This is life today. More of pain, stress, grievances, complaints, dis-satisfaction and chase. Less of happiness, peace, calm, satisfaction and sharing. It's a box - get in & there is no time to get out now. Hence the daily struggle - for existence or for sustenance, must strive daily. Let's sit in the box once again & be still. The path, the road to happiness is a journey within. The only way to travel this path is "to believe" in the journey. Believe in ourselves, have faith in the goodness, trust the right hunches and follow what be believe. Beliefs can be blind, misguided or wrong, our senses question the existence of our own beliefs. Mind it, it all about journey within, within ourselves, when we close our eyes, our mind never shuts down- thoughts of all kinds keep moving in & out all the time. This is the arena for the real struggle, fight till end and move over.
Let me ask myself now, what do I believe in, what is my faith, what do I trust and what for. To start traversing, I begin with myself. A bit of soul searching helps here - some sort of introspection - I start from being honest to my mirror. I see my face in the mirror and admit all my faults and good points - make a list - There is no one around other than me and myself - so truely honest conversion with myself. I lied to win a favour, lied for my envy or lied for greed or lied to harm someones just because I don't like 'em. All in the list. I'm the judge also - no reasoning - no questions asked - it is a true or false tick box. Now I know what's wrong with me, my mind and what's good that I can feel better about. The idea is to prove to myself- I'm not a bad guy and I don't wanna be a one. Bad guys never lasted - check the history or contemporary sources. It's the goodness that will always prevail & exist whatsover the chances are. Every effort, every thought, every wish, every action that carries even a ting of goodness will lead to happiness at some point of time or our journey. Just hold the ground, keep doing good work and do not drop the gaurd. Do not question the outcome, keep going. Do not compare the results or think what if I haven't done this - had it made the difference, keep going. Keep fighting within - I don't care whatsoever, because at the end of the day, it is the whole equation between me and myself. Myself is none other, but the entity of the Creator- it's Him whom we worship or do not worship - it's Him whom we remember or not - it's Him whom we think of or not, but He's always there within us - 24x7x365. So, it's all between us and Him and never any other way. This is the road to happiness. This is everything all about. And the journey starts now.
