Assalamu Alaikum. Greetings Sri Lankan community. How are you all? I hope by the grace of Allah, you are all doing well. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am also doing well. I pray to the Creator that we are always well.

Today I want to write a post about a topic related to life. Basically, we all want to be happy in this life. We are ready to do everything that is necessary to be happy, but even then we want to be happy all the time and happiness should be like Aladdin's lamp to us.

There are many people in our world who constantly expect happiness. The more happiness they want, the more disappointment and sadness come into their lives. Despite trying a hundred times, people cannot be happy and cannot improve their situation.

But if you want, I would like to tell you about the key to being happy. Basically, the first thing that needs to be done to be happy in this world is to correct yourself.

There are many people among us who do not like to criticize themselves. We ourselves make many mistakes but they never become a subject of criticism. But when other people make mistakes, we criticize them and teach them criticism.

Basically, the most reprehensible thing in this world is to criticize others. If we really want to keep ourselves happy, then the first thing to do is to judge our own faults and virtues. If we can criticize ourselves and be aware of our faults and virtues, then we will never go astray. There is a Bengali proverb, He who is good himself, all good is for him. That is, if a person is good himself, the whole world is good for him. And if a person can criticize himself and act with his conscience, then that person can never be bad. Because the biggest court in the world is the conscience of a person. If we can measure ourselves with our conscience, then we will be able to assume our inner faults and virtues. When we can realize our own faults and virtues, then there is no possibility of any kind of trouble arising between us. It is very important that in order to be happy in the world, we must judge our own faults and virtues.

The second thing to be happy in the world is not to expect anything from anyone. There are many people among us who constantly expect from others. When the person who expects disappoints him, great sadness and pain accumulates in our mind.

There are many people around us constantly. People always think about others and criticize others. There are many people who do good to others and later expect something in return for that good.

If you are a real person, then of course your job is not to expect anything from others. Now you can say, I did good to someone but why did he not return the good to us? If your attitude is like this, then stop doing good to others. Because you will do good to someone and later expect a return of good, this can never happen. If you do good, you have to do good to people selflessly. When you expect something from that person after doing good, when you are disappointed, your anger, jealousy and pride towards that person will arise. This will hold all the sorrow and pain in your mind even tighter. So if you want to be a happy person in the world then you should definitely do good to others but it should be selfless good. If there is any benefit hidden in the good then you are never a good person and your state of mind is not good. So to be happy in the world one thing must be avoided and that is the desire to get something from others.

I want to share one last point with you. To be happy in this world, we must be content. There are many of us who cannot always be satisfied with little. You have to be happy with whatever the Creator has given you. You do not need much to be happy. Peace of mind is the greatest peace. How much money you have or your peace of mind does not depend on wealth. If you want to be happy, you must be content with little.

There are many people in the world who become dissatisfied with little. Some people do not get satisfaction from the amount they have given. The more the Creator gives, the more our desires increase. That is, we need to have a certain amount of needs. If our needs do not have a certain amount, then we will never be able to make ourselves happy. Try according to your ability and thank the Creator for whatever you have received. You will see that you will also be included in the list of happy people in this world.

You do not need a lot of wealth to be happy. To be a good person, you must consider yourself with your own conscience. The last activity is not to expect anything from anyone.

If we can complete the above activities, then we will be able to conduct ourselves as happy people in this world. So let's complete the above tasks to improve our position. So let's change our mindset and increase our peace of mind. One thing to keep in mind, we always need to desire one thing and that is our own peace of mind.

Thanks for enjoying. Thank you for being with the Sri Lankan community and for reading my writing
