HAVE YOU SEARCHED FOR HAPPINESS?

I HAVE. For years I searched for it in vain?.

I looked for it in materialistic possessions - own house, a car, jewellery....

But the joy was short lived.

I ended up feeling restless and empty from inside.

I was determined to find this happiness! I enrolled myself into spiritual workshops.

But no....in vain

Around this time I came across Gautam Buddha's quote ' when wishes are few, the heart is happy'.

It was then I realized that you cannot find happiness outside or in material gains.

You have to look inside.

Friends, being happy does not mean everything is perfect. It means you decided to look beyond the imperfections!!!
