Life is About Happiness
Life is the universal standard that all people are subject to. Every one we know either is or was alive at one time or another. Life is the one thing all humans have that makes them equal to other humans. We all start life with the exact same amount of life and ability. What one does with their life is what we are measured by.
Human beings must meet standard specific needs to function at their best. As we all know the basic needs are food, shelter, clothing and procreation. We will seek to fulfill these needs in that order as it is what we must do to survive. We will always do what it takes to survive. Filling these needs means our main focus is survival. We are all programmed to survive. Our number one goal in life, whether we realize it or not, is survival. How well we are surviving is what determines our happiness.
Besides our physical needs we also have psychological or mental needs. These are pleasure, prosperity and happiness. Happiness is our way of measuring if we are fulfilling our psychological needs. So therefore fulfilling our biological needs and psychological needs become the natural and rational goals of human life. Our goal is not necessarily our purpose, which may be something else all together, and is not part of today’s discussion.
A person sets up prosperity and earns happiness from within. Yes you heard that right: Happiness can not be taken from the material world, nor can it be gained from another person. Happiness comes from yourself; you are in charge of your own happiness. Happiness depends on genuine self esteem, which is a product of a persons own life and choices. Happiness is a deeply personal inner matter.
There are three requirements for happiness to exist.
1. A healthy physical state; to be disease free.
2. A healthy self esteem; to love yourself.
3. An honest handling of reality with a loyalty to your self.
If you are a productive person with good self esteem you will be happy.
To maintain long range happiness a person must be mentally healthy. Mental health depends on your loyalty to honesty, despite the views and opinions of others. Adapting yourself to the views and opinions of society will only serve to make you less happy. To conform to society is to surrender your free will, and this in turn diminishes your happiness. True mental health depends on you and in no small part on your honesty. You must at all times; deal honestly with yourself to maintain your integrity and thus maintain your self esteem. Your life depends on your honesty to yourself. If you can not be honest with your own self, then you will not be able to have and maintain happiness.
Being honest with your self will build your self esteem. Having good self esteem is paramount to having happy survival. If you are surviving comfortably and with prosperity then you will have happiness. Part of this concept is being productive.
To be productive means to be produce or able to produce something useful to others. Whether this something is your own labor that you sell for money, or a simple act of kindness, as long as you are creating something of value you are being productive.
Productivity and self esteem build on each other. They are not a cause and effect relationship rather a mutual harmonious relationship, much like your eyes. You do not see simply through one or the other, one is not color and the other black and white, they are a synergistic system that works together and in tandem one improving the other. The same applies to productivity and self esteem. Together they are a synergistic system that works in tandem one improving the other
Through character evolvement, and development productivity and self esteem naturally evolve. Then when productivity and self esteem are functioning properly; prosperity and happiness naturally appears into your life. If you do not have prosperity and happiness then you need to examine your own self. Remember this; you are responsible for your own life.
So examine your inner self. Are you honest with you? This is the first step towards a successful life. Be honest and loyal to you, as it is you who determines your own happiness; so you must determine your own honesty and in so doing, determine your own life.
I propose here a new bumper sticker: “He who dies with the most happiness; wins.”
