What Does Happiness Mean ??

Sitting idle on the floor, I wonder what is it? Every one is looking for.

There is an open world around, it’s only that our mind has closed eye's door.
Heart says you have so much, mind says just some more.

We are in a country with season’s great, but still when one comes, for another we wait.
We let pass present thinking of past and for future we wait, by the time we realize this there is nothing left in our hand it’s already too late.

Foreseeing years to come, we forget todays date.
Looking for what others have, we have ignored our on plate.
Rather than thanking God for what we have, cribbing for what we don’t becomes our trait.

World runs behind that single word ‘Happiness ’

How do we define happiness is our fate, for it can be as simple as we want or as difficult as our own minds state.

Ask the hungry, food is his happiness. Ask the thirsty, water is his. To the homeless shelter is bliss.
To the lonely child, parents kiss, job to an unemployed, hope to a destroyed, dream to a sleepless, new chance to a hopeless.

Partner too alone, there is nothing to morn. For ‘one’ is in everyone.
Few are your friends; they help you set new trends.
Rest is your family, with whom you live happily.

In office your colleagues, keep spirits high for the competition that retreats.
Just live that positive attitude, every difficulty it beats.

Have we ever satisfied our mind with our own deeds? Then why blame others for the expectations they couldn’t meet.

We are happy today as we have always been, for at one point or other we have lived most of we have wanted, our only mistake is, all we have is always taken for granted.

If we keep looking higher without ever looking straight, we would keep wandering behind closed doors, and miss the open gate.
