The idea of happiness - mind garblings

Posted by Jay-talking! |1 comments

What is it like to feel inspired all the time? What will keep you going all the time? Is it the drive to become great, rich, powerful, famous (and all that clichéd blah) or is it just the simple pleasure of happiness? Pursuit of happiness? What’s the basic fulcrum around which the whole idea of your happiness revolves? Is it just an abstract idea that you can recall to memory, summon at will or is it an ideal that entices you, mesmerizes you without your realizing it – you savor in the experience without realizing the treasure that you hold at the moment – only to soak in the memories on hindsight and wishing for an encore.

Again, somedays you feel melancholic. There is no logic to how this feeling rests in your heart. It just happens. Some subconscious long lost memory activated, some basic expectation dashed, some raw nerve touched tangentially, some uncomfortable truths that you refuse to face. No matter what, the reason seems a little out of reach. You can NOT possibly objectivize it.

Every day is a growth in terms of ideas, experiences, learnings & emotional development. Every day is a change; challenge is only to change for the better. Everyday as Life goes on, you create a personality around you which you believe is strong enough to withstand any blow – physical or otherwise – from whichever source. You feel the strength in your heart to bear out every worst case scenario imagined, worked out and worried upon to death in your mind. You would have already worked out the degree of difficulty in bearing every calamity and rest assured in the knowledge that you are prepared for any outcome, any eventuality – the happening of which becomes only a formality and then you term it as Growth or Experience or Life indeed.

In short if Life is a battle, you are prepared for the sledgehammer impact. Then from nowhere –out of the blues – something hits you and you are not the YOU anymore. It happens. Some loss … of emotions, of individuality, of Time and its relative impact on you, of a dream and of a vision. Then again some days, something happens that moves you. Touches you and creates faith. Someday – the euphoria of joy engulfs you. Nothing can stop you. Wow, can you hear the lion roar inside your heart?

Which are the days you remember most, which are the feelings that stay with you?

After all what’s Life if not seen from your perspective? Everything that you see, hear, touch, smell & hold is Yours. It’s a singular unique experience. Nothing and no one can describe it for you. The understanding of the whole self and indeed of the whole Universe is within the ME and within the YOU!! Getting used to the experience of Life? Time to ponder?

This here is Life. Life, as it is, starts NOW. Right here. This moment. In total exclusion to the rest of Life if it were just a measure of Time. No sweat. Don’t blink now. Face it as it is. Enjoy the newness of the moment. OMFG!! God’s awesome !!
