My Reality Of Happiness


 Happiness going by the words of the dictionary is the quality or state of being happy. But happiness to me is the process of finding small little joys in everyday life, not just a smile or joke. I am sure each one of us rejoices when she or he is given a lovely surprise, or their favorite dress or dish or something like that, but wait, is it all that gives us happiness?? I don't think so. there are so many tiny things that make us happy but we never think of adding them to our feel happy list.
There a lot of things that give me happiness and cheer me up. Many. I dont really know how I am going to put them all in words. They are just like the stars in the sky, tiny yet innumerable.
I feel happy when I see people running around and playing. I feel happy when I see a child trying to walk even though she might have fallen several times. I feel delighted when I see my friends playing my favorite games. I am cheerful happy when a good match is going on, I don't care if my favourite player is losing but  I do care for the quality of sport that she or he is playing. I feel happy when I see people laughing and smiling. I feel happy when someone puts forth their views about something.
I feel happy when I see my friends doing well at their tests and exams. I feel spirited when I spend time with my loved ones. I feel happy when my friends are able to achieve their goals through hard-work. I feel happy when I am able to help the underprivileged and bring a smile on their faces. I feel happy when I see a poor kid seeing big dreams.

 I do not know why people don't like to spend any time on their own, I love it. I love it when I am able to spend time with only myself. It gives me happiness. I feel happy when I am with Nature too, be it in my garden or in a park, or when I am on a vacation, or in the middle of a vast stretch of trees. I rejoice when the air gently touches me, and makes me feel as if the trees want to say something to me. I rejoice when I am able to feel the coolness of water on myself and also when the flames of the fire light up a dark place and fill it up with a wonderful light.
 Happiness is not the absence of troubles but the ability to deal with them cheerfully. Happiness too is subject to changes but what ever may happen I will always try and find happiness in everything that I go through.
