She could be any one amongst us – she is my friend - she has the perfect life when seen from a distance – in every way – but she is not happy – like most of us. She does not know why – she has no major troubles – no issues – but something is amiss - however hard she tries, she is not able to find her exact problem. My recent conversations with her got me thinking - do we sometimes search for happiness in the wrong places – do we always have to search for happiness – should we be more busy creating reasons to smile rather than wondering why there are not enough reasons. Way back in school, I got a gift – it was a wooden plaque which had these words engraved on it – "Happiness is not about having everything – it is about enjoying everything we have". True – simple lessons in life are maybe meant to be the easiest to forget and the most difficult to recollect – else we would be in a perfect world and life just might be boring.

Your comment is confusing as always! :-) But well I knew whom were you referring to here.

Searching for happiness makes people unhappy. being happy or unhappy is totally depends on ourself. There is nothing like "searching for happiness". its just a feeling. if u think u r happy , den u ll feel happy. :)
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us" - Helen Keller
@anonymous: Well said but the fact remains that it's easier said than done :)Creating your own happiness is sometimes the most difficult thing 2 do :) For now, I ll just chillax n have a kappi :)
haan, i know .. its easy to say than doing it. but u know its just an extra effort... its common tendency dat ppl wil try up to some point and they ll loose hopes, when actually just 1% of extra effort is required.
u knw, that 1% of extra effort (in any situation) decides if u r ordinary or extraordinary..
this is the fact !!!
