That’s the measurement tool we should be using when
deciding what we should be doing. Stop. Check your emotions. If it makes you
happy than do it, if it won’t, then don’t do it.
There’s a misconception that rich people are happy but
that’s not true. In fact, some of the poorest people rate higher on their
happiness barometer then rich people. They usually place a high value on family
and relationships. They also live their truth and are very grateful for what
they have no matter what the condition they find themselves in.
Thinks about it, the things that really make you happy
are free like smiles, sharing a laugh with friends, hugging family members and
the fresh smell of nature after it rains.
Material happiness is really short lived. As seniors
advance in age they start to give away their belongings but keep sentimental
items like a gift from a friend or pictures of family members. Everything else
can go because it’s not important.
An important point here is that everyone’s happiness
barometer is unique to their self. In
other words, what makes you happy isn’t necessarily going to have the same
effect on another person. Their
happiness may come in a different form. You can’t project your view of
happiness on someone else anymore than they could on you.
What do you think?
Instead of viewing success in terms of wealth, how
about we measure it in happiness? After all isn’t that what we’re all after?
