Most of the
times people think that if and when they will achieve their goal (get a better
salary, buy that car or house, get married, write that book, climb that
mountain, create that business etc) then they will be happy.
Nevertheless
achieving any goal may require that during the process you are already happy.
Maybe happiness is not only a goal it may be a pre-requisite in achieving
goals. Happiness may even have the effect that your physical body has higher
frequency (the spin of the protons, neutrons, electrons of the body is faster).
Therefore happiness is a paramount requirement in life. Happiness may seem a
chimera, and a ghost that cannot be targeted directly. That is why it is easier
achieved indirectly. Especially when trying to give happiness to other people. Happiness
may be superficial or deeper. Choosing to experience a sequence of positive
rather than negative emotions in daily life, is by itself not only cheerfulness
but also happiness. Therefore our knowledge of changing our emotions is very
close to our ability of being happy.
For
practical people acting the desired actions already brings happiness. For
emotional people expressing their emotions to beloved friends and partners
brings happiness. And for intellectual people like scientists, discovering
their long-sleeked scientific explanation or proof, or writing the right code,
and sequence of thoughts, brings happiness. To people oriented to power,
having more
followers or succeeding in
determining the future fate of themselves or close people, brings happiness.
Finally happiness
is greater, the more is the psychic development of the individual and the civilization.
Peace of mind , planetary prosperity and happiness comes also when we feel that we accomplish gradually our true goals. And there are minor and major goals in life. We might say that our existence has no other goal than to exist. Or that we may have many different goals, according to the scale of relevance in our existence. But one of the most beautiful and meaningful goals in life is to develop more of our soul consciousness. So all other minor goals like social success, money, fame, knowledge , creativity etc are to serve this major goal of developing more of our soul consciousness
