“Over the years, I’ve given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started”. Most of us have this feeling concealed inside haunting the moments of our eventual happiness. But do we know what satisfaction is? Simply the Fulfillment of one’s wishes, expectations, or needs! But of course it’s not that easy, here we some knowledgeable humans are running after something we never know. We are knowledgeable in a sense we have the blessings in shape of understanding and moreover we are thoughtful, but the ignorance of our own souls is showing us the way to the frustration and a reward less never ending struggles.
What can make one happy and satisfied; the standards are as much multiple as the peoples, except the common nature of human souls. The matter of contentment or fulfillment belongs to our particularly set ideals. This idealistic world disrupts our visions and sometimes we look for something else rather than particular one we really need, our minds become overwhelmed by the glaring vanity of the life.
The secret of a happy living never lies in accumulating materialistic success as we cannot buy a machine to make our gesture smiling, I faith that a pure smile really belongs to the heart and souls so it belongs to the purity of scruples in every aspect. I noticed many times in elders conversations that our early generations were living a contented life they were satisfied mostly and were grateful to Almighty all the time, they used to spend time together sharing and imparting their “dukh sukh” they feel sympathetically for others here the purity reflects that makes the souls happy.
Another attribute of the internal feeling of relaxation demands a burden free inner. We should keep our selves relax by making us free from the liabilities of all the due responsibilities. Outstanding duties mostly hampered on the souls and somewhere to some extent irritating. Being honest is the only solution to get released; one may feel comfortable if his/her heart is light without extra load of anything owed to pay. In this context we can also carry ourselves well with our good and sensitive relationships.
Human being is a complex natured creature; there are no limits for any ones to be happy finally after getting this and that in life but limits should be set to suit any one’s own unique requirements. Standards should be made that where to halt the struggle.
As the souls belong to The Creator so the strong trust in Him leave them with fewer worries and free of extra loads of stress even in the critical situations of the life when we humans are helpless. Being helpless is not the thing to be worried upon but this is a blessing that where our limits remind us that there is one Who has the final authority so never give up wait for the right time.
Another aspect of being satisfied is attached with the gratification of our cravings, there is need to halt the race of desires somewhere inside us, if our focus is not centered on the real needs and we don’t understand the value of the compromises and recompense, it leads towards the eternal disappointment.
