For all human beings, the purpose of existence is to experience joy. This is the faith held by a significant number of the great masters. We are all looking for happiness. So, what exactly is happiness? Does everyone experience the same thing? How can we tell whether we are happy?
Is it possible for someone to experience happiness all the time? What are some ways that we may discover happiness? When discussing the happiness that may be found in life, these are the questions we discuss.
A person's perspective of pleasure in life is as unique to them as how they perceive the room's temperature. Although it is somewhat the same for everyone, it is also distinct from one another. Every single person is unique, and as a result, every single person's explanation of what makes a life joyful will likewise be exceptional.
Happiness is:
a) Characterized by a favorable course of events.
b) Taking pleasure in, displaying, or being characterized by pleasure, contentment, or joy.
C) A state of well-being and satisfaction.
If we follow these criteria, then to state that we are happy, we would have to be lucky, demonstrate pleasure, and experience a sense of contentment. It makes perfect sense. Considering that most individuals we know and presume to be happy exhibit these traits, let's take this as our foundation and go from there.
Is it possible for me to enjoy my life even if I do not consider myself fortunate? It is an intriguing topic. Most people are happy when they feel lucky or blessed by good luck. On the other hand, most individuals who think unfortunate or give the impression that they have a lot of terrible luck are sad.
Even if they break their leg in a skiing accident (considered bad luck), they may still be cheerful and smiling because they feel grateful and fortunate! This is mainly because they did not break both of their legs! They may be content since they know that their leg will recover and because they were having a great time skiing (until they crashed into the tree at a speed of one hundred miles per hour!!). Do you see what I mean?
On the other hand, a person can have what most of us consider excellent wealth, yet they might not seem happy with their life. There is indeed an art to happiness, and although some of us are aware of it, others are not; yet, we can all learn to be happy.
Is everyone's level of enjoyment in life the same? Even if the typical manifestations of pleasure described in the dictionary definitions are likely present in every happy individual, it is doubtful that this is the case.
It is impossible for happiness and the pursuit of happiness to be the same since various factors contribute to individuals' pleasure. For instance, I prefer to keep to myself, enjoy working from home and only interact with other people once or twice a week. You may be a charming individual who works in an office packed with people, has lunch with a new person daily, and attends a party every Saturday evening. Even if we are both content, our ways of life couldn't be more different.
In addition, some of the things you consider to bring you happiness could not be my priority. While going on beautiful ski holidays twice a year may bring you great joy, I would be content if I were to have lovely holidays in my backyard and put my money aside. Both scenarios are correct, and we are both content with our lives.
In what ways can you tell whether you are content?
Asking yourself how you feel is the most effective technique to determine whether or not you are pleased. Feelings deeply. On a relatively constant basis, do you have feelings of ease, relaxation, and contentment with how things are going?
Therefore, you are most likely content. Get in touch with your body. Do you feel peaceful and relaxed? Is it relaxed? You must be pretty content.
Remember that the only place where happiness can be found is inside oneself. You will experience happiness if you are congruent with what is appropriate. It is unlikely that you will experience genuine pleasure if you attempt to live according to the standards of another person.
Is it possible for anybody to have genuine happiness all the time?
Indeed! If a horrible catastrophe has occurred, you will not be joyful at that moment. On the other hand, you can work through the tragedy and the accompanying feelings, knowing that enjoyment in life can and will return after you have taken the necessary time to enable healing properly.
Aside from that, yeah. A person may be joyful every moment of the day. It's possible that you won't be jumping up and down and laughing every minute, but you will feel comfortable and pleased, which is equally significant. The little annoyances that are a part of life come and go daily.
We must greet them with a serene smile or a furious grimace. In either case, it is acceptable; nonetheless, the tranquil grin will assist you in navigating life in a more joyful state and will help you discover pleasure continuously. Consider that perception plays a significant role in the art of happiness.
Happiness and the pursuit of happiness are more closely related to an individual's perceptions and the things occurring inside that individual than to any amount of wealth, fame, or power.
Not only do those things have the potential to bring about a sensation comparable to happiness, but they are also connected to those things. A person's perspective on life is a considerably more critical factor in determining happiness.
If you view life with a glass-half-empty perspective, you are fortunate in that you can learn to adopt a glass-half-full mentality, which will ultimately lead to enhanced pleasure.
