Finding Real Happiness

Hahahahah, hehehehehe huhuhuhhu! 😂

While I was writing this blog ,my papa told me a joke and the following upper👆 lines were my reactions
Every time we start with a story ,this time lets start with a 'joke!'
So Here is the joke :

J.      O.    K.     E!

I hope you had a good laugh!!😆😜
For the past 30 seconds you were happy....
And I'm glad I could be the medium for it.

The reason for starting with a joke is clear as the topic is about happiness!

After Reading today's blog I'm sure many of you would change their perspective towards seeing life and their definitions of happiness 😊👍

So what is happiness?
Some people will say Its a state of mind in which we experience lots of positive emotions , some will say happiness is a feeling of contentment.

 Everyone will have their different definitions of happiness and their different reasons to be happy .

For example :some people will be happy because they got promotion in their professional life , some people might be happy because they got their first salary ,some might be happy because their friends gave them surprise ,some people might be happy because lockdown has extended while some might be unhappy because of it,(we never know!) Etc etc

 
What we understand is happiness is very subjective, Right! what gives happiness to one might bring sorrow to another.

For example : Many people will become happy if they get bitter gourd sabji in their tiffin, but some might be unhappy because it's  B I T T E R gourd 😂
Also happiness has time limits .
Example : You laughed on the above joke ,now if I repeatedly tell you this joke ,there is higher possibility of people becoming angry rather than becoming happy.
If I want to make you happy , I'll need newer jokes ,newer strategies to make you laugh and get that dopamine dose .
So what's permanent and long lasting? - It's joy which is permanent and long lasting

Happiness comes from outside, joy comes from inside ,Go in the search of this joy!

The responses to above reasons of happiness might vary ; be subjective

But have you ever helped a genuine  poor person by providing him food and him giving you blessings ,"Beta, jeete raho!" isn't it the moment of joy!?
And this moment will possibly never go from our brain ! Whenever it will remind this incident , it's going to guarantedly leave a broad smile on your face.

  Yes or yes?!

This is the very reason why some rich inspite of being rich are unhappy and unable to sleep on the comfy beds they have whereas the poor on the other hand can sleep happily on the ground .
Some people are constantly striving to get promotion ,to get newer luxuries , to get more payment increments ,just to get that moment of happiness that dose of dopamine while there are some people happily staying in the huts , sharing half chapati into 4 pieces and still going to sleep with satisfaction, with the longlasting joy of being together!!

I know times are really tough , people are struggling ,but the only message I would like to give through this blog is find time for your self in this struggle and spend  time with your family and yourself ,because that's the greatest blessing and joy, that we are alive in this tough situation and have an amazing family with whom we can fight ,but at the same time share our joy !

Rejoice the blessings and find the real joy in life and not just go behind the temporary happiness!

Thank You!!
