Happiness in my point of view is not any destination or achievement but its all about the lives journey itself. There is a famous saying

“life is 1 percent what you make it and 99 percent how you take it ”
Its truly about perception. A positive way of taking things along with least expectation from the world around can keep your “Happy gene” active.

I remember a story of a 70 year old business man whose factory caught fire due to some accident. When the news was delivered to him, the old man started smiling.

“Have you gone Insane. Your Factory is in fire and you are smiling” someone asked.
” At the age of 70 god wants me to start fresh, I am thankful that he never let me feel old” The old man replied..still smiling 🙂
