Escape from unhaypy life:

How boring! How teasing! How bad it is! I often came across these words. It is a wrong perception prevailing amongst peoples who say that life is boring and no way of happiness but it is the fact that life has many hardships and it is not an easy affair these days.

Happiness is just like a butterfly, if you want to hunt it, it will fly from you. Happiness consists in the fulfillment of desires, even for minor desires like craving for health.

Some material things can make people happy but it is temporary. Internal happiness is based on the individual efforts through conscious mind.

I think all of us face hard ships, do suffer and our own experiences can count. Some times our suffering bring wisdom and you can make your life happy if you face them courageously because “Har Raat Ke Baad Ek Subha Hai” (there is a gain after some pain). It helps to uncover the facts of life, and thereby we feel calm, peaceful and wise.

‘Mind can make heaven to life and if it is in a wrong path, can make a hell to life’. Mind can produce roots of unhappiness, it is often necessary to control and train the mind for enjoying happiness. It is important to avoid worry and fear because they are spasm of mind.

I have seen so many people who are disabled or handicap, even though they are living their lives happily. We should be grateful to God for the blessings that we have more opportunities then they have. One should always compare oneself in life not with those who are in a better position but with them who are worse; this will aggregate inner satisfaction and introduce internal happiness.

Even little things can keep people happy. Appreciation is a great necessity in life and society, we have to praise each other and admire each other.

Another thing that can keep you happy is a rainy weather, in this beautiful weather, I imagine myself in the valley of happiness, and for me it is just like a heaven on earth.

Social relationships are a great source of happiness, true happiness lies in true friendship, I feel proud in the pleasant companionship of an acquaintances.

Thus, we can say that the secret of happiness lies in unselfishness, kindness to others, a clean mind, clear conscience, and upright life. We have to dig out our internal feelings by our pleasant moods.

We have to banish dissatisfaction, and causes of sorrow. We can change our selves, our evil thoughts by our clean and strong conscious effort of mind.
