Happiness is just the transition.

Question from my friend:
Dear Durgesh,
I don’t feel happy….
I got 98 in Finance today … but I am upset… I don’t know why… nothing makes me happy …. Why is life so cruel do tell me some day…??
Why the joy of reaching the destination is lost when you reach it….???
Answer:
Men lives accustomed to its environment, its ambience. He lives absolutely in sync with his ambience. Those thousand desires always burning inside. He always yearns for something or the other. Always striving for the same. When he attains it, he feels satisfied. He feels those earlier bad days are gone he'll be happy now. But alas! it doesn't happen. Desires are like Sky. It is there. But it is not. You see above. Try to reach it. Jump. Rise to some altitude. Again see ! sky is farther. He seeks thousand and one ways to reach higher and higher aiming to reach sky, But no use. Though every time, he rises, he sees below and feels contented that, YES! I am rising. Moment he sees above. Shhh! There's yet a lot to attain. What is this behavior. Men rises and feels accustomed. His happiness lies in either closing his eyes or not looking above. Or realizing that Sky is no more. Desires are just illusions.
Now don't reach higher for illusions. Reach higher so that you can breath. Reach higher so that you can see the world as tiny as possible. Someday it will happen that you would be sitting atop mount everest and the world would be just the size of yours. Very tiny world. Very large you. Thats aim of reaching higher. You become condensed. You become thick and viscous. When you reach higher. You never grow old when you reach higher. You never feel any boundary. Youth inside is always alive and kicking.
Continuity is very important. Never stop arising. Don't wait for anything. Because happiness is just the transition. Moment you stop, you will cease to be youth. You ll start growing old . Happiness will fade away. Stopping is death. Make the transition your life. Don't let END, end your life and youth.
Life is not cruel to you my friend. You think you are one and live one life. But alas ! truth is you are not one. You have many worlds within. You have seperate expectations from each world. Don't try to intermix all these worlds. They are very seperate like you and others. You professional world, your social world, your personal world, your secret world, your divine world. All these are different facets of your personality. You achieve something in one world. You get accustomed to it in few fleeting moments. You look into your other world and start feeling mediocre. Thats the problem. So Don't try to relate achievement of one world with other. As they are meaningless for each other. Tread your way parallel. As if you are not one but many. Remember the moment you coagulate all your facets, you will undifferentiated mass. Divide, Differentiate yourself, If don't want to feel confused with yourself.
Always remember, transition is secret of happy life.
Life lies in River, Ponds and puddles are born dead.
