Where to find Happiness ?

He went Through all the tough times alone, and yet he never speak in volumes, the tough spirit; the grit he showed while managing daily family needs brought him the scars, he hardly ever forget, although he was fighting without much  needed support he never complained about it, I was accompanying him few years back when we were going for mining luck in a contest that ask for hefty money to throw ring on presents, he won that one particular day not the prize, not the pride, but he told me he won, ironically he lost whatever he earned that particular day (he was a labour, working on daily basis on the nearby construction site), he was smiling with a satisfactory smile, I didn't ask him the reason behind it, and he didn't tell me anything else, he just smiled relentlessly and we walked the rest of road silently. 

I was reading 'THE PILGRIMAGE' book few weeks ago and after reading half of the book, a thought took over my mind, like why the writer was even choosing a journey that was costing him his peak day of his career, did that move even make sense?, despite all these doubts, I enjoyed the quest that was going Nowhere, It might be surprising to know when the book will reach to it's conclusion (this is the reason, why paolo coelho is known for giving perfect touch to many of his imperfect stories, imperfect things often sounds more humanely; isn't it?) 

Hapiness is more like a journey rather than being a state. 

I choose Happiness and that's the way it is, many people who follow this philosophy often forget that, on the journey of finding happiness if that comes anyway from your ability to make it a choice and you are not interested to find it in any other sort of way, you will still ended up being a sophisticated happy person, but this will again raise a question, when you grew old, when you lack energy to enhance your brain activity to ask for that drip of 'serotonin' that allow you to be happy on the 'choice' based system, all I am trying to say that of course happiness is more often a case of choice, because world is full of degenerate materialistic things and we got very little time to overcome many problems that lie ahead of us, but on the top of that one should also not forget that the grieves and obstacles that we faced when we start quest for finding happiness also equally important.

happiness being a state of mind is okay (when we make it a choice) but I found it more meaningful when I imagine happiness being a Dynamic process that allow us to explore deeper understanding of retaining it's essence in our mind that made long lasting imprints in our memories that we simply carry till we reach to limits of mortality. 

With that said remember; to stay happy and also stay hydrated ;)
