HAPPINESS- WHAT DOES IT YOU MEAN TO?

Happiness is probably one of those very few words which means different to each one of us. That happiness is desirable is definitely universally agreed upon, religion, philosophy, science define happiness on varied lines that diverge in different directions. Every person on this planet has an opinion about happiness and what it ought to be and its very much possible that each one of it is unique.

These are a few facts about happiness

Social conditions, freedom and civic rights are considered as pre requisites for happiness. But there are a large number of people who find happiness and a reason to lead a meaningful life amidst hardships and pitiable situations.

It is a recorded fact that 37% of people on the Forbes’ List are less happy than the average American. This states another misunderstood fact regarding happiness that it is proportional and dependent on income.

This one is something I strongly believe upon. Passion drives happiness. The happiest people are those who are living and working what they are passionate about than those who make choices dependent on compensation and preferred norms.

Happiness is more about inner inclination than about external factors. Inner predispositions such as outlook towards life, relationships, attitudes and thoughts contribute about 50% of factors responsible for causing happiness whereas only 10% depends upon external factors.{ So if not a Audi be happy with a city ;) } It is all about how you see things. Nothing is big. We make it appear that way.

So, try to find happiness in the smallest of things and make sure you have found the right meaning of the word.
