Happiness lies in little things

HAPPINESS LIES IN LITTLE THINGS

It is rightly said by Ralph Marston that Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can be only come from you.

Happines can be defined as a state of mind and the positive feeling when things are going great. But every person defines happiness as per their own convenience. For some, happiness is perfect bliss, but for other happiness is all about  great health and money. For some, happiness is that moment when you achieved your goal,  reunions with friends or family, watching good movies, or buying a first car or anything. Keeping all this in consideration and clubbed all different versions into one, we can say that definition of happiness varies from person to person and it depends on the person to person.

If we look it at bigger picture, happiness can be equated with 'pleasure' and 'contentment'. At present we are living in a fast-paced technology world where people scattered all around the globe busy with their own commitment and having no time for ourselves, for our family and in doing so, they often missed out to celebrate little things and various emotions of life. In such scenario, we let our happiness to take backseat because we forget  to enjoy the little things in life which are the biggest things and definitely the best things.

It is apparent that people are chasing for materialistic pleasure and enjoyment to get some kind of feeling of self-satisfication and get a taste of self relief, but what they often forget is that happiness is the only such emotion that cannot be provided by any technology and even cannot be purchased by money. 

It is necessary to understand that happiness is not a fruit of any big tree that can be plucked by peltering stone at it nor it is product that could be bought from any market at certain price. The only mantra to achieve happinesses in life is to realise the importance of little things and understand that real happiness lies in little things.

A mother and son relationship is the best description for above statement. A mother sacrifices her entire life in bringing up her child, she can literally do anything to bring a smile on her child's face. That smile gives her inner happiness that can't be expressed and measured, it can be only felt as it is an intangible. 

To achieve happiness in life, we must have to first understand the value and importance of little things, should try to capture and embrace those little things. It can be achieved in many ways, but in order to get real happiness we must follow a certain path. And this path starts from self introspection,  start caring for little moments and should make an effort to capture, embrace and live those little moments. Every path that an individual niche's outs will definitely give certain lessons and experiences which if followed will lead us to the ultimate realization of life and bring a real pleasure in life.

Undoubtedly career, work and life goals are most important aspects of everyone's life. It is quite obvious and human desire to live a better life with ease and comfort. In search of daily bread and butter they have started to compromise lifestyles, ignoring little things, and perhaps disregarding their inner peace. In such cases, happiness takes back seat and anxiety takes front seat. In real sense, any job or work involving adventure, challenge, life experience, and learning scope but it is just a realisation process.And it shouldn't be mixed with emotion. Job is only confined to realisation process whereas happiness is confined to contentment process which is characterised by joy and pleasure. Thus happiness is one such emotions that doesn't requires expression rather than requires feeling for its realisation and start the process of giving importance to little things in life. The recapitulation of entire essay can be described in one liner - "the little things are the biggest things and definitely the best things".
