The Power To Be Happy

I am sure there will be many people who read this article and will have their own opinion. Quite frankly I do not care because in this article, I write about what in my humble opinion are the most important things in life — health and happiness.

The common conversation you'll hear are always about money…

What car do you drive?
How much is your house worth?
How much do you earn?
How much did your suit cost?
Where are you going on holiday this year?

I find all of this rather sad — they seem to be in some sort of competition and they are basically obsessed about money.

Does this means money is not important? No. But other things are more important and yet, the society has treated money to be the key to happiness.

For me the two most important things in life are health and happiness. These are two things which money can not buy. Here's the proof – there are people who have a lot of money and yet live in depression. Ironically, there are those who had next to no money and have been extremely happy.

Money gives 'certainty', which is why, many misinterpret that as happiness.

You see, change, which is uncertainty has a very negative connotation for most people. On a deep emotional level we are creatures of comfort and we automatically seek out that which feels good in the moment. We long for comfort and this usually comes from that which we know; that which is familiar to us.

Once we can comfortably deal with and "know" all the "unknowns" we can "relax" because your nervous system and your mind is designed to find and attach a meaning(s) to everything and therefore something new is always a confrontation between that which is and that which will be in your mind.

If you're not certain, it's hard for you to be happy, right?

What you are comfortable with represents your comfort zone which includes all the experiences that you can comfortably deal with. If you don't expand this "zone" then you simply won't expand yourself as a person. The need to grow and become more as a person, is a deep emotional need that all humans have.

Without growth you simply won't be happy. All growth, although it feels uncomfortable in the moment always feels immensely fulfilling in the long term and it is this feeling that we all really crave for; the feeling that we call "good". You can do something that feels comfortable and "good" in the moment by staying with what you know, but true fulfilment comes from pushing beyond your comfort zone and creating a sense of pride in yourself.

Growth means change and change involves risk and risk is the process of stepping from the known to the unknown.

The truth is that all of life is constantly in a process of change. Nothing ever stays the same. It is the nature of all of life, including you and happiness. Even if you do nothing life will still change. For you to progress, you have to decide to consciously initiate and create the change.

All change starts with a change of mind that will lead you to find the key to happiness. You have to start by changing your thoughts about what you want to change. In changing the way you think about something you immediately change your perception and consequently the way you feel about it.

Change your mind and the rest will follow! Soon, the way to happiness will appear in front of you but if you don't change, then you simply won't grow and if you don't grow you are not really living.
