Is happiness something that is learned or is it innate? Fears, a pessimistic view of the facts, low self-esteem are some things that are better off rejected. There is only one certainty: happiness depends on you and not from outside sources. This ideal is not unattainable, therefore, take courage!
If there were a recipe for happiness, it would have enough ingredients so that we didn’t have any lasting negative feelings. These ingredients are somewhere in the world and they are invaluable. They’re in your own interior. Happiness is not a matter of luck, money, beauty, or laughter even though these are things that can bring us great satisfaction. The general welfare lies in the harmony of oneself. Only by knowing yourself will you get closer to happiness. Therefore, strengthen your self-esteem; take advantage of the pleasures in life, and problems with intelligence. Prefer a fighter’s attitude or an entrepreneurial spirit, and you can be the master of your life.
Life is like a black and white photograph: it doesn’t have pure tones but are predominantly grey instead. Unfortunately, you can’t always remove the miseries of life but you can learn from them. Of course we all fall down sometimes – we are only human. Errors aren’t curses, and if we fail at times it doesn’t mean we are complete failures, but you can monitor your thoughts and listen to your own words and that will prevent you relapses, tragedies and crises. And if you don’t like your life, change your way of thinking; check your beliefs and ideas.
There is even an international index of happiness! It is seen that the most developed and wealthy are the unhappy ones. The first place for 2009 is for Vanuatu in the Pacific islands followed by Colombia and Costa Rica. Spain comes in at position 87 and the USA comes in at 150. To evaluate this, ones life expectancy, the amount of natural resources consumed and the welfare of the people are all taken into account.
