Happiness: A Way Of Thinking?

The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. In fact, there is only one way to happiness. That is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

Happiness isn't about what we have, or who we are, or where we are, or what we are doing that makes us happy or unhappy. It is what we think about. It is the art of never holding in our mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed. We can attain this when we cease worrying about the things which are beyond the power of our will.

Happy people plan actions than plan results. Success is not the key to happiness but the other way around because happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always doubt the fact that the present and the future are better than the past. Happiness is not merely in terms of accumulating of money but depends upon in the joy of achievement and in the pleasure of creative effort.

It's been my experience that you can always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. It's a matter of positive mindset. Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Very little is needed to live a happy life. It depends upon your way of thinking.

The greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions and not upon our circumstances.Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open. Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. Just because it didn't last forever, doesn't mean it wasn't worth your while. Everything is worth trying for; the end-result is no longer in our hands. The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves.

In fact, optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you. Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Shallow people failed to enjoy happiness because they prefer to complain rather than to appreciate. Acknowledging everything as blessings even in the worst situations can have a positive effect on people; making them see beyond what is seen.

This article speaks about what makes an individual happy or unhappy. Happiness is a matter of mindset; a choice.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
