The Big Question- What makes us HAPPY?
The end objective of all our endeavors is to attain a “Sense and Feeling” of Joy, Happiness, Peace and fulfillment.
Though at the first instance the question looks simple but once you start deliberating on your answer, more likely, it would seem an elusive quest. There is nothing wrong or surprising about the experience, why so...because
THE ANSWER TO THIS FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION DEFINES THE QUALITY OF LIFE WE LEAD.
So How do we find - what really is our motivation, what really inspires us or bothers and what we really want in life, finally what makes us HAPPY.
What clicks or what is that unique Cue or Act that literally creates a thunder - a storm -a magic in an individual’s mind-heart, that changes the person’s thought process and fills up with positive energy and passion to act / work and achieve what one really desires in heart.
If we translate the ask here then broadly it can be put under three heads:
1. Stress Busters
2. Motivators
3. Inspirations
An Activity, A Person, An Event, A Thought, each of these can fall in any or some or all the three categories listed above.
The Science and Psychology behind the “Act of getting Inspired” and “feeling motivated” do not confine to any one formula or phenomena. The cause / source and subject / object combinations which compliment optimally are the one where seamless emotional cord is synthesized, attributed to subject’s inherent need(S), desire(S) or dream(S) matching with the exuberance (influence) of source testaments or articulations or achievements.
There is no definite answer(S), no straight theorems or x-y like equation to derive the eluding answers. But there are some sure signs which can guide us to find our “JOY SYNTHESIZERS”.
Let us try below acts religiously
1. Give 10 minutes exclusively to Self every day for a one to one intimate conversation. Do it religiously every day with no other work or disturbance.
2. Recall and review the day to find out the feelings, reaction mood etc with respect to an Event, an Activity, a Person, a Place, a Topic etc.
3. Repeat the steps religiously everyday till you make it routine aspect of your daily life.
Though the above activities may seem trivial, but always remember, all the good results normally come from doing simple meaningful acts than falling for false illusion of accomplishment by attempting the complex routine.
Just be honest and consistent in your conversation, one day You will surely discover your own Happiness Catalyst{s} and Joy Boosters.
Have a Peaceful Happy...Life
It’s a journey to self realisation of seeking the truth and understanding our own self desire at the core which is in sync with what our soul sees happiness in.
