I just thought I would write about happiness, as I am following the message that I got from "The Secret" and am going full on. I always liked mind games and thinking up ideas and thoughts. So to try out the secret, is to imagine good things, and that's what I am doing now.
Everyone ultimately aims to be happy in life- be it through getting lots of money, the love of their life or their dream job ... But then it is true we can be happy with even the smallest of things - a smile, a nice thought, a rainfall in summer, seeing a friendly face, hearing a joke, going on a fun ride ... many are the possibilities.
But then I thought, if I enjoy every small thing I do, every small sensation, thought, speech, action - get involved in every moment of life, absorb what I am doing and derive pleasure from what small things I get in life, and be thankful that I am receiving this, I would enjoy my life a lot more. And find a lot more happiness in every small thing.
It is something we may have to take the effort and consciously do when we start out, because many moments when we could be happy are lost when we don't recognize what we are getting. We need to be aware of what we do, what we feel, and then appreciate every small action anyone does for us, every small thing we do that is joyful to us ...
This is obvious if we think how many times someone said something nice and it may not even occur to us to be happy about it, or when we get an act of kindness or love from someone we might be too preoccupied to notice the gesture. We also fail often to notice many of the beautiful things in life which we can be happy if we see. It could be different things for different people - flowers, stars, moon, rain, animals, trees, cars, bikes, babies ... any of this could bring a smile to our lips, if we take notice. So when we say live life to the fullest, it means living every moment. Enjoying every moment and making ourselves happy.
It is always up to us to make ourselves happy. Its how we see things. Its how we chose to feel. So all we have to do is chose to live life and enjoy to the max.

Some thoughts on "The Secret"
"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne is something I am reading right now, and have completed about half of it. It has a real feel good factor about it. Whether you choose to believe or not in what the book states, what it suggests truly would make your life better.
Ok for those who do not have any idea about what this book is about : summarizing the book says that what we think makes our future. If we think of good, good will come to us and on the contrary if we think of bad bad will come to us in life. That is an extremely short summary of the book.
Putting into more frill and fancy as the book does : our thoughts are making our lives and we think our life into existence. And the universe will forge these thoughts into reality. If we think that we will be in debt or we don't want debt(say) both would mean the same - universe would only see "debt" and hence give you debt. If we think money we will get more money. We should believe we already have what we want and it will become reality in our life. We should think happy thoughts and we will be made happy by the universe. In short all our wishes will be true, only if we would dare to wish and believe in the genie which is the universe! Being optimistic is the key!
Anyway I have to say whether all this be true or not, being optimistic definitely makes you happy. And doesnt all people want to be happy? So if one can through reality or imagination be happy that would definitely make his/her life better. So I for one am going to give this secret a shot. I would like to believe in and try it out. If it works for me then - well I am going to be the queen of the universe (:D). He he. Anyway I am sure I am going to be one happy go lucky, cheerful person. So if you guys feel the same, or if you would like to believe in it on your own terms - say spiritual/ religious - what ever the reasons, I personally would say that its cool and should make you a better person. At least you would realize what you want and what would make you happy!

A friend I know from my 12th.
One of the few friends with whom I could talk almost anything with and who understood better than most people my weird flow of thoughts and ideas. We always had a lot to discuss and argue. He tends to be a little chauvinistic, and says that men were designed to be superior to women in the human species and gives multitudes of proof for the same. He kind of gets on my nerves when he does that. Apart from that (irritating topic ... ) we used to discuss a lot of philosophy on a variety of interesting topics ranging from reason for living, meaning of life, is human species superior to the rest of the species, does aliens exist, and many more (many topics lead to heated discussions and it was really great having someone who is in the same frequency as you are).
He is also one of the most sincere , true and genuine person I have met. He is someone who values relationships a lot. There are two things he values most in life : The important people in his life and his bike. He is very caring, understanding and a good listener. He has been my refuge countless times when I was confused and troubled and wanted to pour my heart out. He has also given me countless advice which I heed to sometimes and sometimes not. And I have thought at times that I should have listened to him when I hadn't and ended up in trouble as he said I would.
He is a very special friend to me and I would do my best to help him in every way I can. His friendship is priceless to me because there are few friends who touch your heart and for whom you feel that you would do anything. So I will say that I am lucky to have known him and to be his friend.
