Lead a happy and contended life

 


All of us must try to lead a  happy and contented life. Happiness can't be purchased from market. It is rather your mental attitude - your thoughts. There is a wrong notion that  money is the main source of happiness. No doubt money has a very important role to play. For your day to day needs, for having a reasonable good accommodation, for hospital needs, for bringing up children etc etc  - for  all these requirements money is very essential. But remember - Money is not every thing. You can see many rich persons leading a very unhappy life but at the same time poor persons may be leading a happy and contended life. Happiness automatically comes from contentment. Therefore one must try to lead a contented life. There is no limit for one's needs and aspirations. With the resources at your disposal, after meeting your and your family' needs you must try to help others in whichever way it is possible. In connection with ones official or business work, one must be spending more time but must also find some time for social work.  Do not brood over the past and waste your time. Be creative and get engaged and involved in some work. It is perfectly apt to remember.

" Unborn tomorrow and dead yesterday

  Why fret ? if today be sweet! "

According to ancient  Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

" Happiness depends upon ourselves"

Steps to remain happy

- Forget the unpleasant memories of the past and try to live in the  present

-Know that everything is temporary

-Dedicate yourself to service of others

-Have faith in yourself

-Share your happiness  with others

-Look at people who have more problems than you

-Reduce your needs
