The very word 'Happiness' is an abstract so to understand happiness we have to discuss more into details. And above all we have to keep discovering ourselves every single moment of our life.
I will come with next blogs related to ‘How to create your happiness’ but today I would like to discuss about the importance of making yourself happy.
Why I need to be happy? Can anyone be happy always? What are the outcomes or benefits of being happy at large? Can others be happy from my activities? Can I make others happy by my own efforts only? Why I need to make others happy? There are huge lot of questions coming into our mind. Lets discuss the answers of these questions.
Why I need to be happy????
It is very important to have a feeling of satisfaction in your heart. No matter what you do. It may be cooking a dish, painting, stitching, singing or reading a book. The summation of all activities you do must bring within you a feeling of satisfaction. Even if you do not get a monetary reward, or appreciation from anyone, you should do something which you had been dreaming of for along time. Don't say that ‘ No’ to your soul and heart. If I am happy, then only I can radiate my happiness to my surroundings. If I am sad then I will radiate sadness to my surroundings.
How do I understand that I am happy????
When you do something which you never got a chance to do before. After doing that activity, you suddenly feel so very satisfied that you continue doing so. Its just that feeling of satisfaction which we have been longing for. Some of us feel satisfied only when we earn some money. Even when we have sufficient money we long for more money. Earning money is not bad. But gaining satisfaction only from earning cannot be achieved always. When we a plant a tree and find beautiful flowers or fruits coming out of it. Don't we feel satisfied? when we see a baby smiling, don't we feel joyful? When we listen to a good music , don't we feel soothing? These are the little things that brings moments of joy to our lives. And we need to discover them by ourselves.
Can anyone be happy always?????
Its not impossible, though. Its the order that you give to your brain that brings feelings to you. If I am enjoying my work and creating happy moments always around me then its something which either I am born with or I have achieved the power, myself. Not everyone of us can be happy always , right? Then why is it that some people are always satisfied with their lives. They don't find anything to complain. And life seems to be always good for them. This is because they are thankful for everything in their life. And they always succeed to tell their mind and heart that ‘ALL IS WELL’. For attaining that state of mind we actually need to work a. We need to discover 'ourselves' first.
What are the outcomes or benefits of being happy at large????
Just when u see a baby smile, why do you smile? Is something which is transferred to you instantly. When their is a dance party , why do you dance? May be you have no idea of dancing. Yet you dance. That is because, that is transferred to you. you pick up the pulse of the crowd and start dancing yourself and you find satisfaction from that. That's the power of you being happy. When you are happy, you never understand when you radiate that happiness to the people around you. May be a person was very sad before meeting you. but he became very happy after talking to you. Why does this happen? This is because we transfer our satisfaction , our joy to the ones coming around us. That is the reason we need to socialize. We never know what amount of joy is hidden in each of us. So we need to meet people and also discover ourselves, at the first place.
Can others be happy from my activities????
Of course they can. If I cook a very tasty recipe. Will my family members not be happy? If I grow a beautiful flower and fruits in my garden, will I not make others and myself happy? If I do an embroidery on a cloth and it looks beautiful, will people not appreciate me? If I sing a beautiful song, wont the people around me feel soothing and satisfied and compliment me? There are numerous ways to make myself and others happy. We need to discover them.
Can I make others happy by my own efforts only????
Yes, clapping your hands require both of your hands coming together. That's true. But the point is , who doesn't want to be happy in this world of sadness. Everybody wants to relax and take a break from all the stress and pain of their life. So even if somebody doesn't welcome you to share their pain , you can always help others to be happy. And trust me, this doesn't take much of your effort. Its comes spontaneously from within. And the satisfaction that you get by making others happy and seeing them smile is a heavenly feeling.
Why I need to make others happy????
We are social beings. we cannot live alone. we need a society to carry on with our lives. So we need the contribution of each person to make our society grow and be at its best. We want to live in a happy society. And a happy society can only be obtained by making each person happy. So there lies the importance of making others happy. We need to think about 'us' and not just ‘ me’.
So when we are happy from within then only we can try and make others happy. We need to try fulfilling our wishes first. we need to discover our joy first, only then can we make others happy.
