The goal of life

Q. What is the goal of life? (mine and/or everybody's)
A. To be happy. To be satisfied.

Q. What is Happiness?
A. That's a tough one, but let me try.

• It is highly subjective and means different things to different people.
• The law of "Diminishing Marginal Utility" is applicable to Happiness as well.
  
• This also means Happiness is a journey and not a destination.

Q. How to be Happy?
A. Well that's even tougher.

• There are certain things which make you feel better. One needs to identify them.
• You need to utilize the available time for what you "Want" to do. Things which will make you feel better.
  
• you need to manage your time to improve
  

1. Your Physical Health
2. Your Financial Wealth
3. Your Relationships with others (Wife, Parents, Kids, Other relatives, Friends, colleagues and strangers)
   
4. Your Spirituality (Mental Health?)
5. The activities of your interest which do not fall in any of the above category
   

• The degree of each constituent mentioned above will be different for each person.
  
• The thing which makes you happy NOW not make you happy again or some other time. So you need variation in life. A routine monotonous life could be boring.
  
• The key is to identify your minimum requirements of health, wealth and so on and work towards achieving them.
  

I am back

After a long gap of 3 years, I am back to blogging.
When I look back I can see that I was quite regular at blogging back in 2005.
I hope to write some good posts in 2009 to.

I don't expect many people to read this blog.
For now this a sand box for me to play around with my writing instincts.
It would be easier for me to share the writings whenever I have to get others' feedback.

So if you happen to follow this blog, thank you and would like to know your comments.
