Happiness

I was switching channels the other day cause there are nothing that interest me on television... and I stop at the Hallmark channel which are showing Oprah... the theme of that day show is: How Happy Are You? they ask the audience to take the Happiness Test to see how satisfied are them with their life...

The test was created by Dr. Robert Holden, founder of the Happiness Project... yes, there are people who actually research on happiness... he said that happiness are not to be found... cause happiness is in you... it is in your heart... you must find the key to happiness... things that makes you happy...

For example, as you know the show is watch by mostly housewives... a woman is unsatisfied with her life... stress at work and deals with the chores in the house... she is unhappy... but actually she is... cause she have a loving husband... and all her children are good and obeys her... that is her happiness... it is in her... she does not need to find happiness... she is already happy... she just need to find the key...

In life, we make choices... either bad or good... we must make the right choice... Dr. Holden says that we must be motivated by self-acceptance... accepting that we are doing the right choice... and also believe that we deserve to have more than what we had... the law of attraction also played a part... it increases our self-acceptance... we need to be surrounded by people that remind us of who we are...

He also said that we always set a target... and after we reach the target... we'll set a different target... and this goes on and on... this shows that we will never be happy or satisfied... he called this as destination addiction... we must be contented with what we have... and be happy... but humans just can't be contented easily...

Take the Happiness Test and see how satisfied are you with your life... I scored below 15... I'm dissatisfied with my life... hahaha... more details click here... if you have the time to read...

I studied today...
