                                                        HAPPINESS.

Happiness is priceless. It is that feeling which has the power to convert every negativity into positivity. A happy person can change the entire environment with optimism, cheerfulness, and high spirits. It is that feeling which adds meaning to life. People like to be surrounded by happy individuals. It is a feeling which is contagious. It instantly circulates, brightening the environment, chasing away gloominess and pessimism. Life seems incredible and worth living with happiness.

But how to be always happy? Well, it is relatively easy. Happiness comes with gratitude and satisfaction. In today's world, we have a wrong notion about joy. We feel that earning a lot of money, living in palaces can make us happy. No. If that would be the case, wealthy people would never commit suicide. According to the statistics, suicide cases are more among renowned and wealthy personalities. Despite accomplishing so much, why do they opt for such drastic steps?  Well, it shows that money and fame are not associated with bliss. It comes with a heart filled with gratefulness, contentment, love, and compassion.

Always be happy with what you have. Remember that what you have is something many have been craving for. We need to see those who are less fortunate than us and thank God for our fortune. When we see somebody better than us, our heart gets filled with pessimism. We start becoming complaining boxes. Jealous starts sprouting. All this will take away the peace of mind and compassion, pushing us towards sadness. One best thing to remember is what we have is what we have asked for. No one can take away our fate. If we deserve something, we will get it; otherwise, nobody can give it to us. We can never steal others' fortune. When we cannot take others' luck or give ours to them, then why feel jealous?

We need to teach our kids to have the goal of not earning money but being glad and gratified. It will automatically make them rich. There is unknown satisfaction in giving charity. It is an inborn character that we were born to show generosity and help others. That is why, whenever we help others or give in charity, we are happy. Never expect anything in return. Otherwise, it will become a business, not a pleasure. Pleasure makes life celestial.
