Happiness

-

Happiness is a beautiful word with a beautiful meaning; to finally be one with true joy as well be glad to just be alive. It is simple but not so simple. The reason is happiness is always scarce and is momentary than lengthy boredom or melancholy. Still, when it comes as a surprise it makes the hardship worth a thousand times more.

We are always over-complicating things as they are. Thus tending to make the situation worse and perceiving worse and feel the despair of losing control. A failure in a relationship, in business, or even just a daily chore is very taxing to both mind and body but if you are passionate about being happy you could see the brighter side of those failures and choose it to be a motivating factor to do it again with a different approach and find happiness with eventual success. High expectation is a kill-joy and so is the narrow perception of just effort and result...is it not more realistic to just live the moment and enjoy the time spent during the activity. Would it not make a thing as ordinary as breathing the air a most enjoyable experience, as we feel ourselves relaxing and more into the present. 

Happiness is not a complicated experience to be felt...it is just a mental state that can't be reined in to control but is abundant when freed from the metal bars of judgment we put ourselves and others whom we come into contact with through our senses. It is true that the past has made us who we are today and the future determines what we are doing now but happiness is neither about the past nor the future, it is about the present that we live now this very second.  Though it is subjective, the basic functionality in living beings is that it requires awareness of the present experience and find the pleasant and brighter aspect of that experience. Therefore, living on... moment by moment by being present without any expectation of any kind and being happy for the happiness sake is the way to happiness...is it not so?

Who am I? The question of existence...

Before assigning a gender given by nature (or changed later) or a name by your parents (biological or otherwise), why not delve deeper for once, and truly ask yourself. " Who am I...?" Here are some inspirations for the inquiry to be as meaningful as intended: Time Time is the witness of history, light-bearer of truth. It is the only power that can give justice to the I,  defining in the entirety of what I was, as I am cannot fully recall even my obscure genealogy including what I will be, my pedigree... "I was..."  A sum of memories of past; success and failures both, of happiness and sadness and boredom in-between, I was once naïve and young yet I remember those times most, for they are unburdened by the questions when time takes all the innocence and the world wants us to take responsibility for ourselves "I am..." Present, fully immersed in the reality of 'now'. I relive my past and can laugh at its foolishness. I make plans for my 'future&

About Love

Strip away all the comforts of civilization and step away from all of its conformities. You will find me contemplating, both physically and mentally exhausted, confused in solitude: “ What is love?” “If there is a heart beating next to yours despite all the vagaries life weights you with, then that lightness of being, the feeling of glad vulnerability is perhaps the closest thing to true love” “To be known for all the right reasons despite being so wrong, is it love?” The world fades away in a blur and I am forgetful of things that are present. Yet, I remember things I should not have forgotten … you see love is the magnet to draw forgotten memories and a powerful catalyst of change in your life. It motivates us to be civilized, and find the middle ground, as it brings the thing called “should/could” into our lives, and we start to feel empathy for the less fortunate and be more forgiving. Being civilized means having the ability to survive and to be able to think for someone whom we

The Quest of Love

  Intro One of my respected instructors informed me of an attitude in which normal everyday events may be perceived as quests. Be it simply an ordinary occasion or a thrilling one, through perceiving it as a quest, we see the world we constantly traverse through, for at the least once, differently, recognize its salient functions and be self-inspired to place plans into action. for example; waking up early, finish off the to-do lists, ta-da! a stealthy kiss good-bye to an irritated partner prior to hurrying to work, etc., etc. Quest; simply means the search for something which is meaningful, but quite tough for the present 'me' or 'us' to achieve. Yet this limitation only exists in our mind. With discipline, followed by consistent willpower, and herculean effort, that supposed difficulty can be chipped away if not in an hour or days or even weeks, then years if it is necessary to do so. "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome" With this in the mind, we put efforts into
