Happiness and Wisdom
Thinking is a process
of self-intuition through asking relevant questions to create not only
self-awareness but also self-introspection. It is the natural habit of the
thinking mind to try to solve problems by asking specific questions. Solving
problems with relevant questions is self-empowering the human mind to attain
human wisdom because it creates the intent to learn, to discover, and then to
change for the better. Without the ultimate change, life often becomes static,
boring, and ultimately unhappy.
Wisdom has much to do
with how the human mind processes
life experiences, and asking questions about how and why those
experiences occured.
We all process our
experiences in different ways in different phases of our lives. All our
thoughts associated with our own past experiences are indelibly etched in our
subconscious minds, and inevitably creating our different emotions and
feelings, both positive and negative ones, in different phases in our lives.
Human life is complex,
and living is always complicated. To truly understand what life is all about,
you must distill life to one simple but difficult question: “Am I happy?”
If you are unhappy, why are you unhappy?
Maybe there is one
more question you should also ask yourself: “Am I wise?” Happiness and wisdom
are related. Read my most recent book: The HappinessWisdom.
