In Pursuit of Happiness

That is the title of one of my favorite movies. I would love to watch that movie any day any time. All the - painful - incidents around Chris Gardner's life are so heart melting that I go into tears each time I watch the movie. I make it a point to watch it when ever I am down with my confidence. Gardner's life gives me a lot of motivation and energy to get back to work. I am very much in a similar situation and unfortunately at work, so cannot watch it at this moment so thought of writing this out.

While incidents in my life are not as painful as Gardner's, I still feel them painful. Sure, my heart is not as strong as his, I wish it was. For me, it is a game between mind and heart. I feel my mind is strong but heart is weak. One thing I have been working on very seriously in the recent years is to keep myself happy, no matter what. It has not been so easy, honestly. For me to be happy, it is not just me. Things and people around me are very much in it and some affect it. So, for me to be happy, all the time, everyone around me and everything around also must be.. but that is not the reality is. Such conditions never prevail for long. It has been very long that I am in the pursuit of one stupid word in life.. Happiness... it comes, remains for a while and goes off.. may be that is when I would know the importance of being happy :(

I am with a heavy heart now, as I am writing this, I am writing this just to make it lighter... once again.. in pursuit of happiness.. :-)

Good Luck, the readers.. hope happiness hosts you for long and not remains as a guest !!! Cheers !!
