A Happy And Contended Life

Since when we die, and we all die eventually, we can take nothing material with us, That should tell us that happiness in not associated with material things. We have to look elsewhere for what will make us truly happy.

I think one important factor is our mind being contented. Nothing can defeat us if you really want to achieve something. Of course there are ups and downs, i still remember i have family and friends supporting me and that works for me.I'm happy.

In my younger days I like to build castle in the air and one of the thing that I dream of is to have lots of money. Little did I know that wealth is not equal to happiness. Although I had some success in my business but it has taken a toll on my health. I abandoned a thriving business and settle for a peaceful and happy life in the comfort of my home stress free. Though I am penniless now but I have accomplished my duty as a parent to see the success of my children. Its a payback time for them and they dutifully do their parts. These days am no longer ambitious but am happy the way I am.

I believe that happiness is something that all people strive for in our lives, but I also tend to think that it is something that we are typically never able to achieve. You see, it is my feeling that our life would not be a complete life if we didn't have some kind of conflict that we face in our lives. Now, I really don't think that the money that we have in our lives has anything at all to do with our happiness. There is saying that money can't buy love, but I really think that it would be better said to state that money cannot buy happiness.

that is what we need more in today;s life to be devoid of any health hazards and live life calmly towards happiness.you must be lucky

i am not certain if i am contented with my life so to speak as i am living with what i only have. as long as my family is happy and could eat in a day, my heart feel blissfulness inside. in my life, there is none i would consider as my greatest achievement but having the love of my life caring for each other and have a wonderful bonding after loads of works, there is nothing i can ask more for that. they are my jewels; priceless one. even i have no big cash in my hands, if could have coins in my purse i can use for my daily fare to reach my destination everyday as i went to school, i am so happy for that. having my boyfriend with me always and sharing mutual happiness and understanding, i am happy with that also. there are lots of things to be happy in this world even in simplest virtue, manner and matter. all you need is learn to pacify yourself and appreciate what you have. do not wish for big things for if you fail, you will badly get hurt. give love, live life simply, save coins for tomorrow to obtain genuine happiness. afterall, earth is our temporary shelter. thanks

Hello my friend sukumar794 Ji, Well, happiness ha sdifferent meaning for different people as per their living and brooming atmosphere. But I have some Mantras to share with you to remain happy as below :- [b]SATSANG (a) ”If you can balance /stable your mind, when people around you are in un-balanced , and at the same time blaming you”. (NO-reaction) (b) “If you have belief on yourself, when others have doubt and at the same time, you strongly oppose their belief of their doubt” (c) “If you can wait for Good/Bright days without loosing patience/getting disheartened of waiting”. (d) “Everyone around you is deceiving you , whereas you are not in any way.” (e) “ Every body hates you and you do not, at the same time, you ARE not proud to be ‘good’ and ‘wise’. (f) “ If you Can dream, but do not allow them to overpower you, and you Can ‘think’ but at the same time, do not plunge into dreams of ‘thinking”. (g) “If you can welcome ‘gains’ and ‘defeat’ OR ‘profit’ & ‘loss’ with open hearts and they do not unbalance your mind”. (h) “If you can accept your own words in twisted/mutilated /distorted form, happily by ‘fools’ and they do not involve you in their bad plans”.

(J) “ If you can take one chance to reduce your gains in your life, ‘loose’ or ‘gain’ (like a great gambler) (k)“If you can, after loosing every bit in your life, get ready fresh to obtain the same with total energy from all corners of your body and mind, without uttering a single word even”. (l)“ If you Can compel your heart, mind and limbs, when they are so tired and refuse to accept any thing, except that your ‘belief’ and ‘desire’ to order them that they have to march forward and not falling back”. (m) “ If you can roam in crowds, but do not allow your ‘thoughts’ and ’abilities’ to wander stray, and you live with emperor, but do not neglect common man “. (n) “ If you are unharmed by people loving you and people hating you”. (o)“ If you Can respect everybody within the limits, but at the same time nobody”. (p)“ IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THE UN-EXCUSED MOMENT/SECOND (time) OF YOUR LIFE, AND EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE SAME”.[/b] Then, the whole world belongs to you only and every thing that exists on this, at the same time you fall under the category of ‘ACTUAL HUMAN BEING ’, which is greatest achievement in the life than any thing else”.

hi.. im very happy and contented with my life. i always thank god for the happiness he gave to us.

Happy and content life would be most of us goal and in life and yet we people tend to limit our life of contentment and comfortable once already, people love to say I was born like this and they though live and die like it was to them, but for me or us its was not wrong to be born with disability, poor, and etc.. it will become wrong when we would stay on what we have. Be happy and content to the extent of we do our best to improve and maximize the time God given us in this earth.
