The Pursuit of Happiness

The Pursuit of Happiness 



When we are sad and lonely, all we want is for someone to hold us and comfort us. When all is not well and life gives us a sudden turn of events or a persistence of sadness, and it's been a while all we want is for one way to get out of it. To rise up and say it doesn't bother me anymore , I'm doing the things that I love. 

 But just like in a broken hearts' dilemma, this is not so easy to achieve. Sometimes we end up too down the rabbit hole to recover so easily. 

 More often than not we have to put up a brave face and show to the world that we can take it. That we can overcome the pain and the sadness and come out of the depressed phase.

 How does it begin then, the pursuit of happiness. We lay low and think of all the little things in our circle of life. We probably have the thought , "how did I get here?" " What if things had happened this way than how it has? Would it be different now" and then "How would it be if things had turned out to be a little different!".

 Our imagination kicks in and we start dreaming. We explore the possibilities in our life. For an unemployed youth this could be the thought of getting a job, for a poor man the idea of a regular meal and for a broken heart the chance of getting back together with his/her loved one. We know we can't get everything but we still want it all. Is it really that much away from us. The idea of being truly happy, to have it all. To have the innocence and the dreaminess of when once we were a kid. 

 A little bit of courage, a little soul strength gathered from our imagination of the endless possibilities of life put us in the path of achieving or trying to achieve that happiness. To look for your happiness is in no way selfish but its just like taking care of yourself as someone once told me. 

 And after all aren't we all running after happiness, we all want somethings out of life that we dream of and that we aim for. Our goals and dreams give us the necessary courage and idea to go forward and get it. 

 Sure some struggle is inevitable, as my grandma used to say to me , even for the king of the jungle the food doesn't get to him. The prey doesn't present itself to him , He has to Hunt and earn his share. And faith is what keeps us going towards that inevitable aim. When the dream is good and the heart is still beating the idea of achieving it doesn't seem so hard. All we got to do is to focus and believe that no dream is impossible , no dream is too big.

 The pursuit of happiness is a noble and worthy aim that each man or woman has to fight for. It might give you pain, it might take a while but you got to keep your faith and keep doing the things you believe that will take you one step closer to the dream, to achieve what sometimes looks impossible the idea of happiness.

The Test of Time

The Test of Time We all face the test of time once at least in our lives. We may think it's all the time that it's what is defining our daily lives. Yet nothing can be farther from the truth. In the sum total of all that we go through, the tough times, the trials, and all everything is woven together and entangled in the fabric of a few, in many cases a singular Choice. This Choice comes to define our lives. Some may realize it only on their deathbed, others when it is too late to do something. But We Are doing something and it's never too late in this life or the afterlife. Why does this Choice and Why This choice only defines us?  It is because it has what encompassed the purpose of why we were born. That do or die, make or break, is the moment when we make an innocent selection of principles to define our lives. We live on them without realizing that they are defining us, but our subconscious knows it and this fact is what keeps us together from the myriads of the mind a...

WONDER

WONDER S omething to gaze upon, Fill your mind with Wonder, Something to get lost into, Till you can't think of another. R ealized I have no control, In the place of wonder, Senses take over me, My heartbeat is a skip, and into her eyes, I am lost. F or when you are lost, the time is so soft, And then a lofty quest, Comes out of its rest, Inside the spell, cast it is, a challenge to be found, Inside in the nest, Success is this the time for your calling, want to just be lost in wonder when I, Break free from one, Wonder is the choice, quick as a prey fish, For choice could be lost, focus and pick one, and rise from the ashes. S o pretty the view, from where I am, I got lifted by her majesty's loving glance. Y es, I chose wonder over luck any other day, for what is success without a sense of wonder, Yes, I am, I am high, Rising out of darkness, she brings me to light, Bright face in front of me, I couldn't resist, For what charm i needed, when she's is a keep.

Absentia

Absentia As the name suggests, I am referring to moments in your life when you do some activity with the presence of your mind in something else. In that moment you are stuck in, there's no place else you'd rather be but in that memory or thought that makes you forget what you were doing in the first place. It is like a memory of the past, or your vision of future. You aren't ready to decide how to settle that thought and get back to your task. That invariably is like a conscience that won't allow you to get forward without answering it. And in those moments, do you wish that you would have changes something in the past, changed the moments you regret and which you realize only then. It is definitely the strike of conscience. You feel you wouldn't have been so proud of a being and be that human that would just listen to your heart and do it.. Which could have changed the moments to come or the moments you have lived. You can ignore it but then it gets stronger and c...
