Comparing happiness with finances... somebody could be very smart and well educated, yet they are not so wise with money. They spend money on whatever is in front of them without care. They are broke. However, if the same person in the same situation were to pay attention to how they use their money, then they could make better decisions over time and end up having more money. Likewise, heres somebody who does not use their mental focus appropriately. They concentrate their power of focus upon whatever is in front of them, without taking score of how its effecting them emotionally. They watch violence on the news and in movies. They follow trails of thought that lead them to places that make them feel bad. They entertain bad feeling ideas for long periods of time. This person feels bad. Now, take the same person in the same situation, however now they pay attention to what is going on emotionally while they think and participate in things. They notice that the news stories feel like crap, so they turn the tv to another channel. They now notice the feeling in their gut when when theyre mulling over a thought that doesnt feel good. Instead of focusing there and giving that idea more power, they direct their attention to work on their new art project. This is the most productive and intelligent use of emotions. Just taking steps along the way to maintain a positive balance will make a big difference in your mood overall ~ Tina Babble.
