Happiness Defined
Happiness
is an enduring positive psychological stage of mind.
Choose To Be Happy
The only source of happiness – and
unhappiness
– comes from inside yourself.
Happiness is not something that comes to you.
It is
something you create now, today.
Waiting for something to change
in order to be happy is waiting to live your life.
It is not what happens to you that counts. It is
how you react to what happens to you. It is your
attitude. When you adopt a
positive attitude,
life becomes a rewarding adventure instead of something to get through.
Finding Happiness
Finding
happiness is about finding your true self.
"You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness.
Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be
and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and
contentment to your life over the long run,"
says
David Leonhardt.

Find the Balance
Balance
is a key element of a happy life
and
sustainable business.
Yin (passive,
receptive) and Yang (active, creative) are both opposing forces and
complementary pairs.
Problems
arise not when the two forces are battling, but when there is an
imbalance between them in the environment.
Conflicts, business problems,
health disorders, divorce, and other problems – all can be
attributed to disharmony in the forces of
Yin and Yang...

Happiness Quotes
"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly,
may alight upon you." –
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Buddha
about Happiness
Tame the mind. This is the greatest challenge before you. It rushes
here and there, swifter than the wind, more slippery than water. If
you can arrest the flights of the mind to your will, happiness will
be assured to you
Positive Emotions Are the
Key To Life
Positive
emotional energy is the key to 0
health, happiness and
wellbeing. The more positive you are, the better your life will be in
every area.
Knowing What You Want
Do you have a dream? Do you
want something to change in your life?
Not knowing what you
want can be a confusing, frustrating and miserable time. Discover what it is
that you want,
what goals
will make you happy.
Buddhism about Happiness
Everyone wants to be
happy and no one wants to suffer, but very few people understand the real
causes of happiness and suffering. We tend to look for happiness outside
ourselves, thinking that if we had the right house, the right car, the right
job, and the right friends we would be truly happy. We spend almost all our
time adjusting the external world, trying to make it conform to our wishes.
All our life we have tried to surround ourselves with people and things that
make us feel comfortable, secure, or stimulated, yet still we have not found
pure and lasting happiness...

Case
in Point
Bertrand Russell about Happiness
"There is not law of nature guaranteeing that
mankind should be happy. Everybody can see that this is true of our life
here on earth, but by a curious twist our very sufferings in this life are
made into an argument for a better life hereafter. We should not employ such
an argument in any other connection. If you had bought ten dozen eggs from a
man, and the first dozen were all rotten, you would not infer that the
remaining nine dozen must be of surpassing excellence; yet that is the kind
of reasoning that "the heart" encourages as a consolation for our sufferings
here below."1
Knowing You Are Competent
and Capable
Being inwardly happy (knowing you are competent and
capable) automatically
improves levels of quality and excellence in your work. Understand
that inner happiness only comes about via Self
esteem + Self respect + Personal Pride. Get these ingredients right
and with careful written planning the rest will simply fall into place...

The Importance of Values and
Mission
The clearer you are about what you
value and
believe in, and what you stand for, the happier and more effective you will
be. The values you choose for yourself, and the order of priority you place on
your choices, will determine your approach to your life and work.
