What does it take to be happy?

June 07, 2022

     I love to listen to people who are more successful than me, as they help me guide along the journey to where they are. I recently had an encounter with one such super successful person who is always cheerful and happy. 

    He was talking about happiness. 'Isn't everyone searching for happiness?' But with this fast paced life, all I do is work and check my financial health.  But when he talked about happiness, my eyes indeed started glowing. It is true that without happiness all the money in the world does not make sense. 

    I had heard about this previously in a video documentary called 'The Secret' It says everything is basically energy. The energy we carry is the energy we can transfer to people around us. If I genuinely smile, then inevitably I will be able to put smiles on face of everyone around me.

But then, how to achieve it? was the question in my mind. 

    In return he asked us, 'What comes to mind when you think about being happy all the time irrespective of the external factors.' The only thing that came to mind was children. Every person has a child within themselves. In this journey of life, we often grow up and let the child within ourselves die.

But it is up to us to not let that child within us die. Happiness is a decision. If anything goes in my favor or not, I must put conscious efforts to be happy. To summarize, his message was 

Grow but do not grow up!
