    From my experience I can say that happiness comes from the minimum things you need to live. You should be content if you have a hand that can feed your mouth everyday, if you can talk, see the beautiful world around you, smell , touch and feel everything around you, have a couple of good people with whom you can share a laugh with and speak from the bottom of your heart. If you have a place to sleep at night and some food and water that can quench your hunger and thirst isn’t that enough to keep you satisfied.

    Probably in our life we might acquire a lot of things but does all of it stay till the end or do we carry them along with us in our coffins?Live to fulfill your needs and too much of stress to acquire more wealth , fame will only make your life more distressful and not blissful.

    If you get luxury , then you must enjoy every bit of it but you should reach a point in your life where it becomes a necessity and without it you cannot survive and it can ruin your entire happiness and life. Just like how Lord Ram left all his worldly pleasures and stayed in the jungle and never still never resented about it.

    I believe that one must have faith in the supreme. He surely knows what is good for us and how much we deserve. Try and always be in the path of truth for it will always help us to grow mentally and emotionally. Even young children should be taught to be more creative rather than enforcing in their little minds as to what they should be according to their parents whims and fancies. Though i do realize in today’s world being honest and simple will make you a misfit in the society but trust me at the end of the day you will be contented with your life, you can for sure have a peaceful sleep with no qualms and wake up with a smile the next morning. Isn’t that what we are all looking forward to.

    I was reading an article in which it is said if a man has all the materialistic goods he needs but cant even realise that he has it all and is still hunting for more and is never satisfied then he is never going to live a life of happiness when compared to man who is satisfied with the simple things in life and cherishes everyday and considers everyday as a blessing from god will surely be more happy and make people who are around him too happy and cheerful . That is life according to me.to realise what you have is the biggest asset.

    Very thought provoking. In this rat race world we fail to enjoy the small pleasures of life. But however it becomes too late by the time we realise it.

    Too much of sangraaha or accumulation of wealth,relationships, materialistic items can never give you joy and happiness. It will just make you worried and stressful thorough out. Let go things. What you deserve you will surely get if you do things the right way an with the correct frame of mind.
