Take a step closer to happiness
The strength of your happiness is measured by the adverse situations you are in. If everything is smooth, then you giving a big smile is nothing! That smile is worth nothing!
Chennai
There is another Mullah Nasrudin story. He used to grumble all the time. He was a farmer, so he would grumble, “Oh, there is no rain.” He’d say, “Oh, there is no rain, no crops are coming, it’s so difficult.” And that year, there was very good rainfall and he had a great harvest. So people went to greet him. But Mullah had the same long face. He said, “Now with so much of yield, I have to go to market and sell them. It’s a big headache!” He was still grumbling.
It is the same way in your life. You are unhappy about things you have and you are unhappy about things you don’t have. Isn’t it?
Santosha. Develop the habit of being happy. You have to do it. Nothing else can give you that.
Nobody else can do it. If anybody else or anything else does it, it will only be very temporary. You take a step!
