Why do I always ask the tough questions? I guess I’m just wired that way…I like
to ponder. This question in
particular has been nagging me for weeks now...What do I really want? What? Really now.
The answer is quite simple. I want to be happy.
Happiness entails freedom from worry, disenchantment, struggle or
conflict. It is a sense of peace
mostly within oneself. To achieve
it, one must be harmonious with others, nature and true to one’s inner
self. It fills the heart with
satisfaction of doing the right thing, making good thought out decisions and living
up to one’s ideals. Being happy is
also quite vague.
I cannot
be happy without having meaning.
What I do or dedicate myself must have meaning. The lack of it makes me feel
empty. However, choosing what
might be meaningful is not always that easy. It takes more than contributing to society. It has to be fulfilling at some
spiritual or emotional depth so that pleasure kicks in. Gee, I’m getting complicated now…is
happiness possible?
Time to invoke the inner child…
Happiness is just being. The mere act of living, breathing and being part of the
universe is enough. It is all we
need. Now making others aware of
that simple joy makes us rich!! I’m
not sure where I learned this; I firmly believe that if you don’t share what
you have then it is worthless. This
applies to your talents, your thoughts, ideas, and food…anything really. Sharing adds value to your being and
experience.
So what do I really want? To share my life with you and add value to my existence.
