Love, life and happiness

No matter how bad your current situation is there is always something that is beautiful in it. Fact remains bad, good are all the terms that we give to our situations. Life is ever changing, we are ever changing, nothing remains the same. That is the truth, the ultimate truth. We are constantly resisting change, yet the key to living life is to flow like the water, find ways between the crevices, to just keep flowing. 

Searching for happiness, love or peace invites more strife in our lives. Every reality , every fiction, every pain and every joy is deep rooted in our minds. The key is to open up our minds and not only accept our transient nature in this universe but to embrace it with joy. Happiness is now and here, peace is accepting the situation and just having faith. And all this is possible only when we realise that love is the key to living. 

Love is so hard to define. It is not possessing someone's soul, nor somebody's body. It is not being with each other 24/7. Love is all that is good, love is embracing life, being joyful , being thankful. Without love in our hearts we are nothing. Love defines our very existence. 

Love begins with loving ourselves, not in the narcissistic way, but being genuinely thankful for this opportunity to experience life, for our very existence. Loving ourselves ensures that we feel we are blessed, that we lack nothing in our lives. Until and unless we learn to love ourselves and our lives, we will never ever be able to love others. You can only give what you have. Fill yourself with so much of love that it spills over to whoever you meet and whatever you touch. Be so at peace with yourself that only kindness and genuine concern radiate from your whole being. 

Loving oneself is not as easy as it sounds. Most of us are unkind to ourselves, we don't forgive ourselves and our failibbles are easily. Yet the key to living a happy life lies in loving ourselves and although the learning process can be treacherous, it is the only way to really LIVE life.So love your life, and love yourself, for no one else holds the key to your happiness.

The last couple of months have been surreal for most of us - and nightmare to many others. People have lost loved ones, lost their liveliho...
