Observe Yourself…

I looked at money , it made me happy,
I looked at family, it made me happy,
So, what makes me more happy out of these two?
I looked again…
I get disturbed when someone in my family is disturbed,
whereas, I don’t get disturbed when I loose money,
I am not able to work properly when my mom is disturbed,
yet so many times,
I work late for money….
Why? Because I love money,
Does money give me all the satisfaction?
No!…
As I continue to expand my role…
in this world…
I need people around me to be happy,
else I will also be tensed…
if I can have enough money to pay bills and save for future ,
I am happy,
I don’t need money at the cost of my people (my family or colleagues),
But does keeping family and friends happy… and earning enough keeps me happy…
No!
I have to keep my environment happy,
that calls for empathy,
and experiencing how everyone is connected… from within
Will having enough money, satisfactory relationships, taking care of environment … makes me happy,
No!
I have to be happy from within,
How?
True knowledge yield to true happiness…
What is the true knowledge?
This is what I am figuring out,
In the mean time…
I choose to live with Positive attiude,
I choose to take Life as it comes,
I choose to experience Impermanency of everything,
… and my heart dives back into peace,
this peace might be an illusion of momentarily satisfaction,
I don’t know!
yet I choose to remain at peace,
as long as I can remain.
