On the other day, I was reading sunday TOI as I do every week end and came across an interesting article in LIFE. Life is a supplement which comes on every sunday. It portrays philosophy in a decent way. If you are really philosophical or spiritual, I suggest you to go through it. Coming to the point…………….The article I was talking about gave a beautiful line which made me write this blog. The line goes like this …”The state of anticipation gives you more happiness than actual realization” Is it not true???

I am very fond of boarding a flight and I want just experience it once. I am more happy dreaming about it before its actually realized. But once I boarded once and was very happy ofcourse. From then onward the thought of it completely vanished and it was not there at all. But compared to the actual realization, anticipating that thing made me more happy. So the anticipation can be anything…..be it a crush on a pretty girl, be it a desire to climb ur job ladder, be you owning a car, getting married………………Another example is that I am very fond of learning and driving car. I would actually enjoy If I see somebody driving a swanky car on the road. I am so happy that I wish that I love to do on some day. But recently I have learned car driving and drove one of my frds car. The happiness which was before has gone. I am just ignoring whatever car I see on the road. In some sense its sometimes good if you are out of something than in it. In fact, the anxiety and curiosity that makes you very happy. When the thing is actually realised, the joy is actually disappeared. So be aware of the things that are making you feel happy. So dont get upset if you dont get what you anticipate. The ultimate happiness is in anticipation. Did you not experience this? I say, the happiness is in actual journey not in reaching or accomplishing goal. I am not contradicting anything here. If you desire for anything, its not wrong at all. But in case if you dont get it, just enjoy the thought of anticipation. Sounding stupid…..ignore it…I was expressing my comments on that article which are factually real. I may not express the real sense due to my poor expressive skills. But readers….you are smart , you might have got the essence.
