Secret of Happiness

When i was in class 10th everyone used to tell me "Study for the boards.After that you will be free.".I studied hard hoping for future happiness.As soon as i finished my board exams i joined Bansals.They said "Study hard for just 2 years.After you clear JEE you can do whatever you want and you will be happy." After entering IIT profs tell you the same thing and after getting a JOB your boss will be no different to you. And one day on your deathbed you will wonder "What did i do in life."


Listening to the people all the time is going to take you nowhere.People are using happiness as a bait so that you follow them around and wipe their ass.Happiness is not about satisfying others,its about satisfying yourself.TOTAL Happiness is the integration of the "dx" happiness you get everyday.People get so involved in their future plans that they forget the importance of this "dx" element.Think and work hard for what you actually like and do this daily.I assure you that when you fulfill these things you will get immense satisfaction.As a personal example it took me over a month to learn this but i can never forget the day i was able to do it for the first time .

This may seem to be stupid to you but you know what,i don't give a rats ass.Happiness varies person to person.People work all their life hoping for a Happy Ending.But i don't care just about happy ending.I want to be happy till the ending.
The moral here is that if you want to be happy throughout your life don't care too much about what others expect from you.Trust your instincts and fight for your passion and i guarantee that one day your heart will hug your brain.Thats why i say "APNA KAAM BANTA,TO BHAD ME JAE JUNTA" (There is a dirtier version of this quote but i wont mention it in this blog)

JUST DO IT

In every stage of your life people are going to say to you "you cant"....and by "people" i not only mean people in general....i mean your friends,close relatives,famous theories and even your brain is going to say these words....but before this thought reaches your heart i want you to ask yourself one question "have you even tried?"

                         The only limit in this world is that there are no limits. All other limits are meant to be crossed and records are meant to broken.Being a sportsman i have realized that "you are not what you think you are,you are always better".So the bigger you think the greater will be your potential. 

Many times during rallies i thought  that it would be impossible for me to reach the shuttle but eventually i have surprised myself..although i wasn't able to reach the next shuttle because i was too much startled by my reach...

Many people claim to be optimistic but in reality most of them are not.Sometimes i have observed my friends who had and still have great vision,but there is no action from their side.I Often ask them "Its such an awesome idea.Why don't you do it" and i get disappointed by their reply ie"If it were such a great idea then why didn't anyone in the past did it"....I mean how can you underestimate yourself like that.Don't you have any self respect.....I am not claiming to be perfect here but i really think people should believe in themselves..

One thing i have learnt from this experience is that change is going to happen no matter what....why don't you be the reason for it.....

POINT OF VIEW

Let me tell you a story of a man who lost his eye in an accident...He was highly depressed.....After few days he committed suicide.....Here i quote his suicide note...."I lost my eye in an accident....i was depressed but still had a will to survive.....then yesterday i saw a man who was blind since his birth........then i realized that he didn't know what he was missing....but i do....and that it killing me inside.....so here i eliminate the pain forever"

I am sure you think that the guy is stupid..Of course he was...no questions about that.....he was the biggest idiot on the ass of the earth...yeah he doesn't deserve to be on the face of the earth....But he has done something which always inspires me when i feel low..

Whenever i fail to do what i had planned....whenever i have a hard time .....whenever life kicks me in the face,ass,or the nuts .....i think about the man from the above story...which makes me feels so much better about myself......
Everything depends on the point of view....One says "oh my god....exams"...Other says "wow ....no more labs "

The moral is that always try to see the bright side no matter what position you are in ....you know why ...because it gives happiness and you know what is more important than happiness ..........NOTHING ....

NOT AFRAID

All those who say "I am not afraid" are lying including EMINEM.....The main reason that people say this is that they are too afraid to accept their fear.But they don't understand that it is okay to be afraid as it is impossible not be afraid of anything.
Generally people don't understand the power of fear.Fear should be considered as an asset and not a liability.Fear can help you to do those things that you never imagined you could do.U just need to know how to use your fears.U know when you fight against your fear and become successful,it is one of the greatest joys.Thats where courage comes into picture.If there is no fear..u can never be courageous.

One way to fight against your fear is by using your other fears.Its similar to the concept of paying off the debt by taking another loan.I can quote my own example here.When i was a child i was afraid to jump over a fence having barbed wires.One day while playing cricket our ball went on the other side.So i went to the other side using the door.While i was searching for the ball a group of straydogs started to chase me..Oh i forgot to mention about my fear of dogs.Ok so they barked and i was so terrified that i jumped over the fence and without any scratch. And yes i got that ball and felt like i had two more.

So the lesson here is never let the fear come in the way of what you want.Next time you want something go for it and if you feel afraid think "if you dont do it now you will never be able to do it".If you still are not able to do it then remember that if you don't eliminate this fear,i am going to kick you in the rear...and i wear spikes..so all the best and happy fear fighting..

FAILURE

"Those who have never failed have never lived".Its strange but this quote makes more sense only after failure.
No one likes to fail......but doesn't matter how much u try hard it is impossible to avoid it everytime.....
Even the most successful people in the world have tasted defeat..but the way they bounce back make them who they are...Failure should be looked as growing opportunities because the joy of success tastes much better if you have fallen many times to achieve it......Failure doesn't mean "its time to quit".....failure is the indication that " its time to change your strategies" .....Remember that failures do not suck....people who whine about it do ....Dont  worry if you fail after giving your best shot...worry only if you fail to give your best shot.....When things are in your hands.....fight for them and when they are not always try to see the bright side....Even failure has a bright side.....Assuming that there are fixed no of failures in your life.....the more you fail the probability of success increases.....I was supposed to write this article for a magazine....but now that i failed to do it in time.....i tend to think "who reads that magazine anyways"..

PASSION OR MONEY

Many times in life man goes through a situation where he has to choose between two things..one which he likes and other which he is good at...and either choice he makes he is going to look back to this situation...

and he doesn't want to lose both....so what should he do??

Although some go for money and some go for passion i beg to differ..

If you are confident that your passion is going to earn you money then you should go for it...otherwise you should go for money...dont let your passion become your obsession...but dont let yourself forget it and design a mechanism such that you will get back to it..

Even chetan bhagat wasn't sure about his writing skills..so he went for money...but he didnt forget about his passion and when he became confident about choosing passion as his carrier...he quit his job....

I know many wont agree to this but they should understand the importance of money too...those who think money cant buy happiness don't know how to use it....although your passion is very important....it may not necessarily make you rich....just because you like something dosent mean you have to get pigeonholed in that...

I am not saying to forget your passion...i am just saying that you will enjoy your passion better if you have money to rely on...you just need to be patient....because to gain something you need to loose something....or in other words sometimes to become immortal you need to DIE(ref..http://asitgodbole.blogspot.com/2010/04/encounter-with-god.html)....
