We all are here in this world to live only one life. One life- and that also †a very short one. No matter how long we live, it is never enough to enjoy all the good things a life has to offer. As there is very little time to enjoy, there is no way we can waste this little period of time being unhappy and worried or tensed. It's time we enjoy life- and being happy is the clue. But what is happiness? This is a very relative term and doesn't fall within the boundaries of any proper definition. But what most people say about happiness is that it is the inner state of well-being. If you feel you are well, you are happy. So there lies also the secret of happiness: feel well. But how can you feel well with all these unhappy events going on around your world? That is the big question most people ask as an excuse for their unhappiness. But there is still an answer- and those who know the answer, have found happiness. Imagine yourself in an Olympic race. It is the first time you got selected to the main rounds, and guess what? You are almost there to win the gold. But phew, just for a few milliseconds you miss the gold and end up with a silver. Are you happy? Imagine the same scene in a different way. Say, you were almost nowhere in the beginning of the race but at the end you run close †close to the fourth guy. Then you suddenly beat and become the fourth. As the end of the race approaches, you try hard and hard and yes! The bronze is yours! Do you sound happier? Well, research says you would be happier if you had the bronze †as you feel you ended up with a medal that many others missed. But with the silver, you would be feeling that gold you JUST missed! And that is the secret of happiness †being content! Life is also like that Olympic race. We have our golds, silvers and bronzes. Ultimate success is the gold. Though some people will stay awake the whole night thinking of the â€gold†they need to achieve- some others can have a good sleep thinking of the â€bronze†they got that is simply enough. That doesn't mean you can't expect high in life, and therefore, never succeed. But it means there is no need to worry if you try and fail, or if you are not perfect. Enjoy life with what you got and keep hope. There will be a next time when you will get the gold you just missed. No one is perfect, except God. So if you are not God, it is just write to have shortcomings. Many people just slip off the path of success when they feel unhappy of their achievements and feel depressed, tensed and worried. This will lead you nowhere but to failure. Life is not to be wasted with these mere distractions. Finding happiness in every sphere of life is not as easy as it seems. Sometimes, there will be events when nothing will work †not even the story of the Olympics. These are real bad times, but it is still possible to get over it. No matter how bad a time you are going through, there will be other people who are going through a worse time. Think of those, and you will find happiness in what you have. So whatever you do and wherever you go, remember to be happy. Life is one and only, so make the best use of it by being happy at all times.
