Hello Dear Steemians, today I want to shear with You a work I did some few days ago, I call it Project Happiness.
This work reflects the enthusiasm that's comes from being happy, I was inspired to do this work just to show that happiness is really important to us, both as individuals and in the world generally.
For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many of us are very concerned with ethics, knowledge, beauty, love, health, productivity, peace, justice and prosperity, often forgetting that these blessings are simply and ultimately means of facilitating happiness. Nevertheless, over the last several millennia we have been culturally conditioned to prize these blessing and work very hard to maintain and enhance them. The fact that as a world our happiness level is under 65 percent, however, suggests that our conventional strategies for achieving happiness are hardly effective.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
~Mahatma Gandhi
Considering happiness within the framework of good and evil, or right and wrong, we find that what is evil or wrong is only undesirable because it diminishes the happiness of an individual or group, and that what is good and right is only so because it increases the happiness of and individual or group.
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
~Robert A. Heinlein
Recent studies are revealing an important reason why happiness is so important to us all. A growing body of research is demonstrating that as we become happier, we become better people. As we become happier we become more compassionate, more creative, more energetic, more financially successful, more emotionally and physically healthy, etc. Thus for those of us who are more concerned with creating a "better" world than a happier world, becoming much happier and helping others become much happier may prove a very effective means to this end.
Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
~Abraham Lincoln
Happiness is not only important to our personal and societal lives, it is important to our global community. Unhappiness breeds wars and terrorism. Countries who unjustly attack other countries are doing so because they are not happy with certain international realities. Terrorists who attack individuals and populations are deeply dissatisfied with various social, political, religious and/or economic realities. Very happy countries would not wage unjust wars. Very happy individuals would not commit acts of terror.
Life is like a camera, focus on what's important. Capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don't work out just take another shot. Remember, never put your happiness in the hands of someone else instead be that someone that makes You happy.
