Are you happy?
01/16/2024 ● Sandra Ruiz Mello
Happiness - a state of complete satisfaction, well-being.
And for you, what does it mean to be happy? You'll probably stop and think:
With this in mind, it becomes a little more difficult for us to recognize our own happiness. We pressure ourselves to have positive results in our jobs, to be loyal to our friends and family, and vice versa, in short, a quest to be the best and have the best.
What is the meaning of happiness?
It's very subjective to say what happiness means, each one of us has a different reality, we've been through different situations and so we have different expectations. Some people report that happiness is achieving everything they've idealized, such as a promotion at work, achieving a good achievement, achieving an ideal, being healthy, among others.
But I believe that happiness goes far beyond achievements, but rather our state of mind, a self-knowledge that makes us a more balanced human being, full of convictions. I think that the realization of our life projects is a consequence of our full state of mind. Many people have everything they want, even what they don't need, but even so they are not happy. Perhaps it's because they don't feel full and satisfied inside, and even if they are materially fulfilled, this lack of self prevents them from finding happiness.
There are already reports that a person has the basics to live on and is happy because the issue of acceptance is very well resolved within them. This person understands that what they have to live on makes them happy, that the people around them are important in contributing to their happiness. Don't look for your happiness in things or people, find it in yourself, only then will you be fully happy. Understand that your happiness lives in you.
