Hey reader,
It’s 4th of February, and the weather is absolute perfect, neither too hot nor too cold, cool breezes in the bright sunny day just makes the perfect balance. “Balance”, something which is important everywhere, be it the weather or spices in food or in daily life. Work hard but make time for yourself too, something which I realised when my senior colleague explained me the importance of Work-Life balance.
“Its all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between Work and Family and Friends.”
Philip Green
It was good to see how people have been loyal with themselves while reading last post with many not reading it because they didn’t complete the “Know Yourself” task from the first post. It’s better late than never. Just do it and I can guarantee you will be amazed. Some applause for the people who at-least gave it a try but didn’t succeed. Hope you remember your promises made to yourself and will do it this time. I know, there are many who haven’t done it but read ahead. As I always say, its always your own choice to make a difference or not. Other, including me, can only say things.
The amazing person is amazing as always, and now finally know who is that amazing person I talk about, though you still don’t know a lot. (*wink*) And the mystery continues!
I was talking about the “Happiness” in my last post. I talked about the people who look for Happiness in Career. Now, the people who look for Happiness in person.

People are important. No doubt! Remember the superset and subsets Family, Friends and Colleagues and Loved Ones I talked about in my first post! They all are important, but do you need to depend for your happiness on them?
Let me take my own example here, I did run after some people and still do sometimes believing that talking to them will make me happy. We all have some people in our life to whom we feel so comfortable and happy in talking that it just feels perfect and we believe that it will stay same forever. And then there comes a day, when you get the first feeling of void in between. Now this is the point, which either could make the bonding more stronger or just make the void stronger and bigger.
Fortunately, in my case it was void that grew stronger, twice, and yes fortunately.
It is important to notice, that both of two person are responsible for either making it a stronger bond or stronger void. When the two meet, talk with the open mind and without any second thoughts, understand each other doubts and act to make it stronger bond, then only it will go longer, otherwise, options are enormous.

Honestly, I’m glad, and in fact everyone should, that I met everyone in my life. The good and the Bad! The Good make me thankful, the Bad make me learn my lesson. So in my view, it’s not wrong to look for Happiness in person but totally depending on them for Happiness is wrong.
Happiness in Money! We all would have seen this incident at some point in our life:
“Watching people fighting or crying in luxury cars and kids laughing while playing with a tyre tube in slums or roads!”
Money can’t buy us happiness but it can buy happiness for the ones we love and care. Money can’t buy you memories but it can help us in creating moments. Money can’t give us good health, but it can help us buy some good healthcare facilities. So, money can’t give you happiness alone but it can help you to make yourself and your loved ones Happy.

I have come across many people, who live in the moment and just make the best out of them. It’s actually awesome feeling having someone like this around. You can just feel the energy in that moment. These are the people who believe happiness is in the moments, and I personally love these type of people. These are the ones who inspire me.
A moment can be good, awful, worse or boring or super-exciting like India winning World Cup! But it’s actually upon us how we take that very moment and transform into a beautiful memory.

Richard Bach
I believe, happiness is in only one thing. Happiness is in ME. Yes, in ME. Happiness is loving how I look. Happiness is in loving what I do. Happiness is in believing what I am, who I am and who I want to be. Real happiness doesn’t depends on any temporary source like Career, Person, Money or a mere Moment. Yes, I called temporary sources and No, I am not conflicting with what I said about each of them earlier. For me, happiness is in playing music (not depends on career, person, money or moment), happiness is in talking here (not depends on career, person, money or moment) and happiness is in how I live my life. Remember, one thing, nothing is perfect and will never be. We will face hard times, fake people, broken finances and terrible moments. But should we let them make us unhappy? Well I won’t. Will you? Think about it!

I gave you all a task in my last post, to do something you have been procrastinating, fearing to do or telling someone how much you love them. I asked you all to write your experience. The reason I asked you to write is, this piece of paper will remind you, to go ahead and Do It rather than Hold It. I also performed the task and recorded a new piano cover and uploaded on Soundcloud (KeysOfOrigin).
Let me share my experience and what I wrote (Yes, I did write it, and it’s actually going so good):
“Navneet, it took 90 minutes effort to record the new song cover and share, which is one of your best works and show your improvement. You were in awful mood and health before doing it and walking away with a big smile of accomplishment. This will go even more far ahead than you previous works. Keep believing in you and keep doing this more often!”
I have one more task, yes again! You have to do something for your loved ones. They can be family, friends or gf/bf. Any one thing that you think will make them happy. It can be cooking for the family, surprising friends with a tiny treat or impromptu call/meet, or anything.
Have you ever been in a situation when you are in dual mind? Whether to tell someone something or not? Should I do it or not? Should I ask it or not?
You know what I am going to do! See you in the next post.
