Happiness is Inevitable

I love driving my bike on the traffic-free roads. It gives me a great feeling of silence and peacefulness, unless some guy comes back and starts honking for pass or just because he got that habit to do so. I just hate the people who honk without any reason.

Anyway I am not writing this to tell what I hate but to tell what I love to do.

Driving back from office in the late evening always makes me to think exorbitantly. I think about my day, I think about my life, I think about helluva things and deep dive into my thoughts. It's just 10-15 minute drive between the office and apartment however this short duration is a sort of meditation for me. Each day I think about lot of new things, and whenever I think about something I always plan for writing those thoughts in my blog. I generally don't update all my ideas and opinion, as most of the time I end up sitting late over social networking sites chatting with friends.

Today while driving back to home I was pondering about "Happiness", I was thinking about me... Am I happy or not? Of late I am working late in the office, and most of the time found myself struggling around quite a lot of things, all the same I never found it boring, or something that is screwing my happiness. Happiness is not what we perceive happiness is, it is something else and what is that I really don't know. Some people find happiness in their daily work, some people give more value to the small happiness they are experiencing every day, some people love to find happiness in breaking the iceberg. If I talk about me, I am a person who loves to enjoy any moment that has any possibility to make me happy. I am happy being late in office, I am happy being busy, I am happy when I do some mistake thinking I learned something, I am happy when I get more work from my boss, I am happy when friends call me up, I am happy when I write my blog, I am happy when people support me, I am happy when I get up early in the morning and go to gym, I am happy when I speak to my family members, I am happy when I buy gifts for loved ones, I am happy praying to God everyday. So, I have various reasons to be happy. These reasons may bring happiness for few moments only, but they bring smile in my life. Smile does not mean we are literally smiling, literal smile does not entail we are happy and a sad face never says that we are sorry. Sometimes we are happy with a sad face, and sad with a smiling lips.

Happiness is something which is hard to define as it is not universally measured with the same standard and norms. It is different for different people, country and culture. It differs from person to person.

For me happiness lies in small things, it's inevitable and I create it for myself. For me happiness lies in self satisfaction.
