Whatever "it" is that you think will bring you happiness. If you're not content without it, you will never be content with it.
As a norm we all tend to have desires that we want to fulfill, once they get fulfilled we are happy, but if not, we are upset.
However, If you are not spiritual enough to be happy and content even without having that thing or experience or person that you desire then you will never be able to be truly happy and content.
There is always something new that will excite you, once you get that, then there will further be something newer in store. It is an endless circle. Associating your happiness with these desires is like postponing your bliss only to be experienced in your next desire, once that gets fulfilled you run behind the 'next' and the 'next' and the 'next'.
The key is to be content right NOW and witness how Life unfolds its wonders for you.
This may sound crazy but sometimes you do not get what you desire even after constantly chasing it for a long time. But the same desire gets instantly fulfilled the moment you let go of the need to have it.
It sounds like a mystery to me, but I think the more cheerful and at peace we are with our selves the more awesome life will become.
So...STOP CRIBBING and START LIVING.
Yes very well written Mr.Rafaat.In today's scenerio the restlessness not only in kids but also in adults is a proof that there was insufficient attention and interaction or appreciation from the ones the child needed as a result the discomfort of not being accepted lingers all the time in the minds of such kids and adults. This endless effort results in the weariness and the individual ends up taking a final step to get free of such a life.
