Happiness is your choice
Look at your surroundings,
office, streets, meeting rooms... You see faces with sadness, disturbed,
confused, questioning, stressed, depressed, neutral, and so on. Very rarely you
see faces with happiness.
Once it happened in our office meeting
room, one of our colleague entered the room with happiness, suddenly all others
in the team started asking questions like, why are you happy, what happened,
anything special, no work and so on.
I just commented on that; now a
day we commonly see faces with lot of pressure, sadness and stress, we consider
them as normal. If you see any face with happiness, obviously it looks abnormal.
People realized... It was a mixed opinion, still some people felt having sad or
pressurized faces best fits for the office, else we may get more work.
Today you are unable to see happy
faces either in office or outside. Just look at the traffic, most of the faces
looks like a strict police officer or army commandos. Real police officer faces
look little happier compared with corporate employees.
Reason for these unhappy faces are:
1. People are carrying their
problems wherever they go.
2. People carrying work pressure
in their mobiles and mind.
3. People caring their EMIs more
than the bank people.
4. People carrying home issues to
office, and vice versa.
5. People carrying every other disturbance
which are happening near or far.
6. People carrying problems of
medical, financial, professional, and political too.
Happiness is based on your choice/decision, you can be happy or you can
be unhappy.
Materials, things and people are
nothing to do with your happiness. Without them you can be happy, with all of
them you can be unhappy.
Just now, if you want to be happy
you can, if you want to be unhappy, you can. It depends on your thinking and
thoughts.
Unfortunately, most of the time,
80% of the people in the world remember things and situations, that make them
feel bad, sad and suffer. That's why we see very less happy faces or people.
If you think food makes you
happy, visit the countries who are struggling for the food. They are happier
than the people who are having all the food.
If you think material or mansions
make you happy, visit the places where people are living in a streets and huts.
They are happier than the people who are living in a Mansions and Villa's.
If you think girlfriend/wife or
boyfriend/husband makes you happy, look at the people who have them.
Happiness is your choice!
It's good to have some
certificate for happiness. People now a day running behind all certification
course, corporates need to measure happiness rating of a person, before hiring.
Many people intentionally keep
their faces sad, stressed and loaded. Just to show off in office, initially
they start doing that, slowly that will become their permanent face or nature.
Many times, I have been
questioned by my colleagues and cabmets as; it looks like you don't have any
work. Reason is, they have never seen my face with pressure, stress and
sadness. They are wondering by seeing my face, how come you are happy and
energetic. Looks like you don't have anything to do at office. When I show any
of my rewards they were further wondering, how are you getting rewards with no
work. Some of them commented on my manager also; it looks like your manager is
simply giving rewards.
I was just laughing for all the
comments, because I know how committed I'm, in my work and why I get those rewards.
Work has nothing to do with your happiness, you don't need to keep sad face, if
you have more work. I have developed one hobby; i.e. I started living in
present moment. I don't carry forward things, situations and emotions
unnecessarily.
Many people unnecessarily take
tensions and create tensions. They don't know how to be happy. And some stupid
people measure employees by their faces not by their work, that is creating
more worst corporate culture.
This happened in my previous
office, I was in lift, with me there were few co-workers, one person asked
other, how are you? Suddenly the person started looking upside and downside,
questioned himself and said: Umm ahaa I think, umm I guess I'm good... I'm
okay...
Look at the answer, just simple
question is so difficult to answer. Reason; his mind is running with many
things.
If you are living in present
moment you don't need to think and guess to answer the question: how are you?
You all receive certificate for
many things; education, sports, and courses. We don't have culture of
certifying happy person. That must come ASAP, else happiness may eliminate from
mankind.
How about having one monthly survey
for all the employees with below question: Take all the teammates opinion and
consolidate, to measure a persons happiness. (At least have this process in fun event to keep happiness alive)
Again, don't rush to Himalayas to certify as
you are happy. If you learn to be happy here, you can be happy in Himalayas
too, else you will carry all the evils into the Himalayan caves too.
