Just Untag Happiness :-)

Once I was just brooding over life...I mean what we want...what we strive for...what we long for in our lives...what we all chase throughout our lives...???

I got the reply from my heart...my soul...and my mind...unanimously...the response was "happiness"...Yes, it is happiness we always try to seek...Ok...just think...


We want good health...why? We feel energetic & active...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want good family...why? We feel blessed & being loved...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want plenty money...why? We feel financially secure...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to look beautiful....why? We feel nice...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want trustworthy friends...why? We feel that we are not alone and there is somebody whom we can bank upon apart from our dear family...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want promising career...why? We want to have respect & position in society (which society unfortunately tags with job & money)...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want nice life partner...why? We want to share our life’s happiness, sorrow & everything with one of our best friends; a person whom we can rely under all the even & odds of life... ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want lovely & brilliant children...why? We want to feel proud of & make sure to leave a legacy when we leave this world...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to spend time with nature...why? We feel peaceful...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to do social service...why? We feel great to find that we can make difference to somebody’s life...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to be a known face...why? We feel wonderful to find that we are recognised...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to buy a beautiful spacious villa & a luxury car...why? We feel good to find that we can afford a good standard of living...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to listen melodious music...why? We feel relaxed...ultimately we feel "Happy".

We want to see all the good things in this world...why? Because...ultimately we want to feel “HAPPY”... :-))) {the above list can be longer}


If the ultimate thing we wish to have in this world is happiness...then the point is why we wait to be happy. Why we tag our happiness with events to be happened over which we have no control or insignificant people's arrival, departure, criticism or even appreciation?

Do you believe that we will get all the above mentioned possessions at the same time? Actually, you all know the answer, it seldom happens. Life keeps the balance. And that is why it matters to untag happiness with the external things.

If no matter, what we will get...at the end of the day we want to feel happy...why we can’t be happy in the course of getting it or even if we don't get it.

Yes, we should always strive for everything we deserve or desire...but should always keep in our concious mind the supreme aspiration..."Happiness".

Don’t tag your happiness with events or not so important people in your life.

Don’t ignore your near & dear ones, health, integrity, character & nature(mother nature).

In the pursuit of happiness don’t forget that “Happiness is the state of mind” Untag it with everything which is external...Choose to be happy...don’t chase it.

With a happy smile :-))),

PS: "Untag" is not a dictionary word. But I hope, it has communicated the right meaning.
