Happyness- A pursuit but at what cost!

You wake up one fine day and realise nothing's the same. All you had dreamed of might come true one day but it only "might". You have no idea what future has in store for you, but this is not what is different about this day. You are worried about your future - that's different. All the efforts that have got us here are asking for the "return on investment". Let's stop to ponder over a small thing. Why are we worried?? As they say -"when time comes , we'll deal with it" but no one really knows the "time". May be the time is now, may be just may be it'll never come.May be you'll survive the day, may be you won't. The only thing we can hope to do is the "right thing" but then who knows what's right and what's not.Only as the future unfolds we'll know what we did some time back was right or not. Life is but a game where you take a lot of chances and hope that you win.Why win? What is it that everyone wants? Happiness.It is a subjective thing. People relate it to different things - money, fame,status,etc etc.Our perception of happiness also changes over time.Probably now you wish for all of the above and that's your definition of happiness but all this comes at a cost. You need to sacrifice one thing for another.You need to decide.

Decision making is probably the toughest thing to do in the world especially when everything in your life depends on one decision.You stand at the crossroads wondering where each road may take you. You try to learn from other people's experiences and act in a way as to emulate all the successful ones but this need not work out. When you were kids how you wished you were older ,now you wish you could stay young forever, that you could hold on to this moment forever, that you never had to make any decisions, times running out, you are getting older , nothing's the same.

I can't breathe. Chills - Up and down my spine.

Right now! This is the time! Make or break!
Confusion is the order of the day.
Living on hope
Hoping to live
waitin to see
see what future has for us
waitin...............
for eventually you'll be happy
for once
all you've done will make sense
for once
you'll be loved by all
For eventually this pursuit will end.

Inspiration : Pursuit of Happyness - the movie.
