The search for a lasting happiness

[QXD]

How would one define happiness? To reach a goal? To achieve an objective?

These two, in the bigger scheme of things, is but a fleeting moment of satisfaction. You feel at the top of the world, top of your game.

Materially, I know I have enough for myself, my family and kids. But then, there will always someone out there with more. Admittedly it does make me feel "lesser" in a way, so I ask myself nowadays, how can I feel happy and at the same time not have feelings of sour grapes or covet another's success secretly by the side.:o

When I recently saw the program "The Other Final", which showed the bottom 2 FIFA teams, Bhutan and Montserrat playing their hearts out and sharing a "split" World Cup at the end of the match, it got me thinking, they are playing for the joy of it, they are both "winners" in the end.

So perhaps someday, success will not be tied to material possessions, but rather, the satisfaction that one has done their very best. And perhaps that will have to begin within ourselves.

Your thoughts please.

bro
Let me try to define happiness even though I'm still looking for it.
It's a feeling of well being and comfort in relation to yourself and your environment.

Happiness is about not having to worry everything and anything in life until one dies.:p

'happiness' is a cup of kopi that does not get cold over time

... Your thoughts please ...

never negating, never affirming, having a complete understanding of things being the way they are without pursuing the thought of it all in a vicious never-ending cycle, that's true liberation of the mind, that's happiness for me :p

in short: what ever's on the mind, it doesn't matter; what ever the matter, never mind...

Is happiness really so important? Are there other things to live for?

Yes, there is sadness because without it you wouldn't know what is happiness.

Striking Toto $8million is lasting happiness

In search of more lasting happiness for others, sometimes the trick is not to think about what you are doing. It will lead to longer lasting experience for both parties.

Breathing is also an important aspect. Breathe normally to avoid excitement.

Exercise regularly also to ensure that you will be able to last longer for enjoyment of both parties.

You are realising that you have a sinkie habit, which is good and you have taken steps to unsinkified yourself. unlike some others who keeps on denying.


Feel sourgrape of others success is a nurtured sinkie behavior. Trying to learn from the more successful one and the way he runs his life to become what he is today. Or maybe he does things differently.

Life is about entertaining yourself.

Yes, happiness is important, and the "other things to live for" contribute to happiness.

"Unhappiness" is the pursuit of and failure to obtain things to fulfil an unrealistic definition of happiness.

 

[eeoror88]

A happy life is one where you can do all the happy things that you would like to do as well as NOT doing things that you hate to do !!

You mean not wanting what you have and not satisfied with what you got.

what is happiness? is happiness peace or joy or a feeling of elation? is it temporal or eternal?

do you think the goals you set for yourself is worthwhile to pursue, will you have to give up something/someone to reach your objective? will there be an expense? i mean if there's a trade off how could there be happiness, because you have compromised your happiness?

will you get satisfactions after you achieved your goals? for how long will you be satisfied? most of the time it's temporal and will gradually fade away, because it may end up like "hey, it's no big deal".

so at the end, you may ask yourself, i do so much, for what?

ever lasting peace and joy and contentment in life is a better road to take.

More like wanting MORE than you have.

Happiness is found more often in the process of seeking for it rather than an objective found. Objectives found only provide fleeting happiness followed by an abyss of emptiness and uncertainty that could lead to hate and depression.
