Happiness-Gratitude

They say there is a lot of happiness in giving than in taking. I had heard and lot about this, but today I experienced it for the first time. I used to always wonder about my definition of happiness. I never knew what it was that made me most happy. Was it spending time with my friends, making my parents happy, shopping, eating yummy stuff, but today I realized that all the above mentioned were just temporary happiness, something that would wean away with time. But true happiness lies in expressing gratitude to the almighty and your dear ones after achieving your goal. What better happiness than seeing a tear roll from the eyes of the person you love the most on your success.

This thought is not originally mine, but of a very close friend, actually my "best friend". A wonderful person who urged me to think on lines of Gratitude. God gives you everything, without you even asking Him. In return He neither demands rituals or expensive shawls or pujas, all He expects us to do is "Love all and Serve all". To live in Peace and let others live in peace but somehow we manage to breach His trust and faith everytime. Yet He loves us and mercifully smiles at us. Let us all develop a sense of gratitude towards God, we cannot repay anything we get, but atleast we can spread this Love among our fellow humans and thereby make this world a better place to live in!!
