THREE SECRETS TO HAPPINESS We all know that money cant buy happiness … but many times we act as if wed be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich arent happy either). We are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want. We want to earn more money because then well have the good life. But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn. No matter how much we have in the bank. No matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this. So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, its three things that dont cost a thing. 1. Good relationships: We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our friends & family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and develop your relationship with them. 2. Positive thinking: Im obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives, and have a positive outlook on life. Make positive thinking a habit. In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. 3. Flow: The state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us. We are so immersed in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when theyre passively mindless, but when theyre absorbed in a mindful challenge. Find work that youre passionate about. This is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that youre passionate about. Youve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness. Dont waste them! Follow these and be motivated... Good Morning Famz!
