After years of hard & dedicated service to his
Company, Rajan was being appointed at an elegant reception as the new
Director.
It was a small function where his wife Indu , a Home
Executive & some of the wives of the other persons in top management were
also present.
In an adjacent room, Ann, the wife of the CEO
of the Company, asked Rajan's wife a very odd & usual question; "Does
your husband make you happy?"
The husband, Rajan, who at that moment was not
at her side, but was sufficiently near to hear the question, paid attention to
the conversation, sitting up slightly, feeling secure, even filling his chest
lightly in pride & hope, would definitely not publicly lower or
degrade her husband, would answer affirmatively, since she had always been
there for him during their marriage and generally in life.
Nevertheless, to both his & the others' surprise,
she replied simply; "No, no he doesn't make me happy…"
The room became uncomfortably silent, as if everyone
were listening to the spouse's response. There was a sudden coldness in the
air. The husband was petrified. A frown appeared on his face.
He couldn't believe what his wife was saying,
especially at such an important occasion for him. To the amazement of her
husband & of everyone!
Indu sat up firmly & explained in a modest
but stern tone to the other wives who were present;
"No, he doesn't make me happy… I AM HAPPY. The
fact that I am happy or not doesn't depend on him, but on me. GOD has granted
each of us intellect & discretion to reason, interpret & decide. GOD
made me the person upon which my happiness depends.
I make the choice to be happy in each situation &
in each moment of my life.
If my happiness were to depend on other people, on
other things or circumstances on the face of this earth, I would be in serious
trouble!
Over my life I have learned a couple of things: I
decide to be happy & the rest is a matter of 'experiences or circumstances'
like helping, understanding, accepting, listening, consoling & with my
spouse, I have lived & practiced this many times.
Honestly true happiness lies in being content"
Relieved & reassured, a smile was clearly
noticed on Rahul's face.
Happiness will always be found in contentment,
forgiveness & in loving ourselves & others.
To truly love is difficult, it is to forgive
unconditionally, to live, to take the "experiences
or circumstances" as they are, facing them together & being happy
with conviction.
There are those who say I cannot be
happy :
· Because I am sick.
· Because I have no money.
· Because it's too cold.
· Because they insulted me.
· Because someone stopped loving me.
· Because someone didn't appreciate me.
But what they don't know is that they can be happy
even though sick, whether it is too hot, whether they have money or not,
whether someone has insulted them, or someone didn't love or hasn't valued
them.
Being Happy is an attitude about life &
each one of us must decide!
Being Happy, depends on
us!
It
Depends on Me.
I fall. I rise. I make mistakes. I live. I learn.
I've been hurt but I'm alive. I'm human. I'm not perfect but I'm Thankful.
Worth reading for everyone specially ladies. So
ladies always be happy so ur power will be double
