Happiness Beckons

God made human beings happy, but as we grew happiness diminished. Somewhere, something went wrong and we became frugal with our smiles and generous with our anger. The whole human race is facing stress epidemic, mostly all lifestyle diseases emanate from stress. Despite, all our efforts stress is not getting reined in. After all, how do you segregate work from office and office from work. How can't you think about the future, in such uncertain times? What if your children are not safe at school/ bus/ home? What do you do of the offending boss who just doesn't agree to what you say?

Should this not stress you? What is the solution? Where lies the answer? Right here and right now. Open your mind and be ready to read below:

1. Think about everything that has caused you quality stress so far. Ponder. What is the status of those factors that were once giving you heart attack?

The chances are most of those factors would not exist today or be under control. So, was that enormous stress that you took at that point of time worth it. No.

2. Begin to laugh at yourself as well as at the tricky situations that life throws at you. When you have to face it, drop the glum face and bear it with a grin on your chin. It will hurt less. How to do it? Just begin to laugh and the world will laugh with you. 

3. Do not dwell in the past or the future. The past didn't last. Neither will the present. The future will always remain in future. Today is the future for which you were worried at one point of time. It's not that bad. Bravo. You did good. Pat your back as you read it. You deserve it.

4. Don't read newspapers watch news channels. For an immediate pick me up, stop watching news the last thing in the night and the first thing in the morning. News thrives on unpleasant things happening around the world. Many good things happen too, but they don't make news.

5. Count your blessings. Everyday. This is the shortcut to happiness. 

6. Drop expectations. No one owes you anything. What you did was your karma and what others do is their. Let the universe calculate and you stop it. Life will be simpler.

7. Forget. Forgive and forget is the golden rule. But if it seems difficult, just forget. Forgiveness may or may not accompany it.

8. Accept. Accept rudeness and kindness. Rude people are victims of stress. 

9. Feed your soul. Go quiet once in a while.

10 Feel blessed. You are the chosen one. Trust it.
