I have just finished reading this book"i am fine" and wish to convey my heartiest congratulations for a fantastic read. Some of the principles mentioned in the book are really thought provoking and the title or theme itself is touching, encouraging & motivating.

Taking a clue from the chapters titled "Happiness" - I dived into my inner thoughts, posed questions & have tried to answer them to the best of my ability through my below article. 

_______________________________________________________________________________

Over the past twenty years of my career in Sales & Marketing, I have travelled to & worked in 34 countries globally. I have been fortunate to interact with thousands of business associates, friends, colleagues & relatives. I asked all of them one common question: What is the one thing which you want? Do you know One Thing which ALL...I repeat ALL of us want? Is it Money, Dream home, luxury car, Power, Fame, Health or something else?

ALL OF US WANT HAPPINESS!!!

What is Happiness? – I believe “Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, or worn.
It is the feeling of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude."

I asked can we buy happiness? Most of the greatest thought leaders said – NO, Not possible.

I further asked can we make or manufacture Happiness? All of them replied with a Big – NOPE.

Undeterred , I began my first spiritual quest “to fulfil this desire – a single thing That Everybody Wants” & my Answer  is “Yes, Sure One Can make happiness”. So, how do we do it?? How do we get happiness?

I believe that “Happiness” comes within you, ONLY when you take ACTIONS to make others Happy. These could be few simple basic actions such as – make others feel comfortable in trying times, give something, spend quality time, share, encourage, motivate, thank, help or donate – all of these have to be done “unconditionally” without any reciprocal expectations. By taking such actions, you shall be able to make others feel happy or notice a smile. Most of them may not Thank you for your deeds but you may feel that they are more comfortable. With this inner feeling, you shall “experience or feel happy”.

There are many things which people do NOT want, but we ALL WANT Happiness. If we all want happiness then the best way is to “Give” it to others or take Actions to make them feel happy. By giving & being grateful happiness will find its way back to you.

THE JOY THAT YOU GIVE TO OTHERS IS THE JOY THAT COMES BACK TO YOU.
