclusion that basic amenities, money and a decent standard of life does make a difference in how happy people perceive themselves. But this relationship of happiness with wealth is not linear. It also not possible for me or anyone to form a graph that can show existence of a definite relationship.

The cost of happiness is not much though.
The most conspicuous sign of happiness is a warm smile and a hearty laugh.
Both are possibly the easiest things to induce, not just in others but also in yourself.

Aren't you creating happiness in the person you are making smile.
Indeed you are, and you are creating happiness from nothingness.

So next time you feel depressed, remember you have many reasons to smile and more to make others.
You create happiness, you are the creator.

Understand YOUR Life

Life, we all live it, we relish its rich experiences when we are happy, we moan and cry that it is unfair when we are down, yet almost everyone of us fail to understand it.
Many people[P] will now agree to disagree with me. Their complaint ? Not all can attain enlightenment, not all can become saints.
I will definitely agree with [P]. It is certainly not possible for each one of us to master the intricacies of life.
I believe though each one of us can attempt to contemplate on certain aspects of life and come to understand it to an extent that would make it even better.

How one does it is totally on him/her. Life is full of puzzles, jumbles and paradoxes.
For many they are problems, for lucky few they are just challenges.
It is like solving a mathematical problem, the solution is unique, the approach may be multiple.

We look at celebrities, rich and famous with great awe.
It makes some to look down at themselves. To others it inspires to achieve that same status.
But before one tries treading that path, one MUST ask this question to oneself "Do I really aspire that". If the aswer is "YES" then he must head to tread that path.
However most of us will find answer to this question in negative.

We must first understand ourselves to understand our aspirations, our requirements, our goals and the path we should take.
Life will then become much pleasant, or to those who are still skeptical, it will become easier to endure.

Its our life, its our decision. After all, life is how we live it.
