For many years it has been a challenge for me to understand why some people, are so unhappy for most of their lives, and why most of us only occasionally think: “NOW I, AM, HAPPY”.
Here are some questions for you to reflect:
Why we think that if we are wealthier, live in different country, have bigger home, have better job, or have something else than we do now we will be happier? And why, when we have this “something else” our happiness lites up for a while and soon we become unhappy again and again for the different reason/s? Are we destined to be Unhappy in terms to achieve things we desire? May be we have a misconception of what happiness means?
What is happening to us?
I will try to answer this question based on my observations and experience, you are welcome to disagree and throw your opinion here, let start discussion, lets get to the bottom of THE Happiness.
Some time ago, I was having my lovely coffee at a very nice coffee shop and observing people coming in and lining up, people sitting around me and baristas making a coffee. I was totally focused on studying people and understanding their behaviours in that particular moment, understanding their characters, the way they behave or dress or move, in the other words I was immersed in the human learning proceed. This exercise is an integral part of my daily life, which helps me to understand who I am, who are we and who are people around me. I have learned that when I pay attention to my surroundings and try to understand situations and people around me, that very moment gives me a feeling of being on a Vacation, happy relaxed and appreciating what I am having right there, right at that moment. And I had a revelation, yes revelation on what happiness means to me and how to carry this mental state around and use it to realize best of my life.
Here is short formula to ease your daily life:
Happiness = (Be Present + Focus to Understand+Accept) – Being Judgmental
It is a state of a mind when you are ready to receive information, self, surroundings and people the way it is and instead of fighting it, or trying to change and criticize or be afraid of it, you embrace it and understand it and learn from it.
And yes, life can be unpredictable, tough and sometimes sad, but Remember Life is Given to us for a certain period of time. Use it wisely and midfully. It is our One and Only Big Vacation.
