Jan 11 2012: Happiness is also about being grateful for what you have, not worried about what you do not have and want. Lusting for the material life trappings causes unhappiness......being happy for what you have causes happiness. VERY easy to just change your persepective.........
Jan 11 2012: I feel that happiness stems from NOT focusing on self, often we invest much of our time in instant gratification, or centring our attention on how to deride the most of any situation for oneself (money, status, power etc) - the natural human selfish self preservation instinct.....ie....how can I best score from this situation, or how best does it suit me............Now I am not saying one needs to become totally unselfish, I believe in taking downtime for oneself, such as massages, courses for self improvement to further interests, pleasurable holidays and trips with the ones we love......that is good, .....however if more of us could take a little more time to invest in others, family, community, those less fortunate than ourselves or unable to protect themselves, caring for the environment and nature with COMPASSION.....spending time in nature...........the natural battery recharger for free...... THIS is the ultimate secret for pure happiness, helping others .....if more people would realise it, the world would become a better place!
