Happiness is our AIM - part 2

 Happiness Is Our AIM….In our thoughts but ....  Part 2 of 2

 

In part 1, we have seen that wishing to be happy does not help us to actually be happy.... 

 

‘Why so?’, you may ask. ‘After becoming CEO I will have no worries. My concerns about How-to-be-a-CEO etc are now redundant. Thus I will not have any negative thoughts...’

 

But the sad reality is that we are never satisfied with the 'Happiness’ from achieving material goals or targets. Sure for a few hours or days, you may be elated to have become CEO.

But in days to come, you may get restless again. The wish to become the CEO of another larger firm or merely hoping to retain your job itself (due to changed market circumstances) means that the initial Happiness of becoming the CEO is short-lived.

 

The Rolls Royce similarly stops giving happiness. Now what is needed is a pent-house in the most happening quarter of the city!!! After all your spouse’s cousin has recently moved into one too.

 

So in all practical reality, merely achieving material goals is no guarantee of lasting happiness. Sure like a child being handed a lollipop, we are grateful and happy during the initial licks. But soon we start worrying that this lollipop may get finished.

 

If we recollect the Part 1of this post, we realize that these challenges started when we started thinking about some material goal X as the basis for our happiness. It is not really hard to believe that irrespective of what our ‘Happiness goal’ is, ancillary thoughts, both positive and negative will soon creep in. 

 

The latter ones are more frequent as discussed and in due course, our dream of future happiness descends to the present confusion/ worries/ fear etc. In short, unhappiness.    

 

So what is that we need to be doing....?

 

A better question to ask is what is that we should NOT be doing? 

 

We should ideally not be having any thoughts. 

 

Just think about it..... 

 

... being blissfully present without having any thoughts is the way to go... Of course, it is easier said than done. 

 

The image herein a truth captures the Truth that Happiness is indirectly proportional to our (number of ) thoughts. So if we have less thoughts, the happier we are. 

But often we ourselves are the bottle neck to our Happiness. The ego 'i' does not let us easily find happiness because it encourages more thoughts (as seen in part 1).

Meditation and Self-awareness help us on our path to actual happiness with NO Thoughts...

PS - I am thankful and grateful to the universe for receiving this two part post along with beautiful visual imagery as a Gift!

The fundamental formula of thought world - Happiness is indirectly proportional to the number of thoughts is from my book - My FIRE WITHIN!

Happiness is our AIM - part 1

 Happiness Is Our Aim….In our thoughts but ....  Part 1 of 2

                                                                                 

Ask folks what they would love to be and invariably in another question or two (Why or What Next?), they will confide they wish to be happy.  

Each one may see different routes to be happy. Basis their personal interests, situation in life etc, they may wish to be a CEO, climb Mt.Everest, marry a good looking & wealthy spouse (surely a bonus if he/she also happens to be intelligent & compassionate), start an NGO for helping the vulnerable, buying a Roll Royce etc )

  

So the one thought - the simple wish to be happy, also spawns many other thoughts...some positive and some negative. Positive thoughts could be … the happiness/pride our friends & family will feel once we become CEO. Negative thoughts could include the challenges we fear that we will face on road to be CEO.                                                           

 

The lady who is already a favourite of the board because of the remarkable turnaround in her SBU, since she has taken over, or the harassment charges one may face due to some indiscretions of a decade ago etc...

 

Each thought or ancillary thought (positive or negative) will in its wake, create other ancillary thought (both positive & negative). In general, we find that negative thoughts are more frequent and funnily enough linger longer too. 

 

This (tendency to dwell on the negative) is not surprising. As animals, one of our basic instincts is to survive for more days. This is of course to reproduce more and transmit more of our genetic material into the gene pool. 

       

So it surely helps to be fearful about the future and to be prepared to Feed (ourselves), Fight, Freeze, Flee, Fornicate etc.. all for immediate physical self-preservation &/ or propagation of our genes.                  

 

So wishing to be happy, and thinking of happiness is not as simple as it may seem. We invariably get sad because we invariably start thinking of some challenges or some sad events or experiences...
