Goals for a Happy Life

Its been some time that I have been cribbing with my friends across the globe, talking about how stupid life is and can be. There are quite a few people in that category whom I know, and who are as frustrated and as helpless as me. We live only because some strange phenomenon simply forces air into our nose day in and day out.

Today I decide that it is time for yet another change in my life. I bet I still lack the enthusiasm when it calls to take a risk. But this time, I try to act deaf to those crazy voices inside, that scream at me against every move I make. I believe there is a big pessimist hiding behind that man in the mirror, and I hate saying hello to him.

But I also know that behind that very pessimist, there is a good human being standing (or perhaps hiding). And I know that he wishes to do good so that his Creator would not regret having sent him to this beautiful planet.

I had some thoughts today that made me feel better. I thought I would pen them down here, in the hopes that one fine day, some desperate soul might gain some benefits sooner or later.

I am going to talk about how to be Lucky in Life. The easiest (and best) way is to simplify your goals so that you can achieve it. The more detailed (and complex) your goals are, the more difficult it would be to be attain them.

Let me take an example. If I define my goal as "Buying a Mercedez Benz"; I would have to strive endlessly. Given my strengths and limitations it would take atleast a couple of long years of entire savings to even get near my goal. But if I define my goal as "Buying a bicyle", I can accomplish it this very day.

So given the fact that I need to surrender my belongings before ending my mission (on this earth), would it be easier for me to give up a Mercedes or a Bicycle? That makes me ponder, is it even worth to have big goals (like to become a billionaire, or to own ten estate farms, or to visit the moon!

Some such simple goals are
- Be good and do good
- Eradicate sorrow
- Life life as it comes, without worying "too much" about tomorrow or pondering "too much" about yesterday

We all (especially me) spend much time thinking or worrying about situations that might never occur. In the end we forget the little drops of happiness that adorn us. We end up sad, miserable and irritated.

So, from today, I am going to try to follow these goals. Simple and sweet, let me try how easy it actually turns out to be.
