The Definition of Happiness

THE QUEST FOR HAPPINESS

Happiness. It's a word we hear about on a daily basis. It's something that we previous, that we work to attain. Yet day by heat of the sun we seem no closer to attaining it. Happiness eludes all of us.

Yes, we've had moments when individuals felt happy. Perhaps it had become a wedding. Or a birth of the child. Or it are already that other night, when we were interacting with friends, or spending vacation with family. In individuals moments, we felt astonished, truly, deeply happy. Transcendent almost.

And then it fades. Darkness ensues. The happiness is gone. In its place will often be a vacuum.

We query, "What's the point? " Whenever we have the inalienable straight to pursue happiness, then what is the point if we don't extravagant we can ever put together it, or achieve it means? That which we want more than anything, to be happy, needs to be something that we simpley can't have.

Maybe if we had more money! That's really all we have now! Or maybe it's from which brand spankin' new 3D-LED HIGH DEFINITION TV. A new car? That's right, that's it!

No, no it may not be money or things we would like, but we want matrimony. A man or woman may complete us - that make us happy! If we're along - if only we weren't in the relationship!

But then we get those things and after a brief honeymoon we're property or home where we started.

Empty. Negative. So we try to think of other things. And the years have cycle continues.

It seems we can not be happy. So exactly what do we do?

We count on distraction. We watch TV (obsessively) to distract ourselves from our lives so we do not need to think about how miserable we are or how miserable every day life is. We drink. We smoke cigarettes. We eat. We examine our phones every forty seconds.

We take subconscious shortcuts to happiness. Yet we never were any happier, if no matter what, the shortcuts seem to participate the problem. Then we become addicted to the distractions and we are even more unhappy. Fire up the 11: 00 news - guess what I mean. The modern society sucks, so how do we be happy anyway?

A NEW DEFINITION OF HAPPINESS

After spending the final paragraphs utterly depressed you need to step away from certain ledge. Because we behave as happy. But in order to achieve success we have to unlearn everything we've ever wondered or even lived upon happiness.

First - exactly what happiness ISN'T.

Happiness is not any endpoint.

If our goal would be to achieve happiness then we will not be happy.

Yes, discovered that again.

Happiness is not the goal. The pursuit of happiness is definitely an illusion. If we pursue happiness we will not reach it.

Until now we've all set happiness as the make. It's not.

"Wait, what are you talking about? "

We have always been told from everyone often parents, teachers, politicians, establish personalities, that the goal of our time is to achieve full satisfaction. It's in the Declaration of Independence! Can Thomas Jefferson slumber wrong?

Yes, it's almost everywhere. We are told again and again that we must start happiness. We are told the aim of our lives is to achieve success.

Yet how many of folks are happy? Not the favourite. Because we cannot comply with happiness. Let me rephrase, we could pursue happiness if we would like, but we'll never are provided. Our efforts will be well futile. We know this because we now have lived this. We are living this.

It's time for us to produce a new concept of energy. It's time for country redefine happiness because our current definition is not really working. No - it's worse than that. Modern day definition, of happiness as our goal/destination is just as wrong.

So what the first is happiness?

Happiness is a result.

Happiness is what results when we are on the path you can easliy instinctually know that we should be on. Happiness is what results when we are growing, when we are expanding, when we are in.

Happiness is not something we are able to do, or achieve. It's a result. It's a byproduct. When we are waking, when we are a growing, the result will support happiness.

We will n't achieve happiness if her goal is happiness.

Our goal needed to be one of expansion, expand, development. While we are in toward that goal, were happy.

Happiness is in any other case about smiling. It isn't about the term of joy ostensibly. We might be toiling harder than we ever toiled before. The expressions for this faces might be among the list of pain, contempt. But inside were singing because we will be in on ourselves and generating and growing. The result is happiness.

Therefore, the the big, the key for you to be interested in right now is - are you on the right path? Are you learning? Do you find yourself growing? Are you continues to grow? Because when you are designed to honestly answer "Yes" to people questions, then you here is on your journey, and these result will be happiness.
