Where is Happiness?
Do you move through life feeling everyday is the same? Like
some repeated pattern that goes on and on? For some people,
there's nothing new to do under the sun, and nowhere to go.
Everything is just boring, boring, boring. They work so hard to
earn enough money to play, but yet their playtime passes so
fast. Suffer five days, enjoy two days. Sometimes, to break the
monotony, they seek thrill through intoxicants (alcohol, smoke),
sex, and even drugs. For these temporary pleasures, it feels
exciting while it's happening, but once it's over, the same
pattern of meaninglessness sets in, and they're left thinking,
"When can I get the next high?"
Perhaps you will recognize this scene... Two old men are sitting
on a bus. As the bus passes by the red-light district, one old
man says to the other, "Hey... aren't you going to see the
chickens (prostitute) today?" The other man raises an eyebrow...
a spark in his wrinkled eyes, "Yes, yes, I will be going this
afternoon!" The first old man smirks, and says, "You didn't even
bring your medicine, how can you DO IT?"
For some people, their lust is so strong, that they borrow money
from family and friends, just to visit brothels. You will see
this pattern in addicts. Drug addicts, sex addicts, alcohol
addicts. They're always looking for the greater thrill and the
next high, and that's what sets their life on a downward spiral.
They waste their time, energy, and money, instead of using it to
build success.
For life to have zest, everyone needs that natural feeling of
drive, anticipation, and excitement. When one does not know how
to get it naturally, one may resort to vices to stimulate that
sense of being fully alive, desperately trying to bring some
meaning into life. But you see, happiness is within you... If
you can't satisfy your wants, then the other way to happiness is
to release them. Let go of that which you must have. Shakyamuni
Buddha said that, "All desire leads to suffering..." Suffering
because you crave what you do not have. And let me ask you this:
Is this yearning self-created? Or something imposed on you by
the outside world? Perhaps it's the outside world's fault
because other people keep flaunting their luxuries and exotic
experiences. But surely, we create this yearning within
ourselves. It is within our power to control it, or release it
altogether.
Lord Richard Layard, Professor from the London School of
Economics, a leading happiness researcher, says, "Happiness is a
balance between your expectations and your attainments. One way
is to get what you want. The other, is liking what you get."
Many of our desires are misplaced. We think getting them will
bring us happiness, but that is an
illusion. These misplaced
desires are nothing more than temporary pleasures. You don't
need to satisfy your desires to be happy; you need only release
them. Do you need the attention of the opposite sex? No, as you
get older, your body parts will sag, and the opposite sex will
pay less attention to you. Must you get laid to be happy? No, as
you age, your sex hormones will lessen, and so will your desire
to mate. Must you wait till you have a million bucks? Nope.
Historical and worldwide research shows that above US$15,000 a
year, higher income is no guarantee of greater happiness.
The people who feel good everyday, without resorting to vices,
have one mental characteristic in common. They have a dream, and
they know what they want to achieve in life. This sense of
purpose drives them; gives meaning to their existence. They have
discovered their soul's calling, and are living life to the
fullest by following it. This is different from those who are
'party animals', "living life to the fullest" by drowning in
deafening music, and shaking till the sun rises... That's not
living, that's dying.
If you want to find true meaning and happiness in life, then
you've got to uncover your life's purpose. For each of us has a
unique destiny. A path made specially for you to walk on this
journey through life. Follow it, and you arrive in paradise.
Ignore it, and you continue to wander... wasting time, and life
itself.
1. You need to know what you're made of. Your talents,
strengths, and abilities. 2. Craft a vision for yourself, and
visualize that dream in your mind. 3. Work out a plan that sets
your goals and decides what actions you must take to achieve
them. 4. Tell your closest friends about it, and commit yourself
to taking five of the planned actions everyday to build your
dream.
When you see that your actions are creating results, it will be
a natural source of excitement and inspiration. Instead of
spending time, energy, and money on vices, you invest it in
creating an upward spiral of success. By releasing your desire
for temporary pleasures, you kick your bad habit out the door.
By choosing to live your purpose and answer your soul's calling,
you break free from the chains of monotony, and find truth,
meaning, and happiness in life.
