The String of Happiness

 

Have you ever noticed that irrespective of what kind of rough time you are facing in life, or if the routine is killing you at any point of time, there will be that one string that will keep holding you, no matter how softly or indirectly or unrealistically?

Like, if you have a grumpy landlord, you might have a nice apartment. If your apartment is creepy, your workplace will be nice. If that’s sick too, may be your colleagues lend you an ear. Even if they are deaf and dumb, may be you go to office to just wait for lunch (as I do). If even your meals are uninteresting, may be you have friends to share some drinks with. If your friends are cold, may be you have a good girl friend/ boyfriend. If you cant afford (read bear) one then may be your maid is your agony aunt. If cant afford  girlfriend/boyfriend or maid, your pet will not befail you under any circumstances.

If you really can’t think of anything good, may be a look at your bank balance stretches a smile. If that too fails the sight of Euro falling against Dollars and resting on the under performing economies will keep you happy. You can simply google which currencies are falling and plan a trip to those locations!

The point is that at any point of time you have enough in life to hang on. It might be a straw as the proverbs say or any person/ activity/ time of the day that will pump enough positivity and become the defendant to your argument of ‘Life is unfair’.

If you still can't find any that simply means you have failed to recognize.

I recently found another such reason. I came across of a group of people who are equally lazy and willing at the same time to meditate. We sit for a weekly group session and share experiences.

Many a times I have to really push myself to attend it because the accumulated negative energy gains momentum and repels any disturbance to it by instilling irritation or uninterestingness of any form as resistance. But I have made a vow never to bow down to this unresponsiveness and keep negativity at bay.

So recognize that reason, hold on to it strongly even if it means bringing a change in you if you think that has seeds of happiness and then use it as a shield to be happy.

 

 

Yippie!! Meditation is back in my life.
