It’s When You Lose Yourself That You Find Happiness

Remember the last time you were awed by a beautiful scenery?  It could have been a mighty river, a vast desert, or a large expanse of majestic mountains.  Feel it.  How was it like to be there?

Felt like heaven didn’t it? You were so enthralled by the beauty of nature that you forgot all about your worries and concerns about yourself. For just a moment, you were not self-conscious. You didn’t care about your ego or about any of your insecurities. You have lost yourself in the beauty of the moment, and in that moment, you found joy once again.

Think of many other such moments. Like when you heard someone play the violin so beautifully, or when you gazed enraptured at your beloved’s eyes. Think about carrying a newborn baby in your arms and seeing her innocent smile. Weren’t you filled with happiness?

We can be so caught up in trying to improve our looks, our status, and our possessions that we fail to open our eyes on other things and really look. We can be so caught up in ourselves that we fail to hear other people, we fail to see them and to love those whom we see.

Forget your worries for a while. Look. See the beauty around you. Many times, it is when we forget ourselves that we do gain the happiness we’ve been searching all along.
