Ambition versus Happiness!

I know this is a very weird and a controversial topic to pick on, but still I wanted to pin down my thoughts because I have been debating on it within myself for quite sometime now!

As we grow up in life, our much wider thoughts narrow down to having a great job paying us a 7 digit salary and earning more knowledge to widen our chances in today’s industry! For this purpose, we go around the whole world leaving behind our friends and family and drive ourselves into the feeling of loneliness when we really know this is not what we really are! Apart from knowin it, the only reason we put ourself into this complicated position (where neither we are happy nor our family members and frens) is because of that crazy ambition we had in our minds rite from childhood.

Does this ambition bring us real happiness ? The answer may vary from person to person. But whole heartedly, 90% of the people facing this position fake their happiness just to give them inner encouragement to go on with their hell studded life. Just to make themselves feel happier, they go out for parties, mingle with everyone they see, try to find peace in what they do. Why do you think people work so hard day and nite for a project they don kno were its really goin to? Moreover, completely stress out themselves in the name of coding? One for the huge amt of money company is investing on them, two, to make their resume attractive for the next employee, three, to go onsite for the project.

How many times in your life have you thought about the wonderful childhood you had wit ur parents, neighbors and relatives? How much we enjoyed eating our mom’s food, fighting wit our siblings, playing with our frens. Is that called heaven? Now we suffer with no proper food, live with all unknown people, living the toughest life not knowing why.

I don come to say your ambition kills al ur happiness. I jus want to pin point the crazy amount of people who sacrifice their happiness jus to gain money and power. We may love the job but not at the cost of our personal happiness and satisfaction. This will kill ourselves in the course of time.

I personally think we should be happy with what we have and what god has given us. Never try to pursue something others are doing. Live your life as your heart says and make the best out of ur life!!
