Do You Really Feel The Joy!!

"As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it. "
M.K.Gandhi

We always wonder what is it that can define complete happiness. Is it something materialistic or something spiritualistic. We always look for comfort or joy in everything we pursue...have you ever seen someone running behind his own doom..maybe not. We all run for what we want. Be it lord Buddha or be it some imbecile moron, both these people want peace. The quality of joy depends on what they seek.

Someone finds peace in just sitting alone watching the sun rise to it's ultimate beauty or someone finds joy in giving up life for the sake of the country. Gandhi found peace in helping others and Hitler maybe by troubling them. But in the end we all run behind something. Maybe aspiring for that one thing is a kind of joy.

Even I want something that would keep me happy, contended and maybe unnerved.

It is what we aspire for defines the quality of our personality. If that thing that decides whether we are spiritual or materialistic. Meera Bai left everything for the lord whom she had not even met, Bhagat Singh went ahead and sacrificed on the altar of his motherland at such a tender age.

The purpose of giving these examples is that once we decide on what is that one thing that we need to satiate ourselves, we just go ahead and make efforts to grab it. It's like Bryan Adams "Everything I Do " (Don't laugh Suttu) I know a friend who always had this passion to be an orator and he went pillar to post to achieve his goals and today he is working for a reputed T.V channel. He has achieved all this on his own. This is because when it came to that one thing he loved he used to defy the world to do it.

So guys if you know that this thing, this person, this place gives you the best feeling you have ever experienced then don't hesitate, just go for it. Don't think twice. If there is even a small amount of doubt in your head then back away, it's not what u want.

They say god works in mysterious ways and you have to recognize that. People who end up not getting the amount of joy they expected were the ones who did not try to feel it at the most early stage. You just don't decide overnight or maybe a friend said and you agreed, you have to give it a serious thought. this is where meditation and stuff like that comes, you have to think on things in deeper ways, be it career or your family or beloved.

Every aspect of life that gives you pleasure is important when you feel it deep down you soul.
