‘Discover happiness within’

May 19, 2019 12:05 am | Updated 12:05 am IST

What is happiness? Is it something that comes from outside or from within? Well, it’s a tricky question. Anything that gives us pleasure gives us happiness. But sometimes this warmth is a bit dim because we don’t feel happiness from within… our heart and mind are filled with certain thoughts that prevent us from imbibing happiness.

I came across a line in a magazine, “Happiness comes from within, it is not served in a plate, it is you who has to feel it.” One should find solace and happiness in small things. Happiness is scattered all around you, you have to discover it yourself. We don’t need expensive holidays, just a quiet, long drive with your loved ones can energise you for months.

Beautiful and expensive gifts won’t give you the pleasure you’re searching for; a few heartfelt words are enough for this virtue called happiness. Money can’t buy happiness. Sometimes smaller things can do wonders than the bigger ones. So, beautiful people, enjoy every moment of life and respect it.
