I have a cup of tea here in my favorite cup and I am looking forward to sitting down with you and having a nice chat. Today I talk about my upcoming free course about how to be happy every single day( I can't wait to start please do join me). Email me if you would like to be part of this course on [email protected]. Today I also talk about THE MYTH OF HAPPINESS THROUGH BEAUTY, YOUTH & WEALTH. So, without further ado let's have a lovely chat about how to be happy every single day...It has been a few days since we have spoken...too long...too long I feel...I start with a quote today from one of my favourites Leo Tolstoy 'If you want to be happy be" Isn't that lovely? This quote really says so much doesn't ? It is so simple yet there is so much meaning behind these words. Today I talk about current happiness theories. What I found and what I regularly continue to find when combing the internet is that some blogs have pictures of beautiful young people and these people are smiling by a luxurious pool with a tropical backdrop....with the appearance of wealth suggesting that these elements automatically bring happiness. Yes perhaps these elements of youth, wealth, and beauty may help happiness...to be young beautiful with a healthy smoothie in the hand by a scenic outlook may indeed help our state of mind BUT sustainable is so much more than beauty, bliss, and the perfect circumstances. And to believe that these elusive elements come hand in hand with happiness is simply not true and quite misleading. Happiness is not a byproduct of being young, beautiful with wealth. We all have the right to happiness at any age, regardless of aesthetics, and without depending simply on money. What I think is that happiness is a practice. Just like golf, piano and maths times tables requires a devopment of skill so does the learning of how to feel happy. Today I refer to chapter one in my book "Daily Rituals For Happiness". We need to cognitively learn to feel and practice feeling happy every day. Wouldn't life just be a game of russian roulette if our happiness was simply dependent upon such transient states as beauty, wealth and bliss? If we look at Maslow's law.....we know that happiness requires comfort....( Do you want to hear more?
