Being Happy !!!!!!!!

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

I know lots of people including me who when asked if they think that they are happy with the things happening in their life.. be it with career wise or in their relationships.. the standard response will be not exactly but i wish or think it will be better..

All of us are trying to chase behind the dream where all our lifes are perfect.. where we don't seem to have any problems in our life.

 Just wishing that getting a promotion at work or getting the latest model car or getting a bigger house will automatically make us happy. We just don't realise that once that dream or ambition is fulfilled we automatically replace it with something else. Something much more bigger and much more important or atleast we feel is important to us at that particular point in our lives.

Which thus makes us forget what are the things that genuinely makes us feel happy.. really happy about one self.

May be it could be as simple as having a very lazy day.. starting from a lie in on the bed... or to just playing on your X-box. It could be catching up with your spouse and doing things together or meeting up with friends and trying to catch up with them and having a good time.

Now when we have finished up with all the mad rush of the new years and where the resolutions are pretty much gone with the wind ( i apologise  to those who are still able to keep up with their resolutions ) more less because we couldn't find the time to do things for ourselves in our busy lives.

I have made a small compilations of quotes that i found on the web.. and thought will share them here..

"Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have."

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

"There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will."

"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

Now what ever said and done.. reading this post and going through the quotes.. end of it all.. its all down to our mind state.. and that's something that we choose to do.. i am choosing to be happy let what ever it may be.. what about???
