Happiness is something that cannot be put into a mere few words, it's not merely an expression but a feeling that rejuvenates you to do just about anything and everything - achieve what you felt was tough, seize what you felt couldn't be seized and see out the true potential in yourself.
It's very rightly said that a 'happy sate of mind, is a healthy body' and this is all the more true in today's highly competitive world, where smiling and being happy has become a luxury to cherish.
For me, happiness is measured not in terms of money or financial stability but in the little laughs and the smiles that I get from my family in whichever way I make them happy - it can be a rs5 ice-cream for my son, a 20rs gol gappa for my wife or a dinner at a good restaurant costing rs500 that means the world to my family and the happiness I see on their faces cannot have a price - it's simply priceless.
We often fail to understand the real sense of happiness that we get. Sometimes, we pursue after things that we believe can make us happy but they never do; and we sense that we somewhere failed to gain happiness but happiness is truly in the joy of spending time with your family, 'a happy family, is a happy life'.
Even the smallest of the things that you do for your family brings happiness to you. Think about it; when you hand over your salary to your parents, it's not the amount of the salary that brings a smile to your parent's face but the gesture of yours to hand them your first salary which brings upon a sense of happiness of their face.
Similarly, when you gift your mom a saree or take your family out for a dinner; they do not see the amount you pay but the happiness they get in spending time with you - this truly is the essence of being family.
I for one, find happiness in the smallest of the things. Taking a surprise day off from work and taking my family to a film, followed by lunch and ice-cream is for me the ideal way to make my family experience the joy of "happiness" and moreover, life is all about such moments filled with happiness.
In a nutshell; do not pursue something overboard to gain happiness, just look around and you'll find happiness in the most smallest of the things. Do not judge happiness by money but judge it by the joy that it gives to you or the people around you.
Happiness after all is anything that brings a smile to your face or the faces of your family members or friends - be happy, let happiness pursue you and not the other way around.
