People who profess happiness…seldom are happy!!. Its a fact. We cant be happy all the time and in everything we do. People who say otherwise are either lying or high on weed. No one can be really happy all the time, except maybe kids. And if you really are happy, what’s with the need to show it off to the rest of the world??..Why rub it on others faces??
Happiness they say is a journey and not a destination. That way if you don’t like where you are headed, all you have to do is change direction. Sometimes we end up spending our entire lifetime chasing happiness and eventually end up thinking that happiness can only be pursued and not achieved. Am I closer to the truth here??
TIME- BOUND HAPPINESS!!
I love both my boys to bits. My early days of motherhood with my first-born were quite challenging. I had no way of explaining to myself what I was going through. Life was just slipping away through my hands. I never thought I would be happy again. In my very own pursuit of happiness I started putting time limits to my happiness. I will be happy once Anku( my son) gets over his speech imparity. Then when that happened I decided I’ll be happy when he stops needing therapists. Once that was done, I decided I’ll be happy when he joins a mainstream school…when we move into a bigger house etc etc etc. There was no end to it. It’s like I was so afraid of being happy, that I was running away from it by putting time-bound restrictions on it. That’s when my second bundle of joy arrived. He was every mothers dream baby. A healthy happy child who was happy and content with everything and everyone around him. My family was complete…:)). That’s when I decided I’m gonna be happy NOW!!. No matter what tomorrow has in hold for me, today I will be happy. God has been kind so far, wudn’t it be ungrateful to sulk over things I cannot fathom!!
I realized, I will never know how wonderful my today is if I let my fears of ‘how my tomorrow will be’ intimidate and overwhelm me. I have watched my kids and learnt from them to seize the day and live my today completely. Tomorrow can wait
HAPPY MARRIAGES!!!
Reality?? Or a myth??...The myth of happily ever after. After being married for almost 20 years I can safely say, it’s a bit of both. It’s a myth and may come as a complete shocker to people who are in it for a free lunch and who believe happy marriages are dished out on a platter. It’s a reality for people who are ready to adjust and work hard to keep the relationship going.
Every marriage starts with a huge celebration. Couples enter it with dreams in their eyes. Huge mistake…keep your eyes wide open. Its not healthy to saddle ones marriage with unrealistic expectations. The burden will be too much for a relationship that has just taken off and is treading on fragile grounds. Its bound to bring the relationship crashing down. Like I stated in my FB status a cupla weeks back..”castles in the air are allright, till you try to move into it”...:)
