Work to find happiness

Happiness is an abstract concept with a different definition for each person.. Achieving happiness can be defined as the feeling of achieving a desired purpose or the ability to enjoy something good. However, each individual has different goals in their life, even the differences in the way of life in each society mark the objectives related to happiness. For some, it consists of the money in their checking account and for others, being able to enjoy their loved ones.

Therefore, It is important to learn to determine those aspects of life that can bring you happiness. That is, craving what pleases other people does not have to be the same thing that can fulfill you. Comparing yourself to other people or wishing for the life they have thinking that all of this would make you happy is nothing more than idealizing a false reality.

Feeling happiness in the small everyday things, learning to value your efforts as the basis of everything, are the things that will really give you that feeling of satisfaction that is linked to happiness. But It is not easy to value those things, many people need help to discover what exactly it is. Seneca already said it in his “De vita beata” (On happiness, in Spanish), “all men, brother Gallio, want to live happily.”

That is, we all want to live happily and to do so, We eagerly seek that which provides us with that state of well-being.. Have a good job and be a great professional, have a good house, a good car, a wardrobe full of special pieces, watch your children grow up or something as simple as an afternoon at the beach with friends. Each individual craves different things, because each one has the ability to value achievements in a different way. However, sometimes we focus so much on the final goal that we are not able to enjoy everything we find along the way.

Happiness is a powerful feeling

Knowing yourself is the basis for finding happiness, as Plato said, “The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend on himself, no longer on others, has adopted the best plan to live happily.” ”. In short, for Plato, happiness lies in personal growth and in the satisfaction that small achievements achieved on a daily basis bring.

However, the society in which we live, what is valued to a greater extent is everything for everything, having more, better and showing it to others. But that is an unreality, a binge on sweets that gives you satisfaction for a few minutes but soon makes you crave more. That is unreal happiness, because what is really important is not what you achieve, but the efforts made along the way, the attempts, the failures, the disappointments and the emotions suffered before reaching the goal.

Do you want to learn to value yourself, to enjoy everything you are capable of doing and thus be able to live a full and happy life? Through the advice that you will find in this Happiness section, you will find the keys to discover yourself, to work on self-knowledge and discover what are the things that really bring you happiness.

Because maybe, and just maybe, you are looking for happiness in something that is not really what you need. It is possible that your goal is unattainable, unrealistic, and may even have nothing to do with your own personality. Therefore, knowing yourself and working on your personal growth will help you value the things that make you feel good and thus, enjoy true happiness.
