In the treacherous ruffle of thought and the unsettling visions that dwell within the mind, the foundation of all displeasure lies in the basic crave for staying happy. And amidst the frantic search for peace and happiness, we often skip the most important part that is solely enough to provide us what we long for. Happiness and Me are synonymous. unfortunately we look past ourselves, or to be more precise when we seek it, we don't count ourselves in. Be it seeking peace from material possessions to relying on the emotions of someone dear or even the sight of a loved one or a loved dream; we Do skip the Me from all of the search. To my bewilderment and to everyone's when they do come to realise it, the happiness dwells in the individual, the Me more than the search for the Who Else. A mongrel searching for his morsel spends the hours of the day beaten by the heat or all curled up i the cold seeking an end to his hunger. But unfortunately, it is the very person who moves and finds the food but for a meagre quantity. If only,He Seeks a higher dream. But it is natural for a struggling soul to get bogged down by his own expectations. Seeking happiness in others and hoping someone else finds it for Us or building the pillars of emotions which is the fruit of sweat of not Me may collapse easily around us with us being either silent Victims or the more heroic ones coming out bruised. Some recover from their bruises only to lose their senses of the intricacies of Happiness forever or some are crippled.The crippled ones go back to building one after another do away structures of pseudo Happiness. And the Heroic ones quell their mind and heart into not believing the most basic fabric of life-Happiness. Happiness is not commodity.Happiness is more than the search.its the Realisation.Happiness is not about achieving.Its about Believing.And Happiness is like Love.More than getting its about Giving Back. The Quest for Happiness is a meaningless search in the deep forests only to find yourself moving in circles. It is that worthwhile seeker who searches for thy hand when it is happily a part of His own.

But not all lie in peace. Not all rest when they all cuddle in their comfort zones. Comfort is the price of a rested mind. And a calm Heart. But isn't that what We all desire. Not everytime. And rightly so ! Because the wheel of progress both material and spiritual stops ! We Seek. Either Happiness at our current levels or at another. And we need to move to seek at a higher level. So , there are beings who strive for success and more hard work which results in more success.Success is not entirely materialistic. It brings forth new avenues and exposes doors to the human race that never opened. And then we have followers of success seeking their own goals at a higher level. This is bound to bring in the path of the leader, countless thorns and obstacles and maybe He may have to get rid of them alone or with some help from a Higher power. His success as is synonymous with lots of other ones is epitome to the fact that the Success is also a result of that Higher power and certified. Greatness is just a term used by the masses. This quest for "" Greatness "" is not a all calm but a journey through the stormy seas. And hence, The Mind and Soul is at War. A War that is sometimes necessary in real world too to weed out parasites and the sick agents. This Seeker is thus called a Great Soul. And He seldom rests. And Rightly so.
So , as I have always believed.The Juice should always be Worth the Squeeze. And You are here to Achieve Happiness or Achieve Greatness
