Redefining happiness

 --Ayushi Mal

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

We all are unique being undergoing different journey. We may find resemblance with someone story but that would certainly not mean that we are going to have the same narrative.

We are being habituated of seeing the highlights in reel as well as in real life. We get so much engrossed in looking at the brighter side that we fail to acknowledge the darker side too. We are humans capable of doing many things once we get determined enough. And that determination is required to acquire anything in physical realm but what about the inner peace and contentment.

The people we are following in social media makes us believe life is could be so fascinating just by acquiring any material possession or travelling to some distant place. And certainly there is no harm in it, until we perceive it in a wrong way. Life can be comfortable if we accumulate certain things and build memories by moving different places. But let me tell you, that is their level of having fun not yours. Never let any other being define that for you. Life is what we make it by defining it in our own terms. What happiness is for you may be not for others.

Someone feels relaxed when they party hard with their friends and some may find comfort in lounging on the couch with a book. Everyone is unique and different so does their definition of everything. Never let any outside force dictate it for you. Create your own definition and live purposefully. Life is all about unlearning the stuffs which holds us back and relearning the one which could help us in moving forward.  

Always listen to your soul, what meaning it has hold. It might seem dull and boring for others, but if your soul urges, then go for it without having a second thought. Repaint your life with your own color and cherish the blessings which is around you.
