Measuring happiness!

What we need for happiness?

Some people says it is just a mode of thinking and so we don't need anything for being happy! Is it true? Can we be happy without even basic things in life like food? This may be true in different perspective that even after having many things you may be unhappy and want more!

In today's world when everyone has problems and MANY things to worry about, one can consider himself very fortunate if below four major categories can be satisfied:

1) Health - Get up little early in the morning to do following instead of just rushing to office:
- Exercise
- Pooja
- Breakfast

2) Money / Security
- Weekends
- Retirement Plan

3) Family
- Time for Family
- Few Friends / Social circle

4) Career
- Decent Work and People
- Not more than 11 hrs (proper sleep)
- Home near to office (no traffic)

If we try to focus too much on only one thing, we can never be happy. All the above four categories are inter related and impact each other very closely. So we should strive balance in life to make it more joyful.
