Creating Happiness
Happiness has been defined as that feeling of pleasure. Happiness is a natural thing that takes place when both the brain and heart are satisfied. We are not happy when there is dissatisfaction within us. May be we are not happy with the salary we receive or with the situation of our country. Various problems like load shedding, pressure of studies, examinations create dissatisfaction within us. Satisfaction arises only when everything goes the way we want it to… You are right! These are all theoretical things!
But there are ways to create happiness if we learn how to. The first thing we need to understand about happiness is that it is a state of both the mind and emotion. When one is sure one must do one’s job, what’s the benefit of trying to avoid it? If a person learns to love his job, there is less chance of him or her feeling dissatisfied with it. If a student learns to love his book, he will obviously not find studies a burden.
It is necessary to understand that there is a difference between worrying about a problem and working to solve it. Even when we know this, we worry! It may not be possible to work to solve a problem all the time. But there are ways to minimise one’s worries.
Try flying a kite at such a time, the higher the kite reaches, the less one’s worries. Focusing on good things makes us feel great, excited, energised and enthusiastic. So, it will not be a bad idea to dedicate some of our time to being with nature to relieve us of our tension.
Research has shown that a pet helps to reduce tension also. Other ways of minimising tension is listening to music. They say music is the medicine for the heart. The right music at the right time will definitely minimise tension.
There is dissatisfaction as soon as our aim takes a wrong direction. A businessman, for example, will never be happy if he tries to become a singer if does not have the talent. Also, no matter how successful his business is, there will always be a germ of dissatisfaction within him. This will result in frustration, which might give rise to smoking and drinking habits.
Aim at happiness and make happiness our goal. If you are interested in art, go for it! Don’t worry about whether there is scope in it or not. Don’t be tensed over whether you can make a living out of it.
In brief, happiness appears from being satisfied Let’s learn to accept what we are and be satisfied with what we have. Trouble, tension, worries are the substances that act as hindrances in being satisfied.
