Happiness-An Uniterative Facet Of Life

How often do we come across situations where we try to wear an artificial smile but deep down find no cord to connect with it. We feel like sulking, crying or being angry but also fail in bringing out these natural emotions. But,when our soul is happy, we are happy. Everything around us seems to be exciting and even the daily mundane activities in life hold some significance. Well, I sometimes come across situations where there is no apparent reason for me to be unhappy but, I still don't want to be happy. Is happiness related to an external factor or some abstract driving force in nature? Happiness, just like medicines, have to be injected to provide tranquility to the soul. Once the soul gulps down the doze of happiness, life seems amazing, even if, for a brief period of time. Sometimes, I feel it takes some effort on my part to be happy but, why not? Life is really short and since it it is mostly plagued by rough waters,why not remain afloat for one more day, by just being happy. The  one possible method of filling the void created by no feelings could be filled in by activities which keep us busy. This way we at least prevent our mind from turning into a devil's workshop. My dad keeps saying that if I try to be happy the world will be happy and vice-verse. I guess, somewhere his words have a lot of meaning. But, I know, somewhere in the corner of my mind that if I keep waiting for a positive incident to bring happiness in my life, I'll soon be doomed!  Life is a weird combination of positive and negative incidents and it is up to us to remain happy all through. Happiness definitely doesn't iterate but who says it can't persist!

A Soulful Sojourn

Many a times I feel there is some pent up nervous energy waiting to escape my body and that never actually leaves but instead brings some more frustration.In this situation my mind actually loses sync with my body and I really fail to comprehend what really needs to be done.I happened to be faced with a similar situation today and, without batting an eyelid I chose music to make some effort to wave a white flag at my restless soul.I correctly recall organizing my playlist with a set of melodious songs and started listening to a song by focusing on the background score and the other instruments and within a few minutes felt absolutely peaceful.You could call it  a miracle of some sort because I suddenly started feeling happy and my mind started churning positive thoughts.The happiness which enshrouded me was something I couldn't describe but it surely did sweep me off my feet.It could be the combination of the words,beats and the notes which doubled up to be the perfect recipe for happiness and folks,that is what is our aim in life,isn't it?Muisc does wonders when you are completely involved in it and make sure you listen to music in a peaceful envoirnment.There is no definition for good music except,listen to any piece of music from any domain which you like or you can easily connect with.So folks,all you have to do is shut your eyes tight,get into the vehicle called 'Music' and be transported to the world of happiness.

Doing something by doing nothing

Have you ever imagined what life would be like if we just slowed down for a day and took a break.Well,don't ring bells in your mind about the loss of one day from your short life time because,even God up there wants you to apply breaks on your lackluster life.People may actually worship  their work but that doesn't mean they shouldn't stop and check out whether they are on the right track.If you feel that some demons will come around and plague your idle mind,stop cribbing and start 'ideating'.The idea behind taking a break is to let your brain contact your soul.In simle terms,you'll get to know yourself better.Try to find your passions and hobbies so that your mind will never be idled when you next take a break.The main reason behind this is to break the monotony you subject yourself to.Seriously folks,I have tried it and that is  where I found my passion for gardening and you could find your's too.Life is an interesting book and don't buzz through it to just read the words-'The End'
