  • 2018

We will talk today about how to discover " The Secret of Happiness ". What does it mean to be happy, and how can we achieve it? It may be simpler than many think.

First of all we leave you here, the reflection of the Argentine Neurologist and Neuroscientist, Dr. Facundo Manes, of What is the Key to Happiness? :

… ”Children from two or three years old to older adults were studied. Some became politicians, others became street workers. This study lasted, more than six decades, even the principal investigators died and the study continued. Neither Fame, nor Power, nor Money, give happiness. What gives happiness and well-being, is Having Human Ties. Be connected with friends, with the couple, with the neighbors. Have human contact. We are social beings. We also know that feeling alone kills. Feeling alone is a mortality factor, more important than alcoholism and obesity .

What does it mean to be happy?

Being happy means achieving the emotional state of Happiness . A happy person feels good and self-realized. He feels that he managed to reach the goals he had set, and the feeling he achieves is full satisfaction.

The happiness of one person does not have to be the happiness of another. It is their own individual feeling . They do not have to fulfill the same reasons or the same objectives for all, to achieve happiness.

It can be said that when we accomplish our tasks, our wishes are fulfilled and we reach the proposed goal, we are happy . But what are our goals? According to what Dr. Manes says, it will be happiness and our goal is to have a lot of money? Buy the biggest house? Make the most expensive trip? .

In theory we can say that when one manages to fulfill a wish he is happy. But really, they have never heard that money is not happiness.

What is the secret of happiness?

The Secret of Happiness does not necessarily need to have a precondition. Thus, many people are happy with what they have, without having a material objective to fulfill. They simply give thanks for what they have, for their families, for their friends and for their lives.

What was granted to them in this life, is what makes them really happy.

According to Psychology: " happiness is a positive emotional state that individuals reach when they have fulfilled their desires and fulfilled their goals." But as we have seen, these objectives are not always material. A person can be positive and feel happy without having money, perhaps it is because he is surrounded by friends, and is in good health.

How can we achieve being happy?

We will be happy, the day we recognize everything we have and stop thinking about what we do not have . Being happy is enjoying the simple things in life . To be happy is to be able to have family breakfast, or be with loved ones. Being happy is knowing that we are not alone, that someone will always be there to help us.

I invite you to make a list of all the things that make you happy . You will see that many will realize that they need only pay attention to what they have . Perhaps many times we do not observe the happiness we have and go out to look for it without needing to do so.

To be happy!
