RETHINKING HAPPINESS

credit

How are you? Are you happy and fulfilled? Have you got all of life’s means to make you happy and really finding happiness?Think again.

Some years ago you could survive with one-quarter of what you are spending now. You wished for a better government, a better
World and of course a better earning. Today you got better somehow, but are you happier now?

Has the wealth man accumulated over the years brought him happiness and contentment? If not , why then is there improvement in Science, Agriculture, Industries etc?

Did you know that if all men where placed on same income many will still not be happy?

Is happiness determined by expectations? Then the person will never be contented.

Many feel inadequate and suffer from low self esteem not because they do not have what it takes to be happy but because they measure themselves against movie star, super models, well made billionaires and as such happiness eludes them.

TO FIND HAPPINESS,
~ Appreciate your worth.
Make that change that adds quality to your life.
~Care less Do not not give a dime about what others think but measure yourself with you

What is the motivation behind what you do?
Competition with friends? Wouldn’t you stop and think more if what you do is what truly can bring you happiness? To find happiness in what you do, do not only do what you love, do what you are very good at. That way you will derieve more happiness.

We all have needs, desire and goals. Did you know that even when these goals are met, we begin to chase another thing to make us happier?

Yes, we begin to look for how to fill our emotional needs too. Most times it comes with seeking to get the approval of others- spouse, friends, neighbor, parents, colleagues etc. When your happiness depends on people or conditions to make, then that happiness is already restricted.

It is weird to know that to be really happy, you need to know that chasing after the things we think will make us happy will really not make us happy. So do your bit and allow blessings to flow in naturally.
Do not try to over rated Happiness. Happiness is temporary. Only peace is permanent.

The key to happiness is in your enjoyment of that journey as you seek it. Are you dissatisfied because your aspirations about life and
income and even your earnings on steemit is nothing to write home about? How about the friends you have made? How about the impact you have put into the blockchain? You need to stay satisfied even when things are not working out very well like you wanted.

WHAT CAN HELP YOU TO BE HAPPY EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE REASONS TO BE UNHAPPY?

~ Show Gratitude: Gratitude begets positive outcomes. Being grateful for the simple things you have even if you haven’t got all will make a profound impact in your life. You don’t have to be happy for only big things, be grateful for even the smaller things you got.

~ Exercise: Exercise releases endorphins in you and that make you happier. Be physically active and you will be happy, despite
dissatisfaction about life.

~Meditation: When feelings of unhappiness and worry about the future well up your mind, meditate. This will bring you to the
present. If you meditate always, you stay focused especially on things you need to do, that wipe feelings of sadness or unhappiness away.

~Train your mind to see positive in every given situation or conditions.

“ Rather than dwell on distressing matters in your life now, make a decision. Change the unhappy situations you have control over and let go of matters beyond your control.”----Sarah Morgan.

View feelings of worthlessness, unhappiness as a visitor, visitors come, no matter how long they stay, they eventually go.

For sure, : “ Happiness can not be pursued, it must ensue.” ---Victor Frankl
