Its all about happiness..

Its all about Happiness..
                              paul vattikuti
One day I asked some of my students the definition of happiness. One of them said that being happy means to express joy or emotions in a state of well being .The other said that it is a  state of well being characterised by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.One said it is felicity .
I agreed to their answers but it did not satisfy .I do not accuse them ,for they spoke what they had been taught and what they had learn. Wanting to make them understand the meaning of happiness I called four students on the stage. I asked them to speak of the moment when they are very happy .
One of the four said that ,"I am happy when everything sets according to the preplaned way"
The second one said that,"I am very happy when I see my girlfriend"huh..He must be kidding.
The third one said that,"I am happy when I Conquer things or war by defeating others"
The last one said that,"I am happy when I get what I want"
I again asked the students the same question.,"What happiness meant"?
They had the same definition of it.
I asked the students that what did they hear in common from the sentences that the four students spoke. They responded that it was the word,"Happiness".
Smiling at them I said No.It wasn't happiness but it was the word ,"I".
Yes it was happiness also but happiness is not when you feel good by defeating others.But in true sense we are happy when someone smiles because of me,when someone's pain unloads by some amount because I share some tears with that person,when I give someone who is in need and not who wants it.
My dear children,we have forgotten the meaning of happiness.The world rejoices when I fall .But when someone will come to pick me up from the pit cleanse my clothes and say ,"hope you dint get hurt, don't worry about the world ,it rejoices in someone's downfall but am with you"
That moment gives me happiness.So start looking for happiness in someone's else joy.Stop living for yourself and start living for others.Because its all about happiness...

THOUGHT

Is Your GOAL Greater than the NEED that made you Desire it ! We Strive to achieve our Goals. We also wish to help the poor once our goals are fulfilled ! But in this long run we ask GOD to bless us so that we can help others too .And that's good. But sometimes we as humans have a selfish motive behind asking for things. We tend to say sometimes with selfish motives that,"GOD, give me Money so that i can help the poor".Pray to GOD " Give me a heart/desire to serve before the resources to fulfill" Be selfless. Dont do deeds for getting some kind of reward (GOAL- Some kind of reward; PURPOSE- Your heart's desire to do it ) God bless you.

My Omnipresent God

It was Sunday morning as I paced up through the corridor of my house ,holding my guitar and trying to keep my untied shoe lace from getting tangled. "How come I got up late! Why did I consent the nap to have my time." As I walked through the road, I started pondering on my behaviour. I mean how could I...its not about today...but from past few Sundays am allowing my sleep to have extra time and I end up being late at the church! Its my responsibility to lead the choir! When the pastor preaches the sermon ,I get distracted and start wandering in my thoughts and I don't even bother to shift my attention back! I resent this behaviour of mine! " I came from the church not as happy and satisfied as I would come back when I started knowing God deeply! I was going through a lot..i don't know what was wrong with me ! Was I missing someone? Huh... I started worrying when a drop of tear filled my eyes . And the fact is I did not know why was I crying. I ended up ...

The Colour of Love- paul vattikuti

"And now these three remain:faith,hope and love.But the greatest of these is Love.- 1 Corinthians 13:13 It was yet another monotonous start for Alex to start his Monday evening ride ,as he got himself ready to pick up his 8 years old daughter back home. Alex parked the car near the portico of the school and awaited for his sweet little daughter to arrive.Whole day workout was a huge toll on Alex.But his daughter's smile was a remedy for him to be cheerful again. But this evening was unusual, Usually he would see his daughter Hannah wear a smile on her face as she would rush to her dad for a hug.This evening seemed exotic to him.Hannah slapped her best friend infront of Alex's eyes and immediately rushed to the car.Alex could hear the banging of the car door which expressed her anger. Alex drove all the way to home without uttering a word.Hannah was clearly obsessed about something.They came home. The whole family met at dinner table for supper.Alex asked Hannah ,"Wha...
