Happiness never arrived


Happiness never arrived even after

i got all that i yearned for as a kid

i realized i have the best parents and family ever

i completed the herculean task of getting a college degree

i found the perfect job

i found my soulmate

i got my huge bonus check

i got the best of friends

i found my Guru

i got to do what i love and quit my job

i successfully started companies

i successfully sold a startup

i drove my dream car

happiness never ever arrived!

because, Real Happiness is never outside…

The mere realization that happiness is total acceptance and gratitude for what is… this moment….

makes me happy… and i never found myself waiting for happiness to arrive… Because, Happiness is… Happiness IS!
