[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ HAPPINESS

   Happiness
        Love is the path, love is the source love is the goal - Baba


   After years of hard & dedicated service to his Company, Ajay was being
  appointed at  an elegant reception as the new Director.

  It was a small function where his wife Anita , a Home Executive & some of
  the wives of the other persons in top management were also present.

  In an adjacent room, Ann, the wife of the CEO of the Company, asked Ajay's
  wife a very odd & unusual question; "Does your  husband make you  happy?"

  The husband, Ajay, who at that moment was not at her side, but was
  sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to the conversation,
  sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest lightly in pride
  & hope,that she  would definitely not publically lower or degrade her husband, 
  would   answer affirmatively, since she had always been there for him during their
  marriage and generally in life.

  Nevertheless, to both his & the others' surprise, she replied simply; "No,
  no, he doesn't make me happy..."

  The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone was listening to the
  spouse's response. There was a sudden coldness in the air. The husband was
  petrified. A frown appeared on his face.   He couldn't believe what his wife was 
  saying, especially at such an important occasion for him. To the amazement 
  of her husband & of everyone!

  Anita sat up firmly & explained in a modest but stern tone to the other wives 
  who were present;
  "No, he doesn't make me happy... I AM HAPPY. 
The fact that I am happy or not doesn't depend on him, but on me. 
Both of us have the intellect & discretion to reason, interpret & decide. 
And I am the person upon whom my happiness  depends.

  I make the choice to be happy in each situation & in each moment of my life.
  If my happiness were to depend on other people, on other things or
  circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious trouble!

  Over my life I have learned a couple of things: I decide to be happy & the
  rest is a matter of 'experiences or circumstances' like helping,
  understanding, accepting, listening, consoling & with my spouse, I have
  lived & practiced this many times.

  Honestly, true happiness lies in being content"

  Relieved & reassured, a smile was clearly noticed on Ajay's face.

  Happiness will always be found in contentment, forgiveness & in loving
  ourselves & others. To truly love is difficult, it is to forgive unconditionally, 
  to live, to take the "experiences or  circumstances" as they are, facing 
  them together & being happy with conviction.

  There are those who say I cannot be happy  :
  * Because I am sick.
  * Because I have no money.
  * Because it is too cold.
  * Because they insulted me.
  * Because someone stopped loving me.
  * Because someone didn't appreciate me.
  But what they don't know is that they can be happy even though sick, whether
  it is too hot, whether they have money or not, whether someone has insulted
  them, or someone didn't love or hasn't valued them.

  Being Happy is an attitude about life & each one of us must decide!

  Being Happy, depends on us!   It Depends on Me.
  I fall. I rise. I make mistakes. I live. I learn. I have been hurt but I am live.
 I am human. I am not perfect but I am Thankful.!!
