How Can I be happy all the time?

Happily, ever after.

I am sure everyone wants to be happy all the time. If possible. And If I know it's my duty to tell you exactly How. I have been searching for the fountain of happiness just like you. Remember the times when we watched the movies, when the princess and prince Kissed and lived "Happily ever after". But nobody showed the movie beyond the kiss and the marriage. Not until recently. Nobody showed a fairy tale of a "Divorce" or a "serious illness like a Cancer. That was not for children. So, you know what happened? I tumbled across problem after problem and wonder where the "happily ever after is gone". I am not talking about financial troubles and relationship problems. Even getting out of bed and going to work feels like cancer sometimes. Hopefully latter is far away in the future.

Happily Ever After

I am sure this is your problem too. Not exactly the same but a different version of it. No need, I am not going to ask what it is. But as you can see both of us are looking for the same thing. The Peace of mind from the chaos.

The struggle of life.

Have you tried to meditate lately. That is f*****g hard. What was wonderful about it was that I noticed I had two legs. And they could not stay at a one place. When I crossed them, they wanted to be straight. When I straightened them, they wanted to be crossed or on side. It was a struggle with the legs. Mind you I still do have my hands too, and ears, and eyes and the Back. Oh. the hurting co-operate crushed back of mine was the most troublesome. I was looking for peace by doing meditation, but that itself started to become a struggle on its own. On a different frequency. Have you noticed this phenomenon in your life? Whenever you try to solve a problem, it becomes a problem itself. Should I not go on searching for answers? Should I give up searching for solutions to the permanent happiness question? If I cannot be happy sitting by myself, I am sure nothing I can buy from a shop will make me happy. The experience itself seems to be temporary.

Struggle of other lives.

I see this phenomenon happen all around me. Drivers struggle to drive. Teachers struggle to teach. Kids struggle to learn. Doctors struggle to heal while patients struggle to be healthy. Farmers Struggle to make crops, while shop owners struggle to sell goods. Co-operate owners try to increase the value of their equity, while writers struggle with words to come up with a good novel. Struggle seems to be the cornerstone of life. While some people struggle good, some people struggle bad. Maybe they do not realize, there is no "Non struggle life". In other words, it is a hell of a responsibility to be yourself. But answer to the forever happiness remains hidden inside the question itself. I will take you to a memory from my childhood to show you that.

Life is a no Knot.

I remember when I was a kid, I use to race to the school with my brother. There were 100 stairs to the top. My brother was a couple years elder than me. So, obviously he was faster and if there was a race he would always win. So, I did not want to race. It made me sad that I could never win against him. But he would not stop. The moment he stepped on the first step he would start an "Imaginary race" and hurry up to the top. And smile like a winner. I couldn't get over it. I cannot remember whether I cried. I didn't even race it was just an imaginary game that he invented, but I became a loser. I felt sad over nothing. Now after so many imaginary races, I have realized how stupid I was in the past. There is no real race in life. Life is a no Knot.

Just be happy where-ever you are the Solution

How can I be happy all the time? The solution.

If you want to be happy all the time in life you have to "Step out of the Game" altogether, like Naval Ravikant says it. Not because you're afraid of losing. But because all the games we play in life are imaginary. Including the wealth and success game. I am not sure how to convince you of this as tomorrow when someone offers you a million dollars You would take the bait and cry like I did when I was a kid when you lose it. But I can just remind you everyone loses everything at the end of life. Not because they achieved anything in life. But what they achieved had no meaning in the first place. Once you understand this as a fact and contemplate enough with your own experience, there you will find a place for permanent happiness that you can smile at the sun, or a leaf or a tree, or spilled milk and a million dollars lost in a crypto crash.
