Play the Happiness Video Game

No No..i am not introducing or launching any new game which talks about happiness. Nor is this a promotion launch for my upcoming book "Happiness Unlimited". This is a happiness video game that we are playing day in and day out. It is just that we are unaware and because of this, we have been losing happiness more often. So, do you know how to win the game of happiness everyday ?


Duck down...move to the left...right...jump..take right..right again...duck down...

My daughter was teaching me how to defend my "life" in one of the video games she asked me to play with her. I was losing my lives till i started to follow her instructions, and learnt to be quick enough to move myself out of the way. Ultimately i was able to finish Round 1 with one life still left. I had learnt to "protect myself" from what was being "thrown to me" by the game. It was all about dodging the objects thrown at me at the right time.

This does not happen only in the video game. We are used to doing this dodging to protect ourselves in our daily lives too. It is a part and parcel of our own nature. Imagine you are driving a car and suddenly see some strange object in the middle of your drive way. The next natural reaction is to protect the object and the car by steering the car in any appropriate direction. This is so natural for us to protect ourselves from anything negative that is thrown at us.

If i were to tell you this fact that Happiness is an attribute of your own soul and resides right inside you. If i were to tell you the truth that you will not realize happiness from anywhere or anything that is outside you. If i were to tell you that this world will throw negative objects at you, and your aim will be to protect your inner happiness, then how will you play this game? 

If someone misbehaves with you - will you try to correct the person for his mistake or will you duck down and let go - and protect your happiness.
If your boss shouts at you - will you feel sad or will you move to the right side quickly enough and let go to protect your happiness
If your new car gets a scratch - will you be aggressive to the person responsible or will you jump up and let go to protect your happiness.
Your peers are moving ahead of you - will you compete with them or will you duck down and let go and protect your happiness.

That's it...Protecting your inner happiness is that simple, if you take it as a video game that starts every day morning and ends every day before you go to bed. You decide whether you want to be a winner every day or you will lose your happiness to the situations, objects and people thrown at you :)

Choice is all yours. Let see from tomorrow how good a player you are? Take up the challenge and win this game to experience Happiness Unlimited.
