What do I want to be?

This is the question I get asked often and I’m sure same would be the case with you. Do I want to be the richest man in the world? No please.

Do I want to be the happiest? Again no.

No because if I’m the happiest then that means everyone else is less happy than me. I don’t want that. I want to be able to find happiness in others’ happiness.

Even today I toddler’s smile makes happier than a big achievement. But getting back to the question. What do I want to be?

I want to be a person who gone through a roller coaster ride in which there were ups and downs. I want to be a person who remembers the worst when at his best and the best when at a worst.

I don’t want all the happiness in the world. I want the right blend of happiness and sorrows. Till now I’m amazed by how well God has managed to do this.

I want you to be happier than me and tell me your happy story which in turn would make me happy too.

Here’s my one line answer:

I want to be a person who is happy in others happiness and sad for others sadness.

Right now, I’m happy for you as you are reading this.
