| Referring to the recent article by Time magazine, I think happiness should not be treated as a goal, but as our state of mind in the present. It's all in the moment. People who live in third world countries could be just as happy, because they really "live" their lifes each day and worrying about what the future holds only brings us agitation, fear, and anxiety, which in turn, lead to unhappiness. Questions like "How can I afford a car?", or "How can I get a raise?" eventually create constant worrying. Those are valid questions; but if there's a solution to a problem, act on it; if not, then why worry? It's gonna happen anyway.
Only by treasuring our present life and be grateful of what we have now could we truly be happy. Just imagine that there are millions of other people in the rest of the world who are worse off. Just to comment on the blog: what a nice read, keep up the good work! |
