As kids we start running behind things that make us happy. When we were younger we knew what would make us happy. It was small things like a ice cream, or a candy bar or a bicycle. As we grew up the things we want became bigger. And after a certain point of time we never knew what would make us happy. Some think a lot of money would make them happy, some run behind their career, some just run around everything. We buy a illusion of happiness sold by our friend, family member or someone we know. We try to run behind that illusion and assume that we would be happy once we get it.

As the american constitution rightly puts we are all in "pursuit of happiness". We always measure our happiness by amount of something that we gain. Be it recognition, money, wealth, accolades it is always something that comes in. When would we learn to be just happy for ourselves. Just be happy for this very moment we have. Just to enjoy the fact that we are alive and we are part of a miracle called life. It takes vision and strong judgement to come out of human emotions to go behind things that matters.

We spend a lot of time to learn about technologies, trends, stocks, buisinesses, daily news. It never occurs to us that we do not know what we are. The puzzle is right infront of us and we never enquire about it. Would there be a more happier event in our lives than to know what we are. How did we originate, what are we supposed to do.

In ancient times philosophers and sages did ponder about it a lot. But now it seems like humanity has given up that search. We are ready to take the ride where it goes. We comfortably take the option that we were created by god and he is taking care of us. Not a bad hypothesis untill we discover the truth.

I as a person would consider this life lived to the full on the day I discover the answer the question "who i am". Becuase that is the day I would know that a billion dollars is not going to make me happy. Some people struggle all their youth and become millionaires in search of happiness. Then they give away all that money and go in search of happiness. It is upto you which path you would like to take.

Be happy and make money. Or just make money and never be happy.
