happiness is in our hands

If we wait for happiness we wait forever. If we start being happy, we are happy always.
Everything and every being has a darker side and a bright one. There are moments that bring us happiness and there are moments that bring sorrow. We remember what we choose to store in our memory bank. If we feel life has been cruel to us, probably the fact is that we are being cruel to ourselves by storing all the negative moments in our memories.

The key to happiness is to realise the energies we generate. Negative energies attract negative energies and positive ones bring more positive energies. We see a few families which are completely deprived of peace and harmony. There are fights all the time. Looking deeper into the issues, we find there are no issues at all. There are no reasons to fight still, the whole atmosphere is scary. Small matters which are not 'matters' at all are kept as hurt egos and repeated time and again. Nobody is happy although everybody could be happy. It begins with issueless complains and grudges but with more and more negative energies accumulating, things actually start taking a bad turn. Life becomes a nightmare, people fall sick, business suffers, friends turn into enemies and it simply goes on. We start blaming our destiny without realising that we are responsible for where we are. God has given all of us a brain to think, an ability to laugh, tears to cry and let go the sorrow. Half the times we are sad and crying is because of an expected bad time in future. While we wait for a happy moment to make us happy, we always cry in advance and continue crying when a sad moment really strikes. We could be much more happier if we reversed this.
If we start smiling on a hope that future will bring happiness, and wait for the sad times to really strike before we start crying, we would all be happy and smiling 90% of our life time.

God's clock always strikes on time

I read this somewhere- "Dont run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans and He has time. God's clock is never early nor late. It always strikes on time. Have faith".

When we have faith in God, our worries begin to vanish. We dont have any more complains from life or from others, because we know there is a right time for everything. If God answers your prayers, He is increasing your faith, if He delays, He is increasing your patience. If He does not answer, He knows there is a better answer ahead.

We always have two options in life. The easier one is to follow others blindly and walk the tested way. The other option is to to pave a new path and be a leader for the rest to follow. Whether to get lost in crowd or to establish our own identity is in our own hands. As Einstein once said "I am thankful to all those who said 'No'. It is because of them, I did it myself," when we set on a new path hurdles are bound to come. What is important here, is to be clear on where will this new path lead to. Not every new path is a better path, so it is important to think twice before treading in a new direction.
