Being happy

Being happy is very important for us. This is because its our natural state. But still most of us are totally bereft of happiness. In all our lives all our efforts are to achieve happiness but we never achieve it. The most common reason for it is that whatever we do is counter-productive to our aim for happiness. We mostly have a misplaced belief that the happiness is somewhere outside. We generally seek happiness in an external object or state, but always fail to realise true happiness. We fail to realise that the source of happiness is in ourselves. To be happy we have to just commit to ourselves that we are going to be happy and remain happy. Basically we have to wish happiness to our selves. We have to know that to be happy we don't have to take away something from someone. As to be happy is our natural state and right of every being. Also while being happy ourselves we wish others also the same happiness despite our relations with that being. :-)
