HAPPINESS IN IMPERFECTIONS

'Happiness has to be attained' ... I do not know about you but i for one do not agree with this statement at all! Happiness is always there but we just look over it, turn around it. Actually, we all live in a magical fairyland, away from the pains of reality. We compare our present life with the picture in our mind which is not factual. 

Basically we have been conditioned to live a perfect life which really does not exist. We have got to understand that life is full of imperfections. And there is beauty, happiness and satisfaction in these imperfections. For instance, just have a look at your hands, are all your fingers of equal size? Of course not. The fingers of our hand are perfectly imperfect. 

The point is that happiness does not need to be searched or looked for but it comes from within. We are conditioned to believe that if life is happening in a preconceived way, only then can we be happy. But we can change this approach and live a satisfactory happy life IF we condition our minds to see happiness in imperfections. 

Let me tell you a story of a laborer who was out of work. He was sleeping on the ground using brick as a pillow. He seemed to be content and happy resting peacefully on his seemingly uncomfortable bed. A man passing by, woke up the laborer seeing him in such agony. The man asked the laborer that why doesn't he do something about his discomfort? like do a job or something. To this the laborer replied or rather asked the man, 'what should I work for?' The man replied, 'For money, of course!' The laborer asked again, 'For what he would use the money for?' The man replied, 'Silly! you would use the money to live luxuriously'. To this the laborer astonishingly replied, 'If that was for what I have to earn money then why did you wake me up from my luxurious sleep'. 

I am not trying to encourage unemployment here but the basic moral of the story is to tell you that the rough earth bed and the pillow brick was luxurious enough for him to sleep on because he saw perfection, satisfaction and comfort in it. Where as on the other hand, we find the same items- earth bed & brick pillow - imperfect and uncomfortable. So conclusion: Its All in Your Head! So get over it. Life is Perfectly Imperfect and its Beautiful that way :)

Hope you all will also appreciate and enjoy the imperfections of life.


C'ya all next time.
