Not everyday do we really realize those pearls of wisdom about life... those that we have heard from so many people so many times, come across in Facebook posts, read in books.. Reading about them is one thing and realizing it by yourself when you are all alone at home staring at the ceiling is totally a different thing. The latter makes you truly understand it. We all search for our purpose in life. We want to be happy and we believe we will be able to achieve that state of 'happiness forever' by doing certain things, that we call as our passion, our dream and so on. 'Happiness is within you'. Not the first time you are hearing this, yeah, I know. It is so relieving when you are finally aware that you are making choices each and every moment. You can choose to be happy or sad or neutral or whatever you want at this moment. Thus you create your life by consciously adding the ingredients you want! It is under your control. Your happiness is not attached to anything external, not to your life partner, not to your parents, not to your friends. None! They share this wonderful journey of life with you. They are not your happiness. Realizing this gives me a sense of freedom, that I am responsible for myself and everything around me and that I have nothing to regret. Well, Solitude is one of the best teachers in life. N'est-ce pas? :)
