Tips For Perpetual Happiness


Today someone asked me
What is enjoyment?
How can one be happy every moment?
This lead to some reflection and introspection
Is it possible to be happy in every situation?
Some are so bad
They do make you sad
So what is the solution?

Solution are there  for those who want
They will not work if you say I just can't

First is positive attitude in life
This will surely end all your strife
If whatever happens, happens for good
Nothing can ever spoil your mood

Second is absolute faith in God
A faith which says he cannot be bad
For my good he does everything
That is right thinking

Third is living in present
Enjoying your work every moment
If you do this throughout the day
You will be happy I can surely say

Keep your mind on the work in hand
It works like a magic wand
For concentration and happiness go hand in hand

Lastly keeping the mind thoughtless
is the key to absolute happiness

If you find this hard to practice
Here are some easy tips

Look at the world with the wonderment of a child
This will surely make you smile

Fill your mind with happy thoughts of future and past
To negatives if you cling only sadness they will bring

Enjoy the beauty of things near
Look at their colour
Feel their texture
Observe their figure
And be happy forever

Relish the food you eat
Watch it becoming feast

Have no desires
For they take away your smiles

Laugh aloud for no reason
It will make you a happy person

These and many such small things, go a long way
In giving you happiness, all throughout the day

If you greet everything with a smile
Happiness will prevail all the while

Thanks Victor. I agree with all that you say. We have to try. Tough indeed, but if we try we are definitely more happy than when we don't.
