CANCEL, WHAT DISTURBS YOUR HAPPINESS
Happiness is a sense of well-being, joy or contentment. Happiness is something that comes from within.
When people are successful, lucky or safe, they feel happy. Happiness is that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can’t help but smile. It’s the opposite of sadness.
The pursuit of happiness is something everyone need and different people feel happiness for different reasons. Whenever doing something that makes you happy, people usually want to do more of it.
With the close ties between “Pleasure” and “Happiness”, you might be wondering how to differentiate them.
OED definition of Happiness describes it as a state of feeling pleasure. The association between the two makes sense, and its common to hear the two words used interchangeably. However, when it comes to the science of positive psychology, it is important to make a distinction between the two.
Happiness as a state characterized by feelings of contentment and satisfaction with one’s life or current situation. While pleasure is more visceral in the moment experience. It often refers to the sensory-based feeling we get from experiences like receiving a compliment, eating good food, having sex etc.
Happiness is a more stable state than pleasure. Happiness generally sticks around for longer than a few moments at a time, whereas pleasure can come and go in a second. Pleasure can contribute to happiness and happiness can enhance or deepen feelings of pleasure, but the two can also be completely mutually exclusive. For example, you can feel a sense of happiness based on meaning and engagement that has nothing to do with pleasure, or you could feel pleasure but also struggle with guilt because of it, keeping you from feeling happy at the same time.
The cause is always that happiness comes from within and the effect is that the outer happiness is simply the manifestation of the inner state.
Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have---Zig Ziglar
I advise you to make sure you create your own happiness and be the owner of your own happiness. It is actually not that difficult to create outer happiness.
The easiest way is to do things you love and do it often, to do things that make your soul happy, to create from your soul and to express your true feelings.
Happiness will not come to you; rather it can only come from you. If you expect others to give you happiness or if your happiness relies on external circumstances, then you are destined to be disappointed sooner or later, because no one can give you true happiness except yourself, not even your sweetest lovers, best friends or any of your closest family member can bring you the constant blue sky happiness.
