Happiness Re-defined

Before I move ahead I would like to ask you a question. When do you feel happy? While some might say that when they are with their friends, they feel happy. On the other hand some might say that when they hangout with their family, that's when they realize that they are happy and some might say that when they get their salary on time, they feel the real happiness. So, different people will have different opinions and hence different ways to express their feeling of happiness. But that thing makes one thing clear that not everyone can feel happy about  a particular situation.

While some might feel a situation to be happy and some might say what's so special to be happy in it.

For e.g if you see a poor hungry person and offer him a piece of bread then receiving and eating that piece of bread might give him immense pleasure and joy that even you might not feel while having food in a big restaurant. Now this thing is clear that different person has different perspective regarding the same situation.

Now, the question arises - How could you really define Happiness if it differs from person to person?

There has to be something that can really help understand that from where this happiness really comes.

Well there is an answer for that. Happiness is just a state of mind, yes believe it or not but it is like that only. It's nothing more than just a state of mind. So, if we are able to tell our mind that whatever happening is for the good only and try to manipulate our self according to that, then you will always feel happy no matter in which state you are and no matter whether you are having a piece of bread as your food or non - vegetarian food. It our desire that never let our self to become happy. Always we want something better, if you are earning $500 then you will hope for $5000, if you have got  $5000 then you will definitely look for $50000 and so on. There is no end to our satisfaction. Once we will be able limit our self and once we will be able to tell our mind that I am satisfied with whatever I have right now with me, then you will see that satisfaction will ultimately lead to a happiness that invincible and that is what you were trying to have throughout your life and that is what will be able to give you something that is precious and that is going to be an eternal one. Apart from that if you start sharing your piece of pie with others then you will start feeling the change in your life. Your purpose for the life will change because in this world it is quite easy to grab and take from others but what is more difficult is 'GIVING'. If your $1 helps someone who is in desperate need of that then it will give you a sort of happiness , a satisfaction that is incomparable, something that you have never felt in your life while spending/getting amounts bigger than a dollar. Try it and you will see the change but please do it with your full heart. It would be better if you don't do this if your heart says something else.
