Chasing happiness have been single most life goal for most of us. But its definition varies from person to person. There is a preconceived notion of what a happy life looks. The whole society and its systems are built on these ambitious yet exhausting set of standards. We fall for all these fallacies regardless of it being unattainable.
What is happiness? Is it a state of mind? Do you need to have all the worldly affairs fulfilled in order to be happy? Certainly there is no black and white answer for this. Time and again its been proven not everyone who is happy has every desire fulfilled nor do they have ample tangible possessions. Being happy is a state of mind where you are at ease and serene.
We crave for euphoria. We desire to be happy all the time. Thats the default setting we are born with. But the journey to happiness is too far fetch at times. Staying positive when life throw its curveballs on you is extremely tough.
Road to happiness is like a long road trip where you embark on the journey as prepared as you can but along the way you meet few bumps on the road. Well, thats the natural phenomenon of life. There will always be events that are beyond your control where your only job is not to succumb on it but acknowledge and accept.
My personal scale for happiness is the quality of relationships I share with people. How much I can connect and be compassionate. Love is all in all the essence in which relationships are build. Its how much love we give to people that in turn gives us the sense of pleasure. Humans are social beings for eons. We will always want to have meaningful relationships to be our most happiest.
