Sitting in my car daily travelling from home to work I gaze at the traffic around and wonder how each person is running for a different goal, a different destination. Each person headed for his own new struggle in life, yet another day of hard work to earn money. Some sleeping away to glory, some driving and cursing the traffic, others day dreaming like me. Each one has a special plan for the day to make a difference in their lives, each ones hoping for a better day than yesterday.
In between my car also passes through the not so privileged areas! The people here work for the construction of big apartments but themselves are parked in one corner of the road. They derive pleasures from very simple things of life. They eat the simplest of food, they sleep in peace, their needs are small and they labor hard the whole day so much that they would never need to get a lipid profile done all their lives. They never have to worry about working out.
Yet they must be looking at the road on other side and thinking if at all God gave them as much money as he gave to people they see driving a Car or for whom they are constructing the house they would live happily ever after without any further desire. There would also be times when they must be looking into the sky with anguish and despair asking God for a reason to this disparity.
Little does he know that the car guy who he thinks is blessed by God is still struggling and leading a far more complicated life for more cars and more houses!
It just never ends or does it?

You bring out a interesting point. What is life after all. Why do we take birth and what is our goal in life. The quest for this answer is somewhere in everyone's mind. Lucky are those who realize this and then work towards achieving that goal. But if you look at it end of the day everyone wants to be "happy". Being "happy" is pretty much the unwritten goal in everyone's life. And it is this search for happiness that drives different people to different lengths to achieve it. In this quest what man fails to realize is that happiness is in every moment, happiness is now, happiness is in every breath you take, the joy of being alive and kicking ! That is true happiness !
Grass is greener - the other side "ALWAYS" ,,isnt it.. in spite each one of us know n realises this phrase, but still none of us do away with it... We still feel grass is greener the other side alwayss... litlle that we know, what is in our plate and why is it so..!
Had each one of us known this, this world would have been a different arena in its own, where humans less but gods dwelled more...
there are some very greatt lines that i can re colelct ,.. may be this will keep us going...
" Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective
as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles
in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the
kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the
most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with
their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself
too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are
everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of
it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own. "
Yes,, happiness & success are state of mind.. its there always if u believe it is - else ... the rest is history..
