In pursuit of true happiness....

What is it, that all of us, as humans with flesh and blood, as humans with feelings and emotions, as humans with senses and a reasoning, need, to feel fulfilled, to feel satisfied and to feel happy. 

Money? Comforts and luxuries? Attention?
NO. All, the human mind craves for, is Love & affection.
All, the human mind needs, is Acceptance.
All, the human mind is hungry for, is Appreciation.

To have a special someone to love & to be loved. To have a family to care and to care for. To have a bunch of friends to enjoy with and live life to the fullest. These are all riches that hold a lot more value than a hefty bank balance.

To have a best friend who understands and who you understand. To have a partner who accepts you the way you are and loves you for who you are. To have a confidante, whose shoulders you can lean on, during times not so good. These are all comforts that cant be traded in for any worldly luxuries.

To have a pat on the back, acknowledging your efforts – small and big. To get a round of applause, appreciating your achievements - small and big. To have a reassuring nod when you are in self doubt. These are all things that have the power of even bringing the dead back to life and to keep us going when we feel down in the dumps.

So, when loved, accepted and appreciated, is when we feel true happiness. That is where the true happiness of the mind lies. 

Today, take it upon yourself, to keep the minds of people around you, happy. Love them. Make them feel accepted and appreciated. Spread happiness and see how it comes back to you one day. The joy of giving is indeed like a boomerang. It eventually comes back. It has to. It will.
