Happiness

Why are we earning?
Why are we slogging?
Why are we sacrificing?
Why are we sweating?
Why are we not living?
Why are we dying?
Why are we lying?
Why are we crying?
Why are we tense?
Why are we drinking?
Why are we smoking?
Why are we being selfish?
Why are we attracted towards position?
Why are we cruel?
Why are we sorrow?
Why are we sick with obesity, diabetes and hypertension?
Isn’t the purpose of life to be happy?
Are we seeking happiness in running after money?
What is the source of happiness?
Family…friends….
Are we losing out on them for the sake of money?
If we are losing out on our source of happiness then why are we chasing money?
Chase happiness
There is only one life
Understand your strength and weakness
Understand your ability
Don’t compare yourself with others but with your own self
Setting targets is fruitful only after understanding your own capabilities
Monitor yourself against what you were for tracking progress
Otherwise you will chase something that you will never get
In turn you will lose out on family and friends
In turn you will be unhappy
Life is too precious to be chasing the wrong things
The purpose of life is to be happy even in the minutest things
Work towards that and the complains would disappear
To live in a civilized society we require food, clothing and shelter
We have to work to earn for arranging those
The quantity and degree will vary individually
We are also all part of a system
Work is required for us to be in that system and to provide the necessities
But happiness is somewhere else
Work towards happiness and not towards want of more
Because the more you have the more you are secluded
