Look inwards for happiness

When we focus on problems, we will have more problems and when we focus on possibilities, we will have more opportunities. Ships do not sink because of the water around it, ship sinks because of the water that gets in to it .So don't let what's happening around us get inside and sink us down .Life is an opportunity-sanctioned by Almighty , as we only have this one life to navigate. The breath coming in and going out to us is the definition of opportunity. Sometimes we needed to be reminded of that to keep our focus clear to remember what is real because we get impressed by money, fame, name, degrees and titles, one should be impressed by kindness, integrity, generosity, humility and humanity.

Nothing in this world is permanent, everything is transient so we don't have to stress ourselves too much because no matter how bad the situation is, it will change.If this life is our story, would not it we want to make sure that is an interesting one to remember? Some people want their story of life to be adventure. They want to climb high mountains or do things that no one has ever done before. But the greatest adventure is to know own self, to know the real us, the one that never change even if your body ages, Have we worked our relationship with ourselves?

Or have we been more concerned with what other people think of us? we worry more about how our neighbours and colleagues see us because we have learned to measure our status, level of success with others estimate .But what really matters to us is- do we feel good, do we feel at ease or not? As at the end of the day, we have some very simple needs and on the top of the list has always been the need to feel contentment, peace. Peace is fundamental human need that needs to be felt from within us.

We spend a lot of time, energy to make sure that our existence is comfortable? In today's time where people are trying to scare and manipulate each other away from peace by using fear, do we realize what fear does to people? Fear takes away the vision of a human being and makes it narrow. It becomes important not to be influenced by that fear because there is something that is so incredible inside each one of us and that is the courage to see beyond that fear, to see beyond that time and to understand that, as human beings, we have the possibility of being able to be in peace.

So we must make conscious choices.Even when we find ourselves in desperate situations ,we still have to make choices ,sometimes that can be hard, but each one of us has a great strength within us, when we do not know about the strength, we search for someone to help us. But there is no need to search outside when we have already had an incredible strength within ourselves .All we need to do is connect with it. When we start making use of our strengths and make conscious choices, it is like lighting a lamp which can fill the life of ours and others with the light of joy and clarity.

In the age we live in, information technology abounds. More people have graduated from universities than everbefore, yet this has not helped us solved the global issues that we are facing and things just seem to get more and more complex. Information and technology are important, but for the essential things in life, we need to know ourselves, we need to feel peace within ourselves ,Real peace does not exist somewhere else, it is inside of us. This is the real navigation of life. We all need to develop our own inner understanding and then do whatever we can to increase the conscious awareness of humanity, so we can come together and tackle the issues that are surrounding us. For solving all complex problems the panacea is travel inwards and not look out wards for solutions.
