What is Happiness?

Today, I will share on the topic of  " What is Happiness? ".  Many people usually discuss what is happiness all about? being happy is without bothering about  money? being happy is successful pursuing your dream job? being happy with more money into your pocket  or being happy with your love one? Which one considers "Happiness" in life? Is life that complicated? Pause and ask yourself? What is happiness to you?

From this book, I gain three insights of what is happiness all about?

  1. Good Health  - First of all, in order to be happy we need a healthy body. So that we can focus on what we love to do.
  2. Strong relationships - Secondly, we need to love and share with others humans. We enjoy being loved and appreciated. We need to build a sense of connection with our families and friends to achieve a most meaningful and happy life.
  3. Secure financial standing -  Have a lot of money may not bring you happy life but without money definitely does not bring you any happiness. Money itself will not bring you happiness but the important factors money has the power to give you to make choices- ability to choose what to do when to do and how to do it, therefore, you can choose what you love to do or ability to pursue your dreams. Hence, you will be able so to spend quality time with your loved ones.

With the above three ingredients, you will be able to do what you love to do. Moreover,  each of the elements needs to be in place and need the right sequence for it to work.

Quoted  directly from the book:

Health enables you to do the things that you want to do, strong relationship gives you peace of mind to do what you want to do and lastly, money helps to make it possible.

Above are some tips to pursue happiness in life. Sometimes we take thing for granted and did not spend time with our loved one by spending most of our time pursuing money, however, pause and look back how much you have missed and start to treasure everyone besides you & "take action" and start to do something you passionate about.
