The inner happiness!
I am going back to Paris, my second home, from Prague…a beautiful European city that was chosen by our group to have one of our regular network meetings….it’s a Wednesday today…a wonderful shiny evening….and I am sitting in my small and cute airbus 320 ..Watching the fluffy white sheet of clouds from my window…and thinking..how beautiful life has been to me since day 1…
At every step of life, I have found an exciting challenge to pursue, best of friends to walk with…support and love from parents…cousins and relatives to spend holidays with….and to add the spice, all the excellent surprises life has so lovingly showered upon me! I feel lucky and content….Its a wonderful feeling to feel the satisfaction….it reminds me something I heard from someone a long ago …Its all about satisfaction! And after all, isn’t happiness a state of mind? You are happy if you THINK you are happy in your mind! Sounds strange but I think it fits perfectly to every life!
But if I remember well….I have been through hardship…a big deal of stress…burdens of society and cultures…the unhappiness…the hatred and that worst feeling of being ignored…so where was the inner joy? The inner happiness? It cant always be that simple..can it? Happiness is not just the state of mind..but a situational phenomenon…you feel happy..when someone smiles at u at wishes you Good morning! When someone compliments your dressing! When you are praised and appreciated….when you are hugged by best of your friends….when someone writes you a line to tell you that u r special….when you receive a surprise gift!
The best thing about life in my opinion is that the real pleasures of life are easy and free! Now that I think about it….I realize how wonderful the process of unfolding life is…during the school time…I was the happiest person on the earth when I fed milk to a kitten …when I stayed awake with my best friends watching movies…when I got good marks in exams...
And today, I travel all over the world…I get to stay in four star hotels, I get to enjoy the beauty of Paris…but still, watching rain out of window gives me more happiness than buying a Gucci perfume…. chatting to friends for hours over a cup of coffee in a corner of a cafe is still better than drinking at Concorde Lafayette.....Life is still about small things and special moments!
The journey is always about good phase and bad phase, happiness and stress, love and hatred…but in the end of the day, Happiness matters! The satisfaction may be its one form where, the other can be having confidence to fight the situation or reminding yourself that ‘you are the best’ and ‘You can do it’ after a bad day at work….
The inner ‘me’ plays a very important role in the controlling outer ‘me’ …Happiness is the state of mind! To switch on our inner controls that holds the ultimate power of happiness! So Let your mind work ...and I am sure it will lead us to believe in the sweet facts of life….!
