what better way to start my blog with,the greatest feeling in the universe happiness.Hapiness holds different meanings to different people.For the poor its little money that can buy them food.For the rich well,it's more money.For some its the love that they find in their beloved's arms for others its the affection they see in their mother's eyes.As for me i am a staunch believer of the saying happiness is like a butterfly the more you chase it the more it will elude you,i know it sounds cliched but its true.Afer watching a lot of movies relating to this and reading a lot of self-help books(yeah i do that!!) i came to realise that happiness is nothing but a state of mind.We are as happy or as sad as we think ourselves to be.people with no money can still try to be happy and thank god for they are alive and can work towards earning money.For god helps those who help themselves.Even people who go on cribbing about the lack of love in their lives and claim that they are lonely can be happy.As a moment spent in solitude and self contemplation gives more happiness than a lifetime spent with bad company.Its all about what goes on in your mind.Numerous thoughts flow through our mind each and every second.Its the quality of these thoughts that determine our state of being.The bookThe Monk who sold his ferrari taught me a lot in this regard(Its a great book and i strongly reccomend it to those who have not read it)Mr.Robin Sharma rightly says that enlightenment comes through the consistent cultivation of your mind,body and soul and as written in the book not just happiness but everything that we feel and do has a direct connection with our mind.Even the feeling of exhaustion can be linked to our mind.We are as exhausted or as energetic as we think.We can choose to be the masters or slaves to our mind.The choice is in our hands so lets resolve to master our own minds and make every moment of our life joyful and worth living.
