When Will You Be Happy?
No matter what we do or what point of life we are in, we all want to be happy. That's the ultimate driving force behind any action.
So are you happy now?
If you are in high school, you think you will be happy when you go to college. When you are in college, you cannot wait to go to the university. It would be more fun at university. You have a lot of opportunity. You can spend time the way you want. You have the freedom that you always wanted. No one will tell you what to do or what not to do.
When you go to university, you have everything that you wanted before, but now you want something else. You think without having a girlfriend or boyfriend, life is nothing. You still focus on other things instead of what you have now.
After completing academic studies, all you want is to have your dream job - that might be working in a certain organization or anything else. Everything seems useless if you cannot get that. Now your happiness is to work for a particular company or organization.
You are happy for a short period of time after having your dream job. Then you think to get promotion or increment of salary. Or, you want to work in head office of that organization. Whatever it is, your happiness moves to that.
It will not stop there. Now you want to get married and have a family. That's fantastic! Everyone wants that.
Finally, you find the perfect girl or man with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. Everything is alright and you get married. Now your happiness moves to spending more time with your wife, going somewhere, honeymoon of course. You think you have the happiest moment of your life. Then you feel something is missing. You want to have a baby. Being a father or mother has a great responsibility. It moves on.
Another thing comes up after that. It will never end for the rest of your life. And your happiness moves to another thing. You will not be happy for your current situation.
Now the question is when you will be happy. The moment you touch your desired happy moment of life, it does not last forever. It changes and shifts to another place.
Are you going to chase happiness that you think you will have only after getting somewhere? Think again.
Ask yourself what you have right now. Isn't there anything that makes you happy now? or You feel empty inside. Unfortunately, sometimes you do not realize what we have until we lose it. For that reason, we take it for granted.
Little things in life can make you happy. Look at the children, their smile. They are so happy. When they try to walk, they fall many times. They fall and try to walk over and over again. They don't feel that they cannot walk. So what happens to you now? Can't you try like a baby?
If there is someone that you think is holding you back, talk to her or him. You will never find a way if you don't try enough.
Be grateful for what you have. The thing is, happiness has no age. You can be happy where you are.
