hi friends, this information seemed interesting to me and I share it with you.
all seek happiness.
But for you, what is happiness?
We believe that happiness depends on:
• Get something external.
• live according to the cultural values of the moment.
These beliefs lead us to go through life thinking that, if we manage to have a little more money, a new house, a car or a better one, a trip to ..., the acceptance or admiration of the people, lose 5 kg., See us Younger, have a stronger body, etc., then yes, we will be happy.
It is difficult for us to find happiness because we look for it:
• In the wrong place:
Outside of us, when it actually comes from inside.
• With a wrong attitude:
We hope that we fall from the sky and that it stays indefinitely, without us having to strain too much.
We see it as an end or a goal to be reached, when in reality it is a process, something that is lived day by day and moment by moment.
• With a wrong concept of happiness.
We think that being happy means living in ecstasy all the time and obviously this is impossible to achieve.
Joy is part of happiness, but being happy is more than being happy.
On a general level, it can be said that people are happy when they achieve:
• Be satisfied with your life.
Our satisfaction with life is related to our expectations, achievements and self-esteem.
When we perceive a small distance between our achievements and our desires or expectations, we feel satisfied and fulfilled.
When the distance is very large, we feel frustrated and unsuccessful.
Putting high but achievable expectations and working properly to achieve them, overcoming obstacles and managing "failures" or mistakes, depends on having a good self-esteem.
If our self-esteem is low:
Our expectations are too high and unattainable, (because we try to achieve something that demonstrates our "value as people"), obviously we do not achieve it and our dissatisfaction is very great.
Regardless of what our expectations are, we make little effort or get discouraged at the first difficulty, so we live dissatisfied or frustrated.
• Have more positive than negative moments.
In the life of any person, there is joy and pain, easy and difficult situations.
The problem arises, when we give more importance to negative ones and live positive ones without enjoying them, or evaluating them.
A person who knows how to be happy, fully enjoys every moment of joy, well-being, satisfaction or beauty, however simple or small.
And when he experiences a painful situation, he confronts her in the best possible way.
