Secret to Happiness

Some very foreign feelings are taking hold of my brain these days. Its good and weird at the same time. Good because it feels i'm happy, but weird because its all alien. It's like a new birth. Its like i'm being happy for the first time in my life. And i don't understand how to handle it.

I'm getting a feeling, again, that success is highly overrated. Success at anything. When you reach the top, you don't get the feeling you imagined having when you were plannin getting to the top. On the other hand, if you fall upon lady luck and get successful unexpectedly, you would perhaps get the feeling you'd probably plan for. A feeling of pure elation and pride and happiness and contentment. This perhaps is the only reason why most people like surprises. And this perhaps is the only reason why people on a subconscious level want to go where life leads them, not plan the whole path.

What's the point ?? The point is that the most divine feelings are often unplanned for. You never get what you expect, hence the never ending quest for perfection, hoping that someday you'd be happy. The secret is not expecting anything. Then even the smallest of things will seem the best things in this world.

That is what i believe the secret to happiness. Pretty lame, huh ?
