"Happiness" - is a familiar word to us, but like getting a coffee from a vending machine after putting a coin inside, it's not something that can be achieved effortlessly. In this world, there are countless people who wish to be happy, but how many among them can truly be happy?? Doesn't seem to be too many. So, are all happy people considered successful in our society?? No, they aren't.
Happiness isn't necessarily proportional to what one possesses. People gathered around a piping hot bowl of homemade food, having conversations with their loved ones at the dining table, can have a higher index of happiness than somebody dining alone in an expensive hotel. People's way of experiencing happiness can be different following how much they value their happiness. One can be comfortable even with a single bowl of morning meal made by their mother and can feel the warmth from a friend who silently lends a shoulder to lean on during difficult times.
Because of my job, I travel to many countries. Languages, cultures, and appearances may vary depending on the regions I go to, but I always find the happiness in the face of a homeless person in front of an Italian Cathedral whereas I also have seen the glistening happiness among the children selling flowers on the scorching streets of India. However, in spite of living in a better state than the people whose lives keep fluctuating, we often struggle to recognize the true happiness that surrounds us. The reason for this is, in a gradually uniforming society, we unintentionally seek happiness in other's expectations and impoverishing our souls with insatiable desires.
I tried to explain diverse experiences I explored including my very own stories through this book so that the happiness can be encountered easily in daily life and practical solutions for various issues can be addressed with a different perspective. This may not be a remarkable book to find happiness, but certainly we can be happy anytime, as long as we set our minds to it. However, due to the lacking of mental leisure and having the vision to see the happiness spread all around me, I haven't been able to do so till now.
If you don't know yet how to enliven your innermost happiness like a Genie in the lamp, you will be able to learn the ways to lead a life full of dreams for a better and happier tomorrow than today by enjoying this book.
Only lifeless fish would depend on the rhythm of the waves. So, you have to strive to discover and safeguard your own happiness. However, no worries! The moment you lay eyes on this book, you've already embarked on an exploration towards happiness. By the time you finish reading it, I am confident that you will undoubtedly feel more joyful than yesterday.
I wish immense happiness for all of you!!
