The Happiness Mindset
We all pursue happiness in our lives. However, happiness always seems
elusive, evasive, and unattainable. The word "happiness" is a term
difficult to define because it is very much individualized. But genuine human
happiness has to be holistic in that the body, the mind, and the soul all feel
some sense of satisfaction.
Happiness is only a state of mind. The mind controls your thoughts: how you act and react to any event or circumstance. The mind records all your mental perceptions and interpretations. and stores them at the back of your subconscious mind, where they become your memories, and hence the fabrics with which you weave the "realities" of your life. In short, it is your mind that decides whether you are happy or unhappy. Happiness is just a mindset.
In addition, your mind makes your life choices, such as what you eat and your lifestyle. Again, they may positively or negatively affect your body and your health. Given the close connection between body and mind, your physical health has a direct impact on your mental wellness, and hence your mental happiness.
Your soul oversees your body and your mind, which affect your soul with
respect to its supervision. It is the interconnection between the body, the
mind, and the soul that is ultimately responsible for your overall wellness and
ultimately your perception of happiness. Happiness is always a glass half-empty
or a glass half-full. Remember, life is always a bed of roses with thorns -- we
all have our good fortunes and misfortunes. It is all in the mind, which can
make "a heaven out of hell" or "a hell out of heaven."
In order to empower the mind to create your own happiness, you need true
human wisdom to understand what genuine human happiness is. With that wisdom,
you know who you really are, as well as your needs, and not just your wants.
With that awareness, you become a better person and more connected with others.
Human goodness is the foundation upon which genuine human happiness is built.
