Happiness is... Part 2

Secrets of a happy life

What are their happy lives? Actually different. And each person has his own path to happiness. There are bad roads with suffering and pain, as well as good roads with satisfaction and joy. And each direction involves a lot of options for the development of events. But there is happiness. It is like a lock to which not everyone finds the key. It is important to follow the dictates of your soul.

Many people have the secrets of happy lives. They actually feel happy. Here are the main steps on how to become happy people:

You can't compare yourself to other people. You can't find a stupider activity. However, most people do this in their lives. Each of us has our own circumstances and conditions of existence, as well as our own character traits, potential, state of health, way of thinking, etc. So forget about comparison. We need to live and enjoy what we have.
It is important to have a dream, a goal in life. A person is happy when he realizes his own mission. But you need to set achievable goals. Every day, approaching a dream, a person feels true bliss, his heart is filled with happiness and joy.
The past is not worth pitying. People tend to analyze the mistakes of the past and think about probable scenarios of what happened. In some cases this is useful, but it is still a waste of time and effort. You need to realize, correct mistakes if possible, accept them as a lesson and move on.
Don't hold grudges. It is pointless and even dangerous to your health to be angry with other people. The significant ones need to be forgiven, and the rest should simply be forgotten and not waste your energy on them.
Always be responsible for your choices. We often don’t even notice that we are constantly faced with the need to choose something. And the blame for failure lies with each of us. So we chose the wrong path.
You need to enjoy life. The world around us is truly beautiful. You just need to take a closer look at it. A blooming garden, splendid architecture, a sunny day, a nightingale singing, etc. It's all around us. It will help dispel bad thoughts and relax after hard work. You just have to pay attention to it.
We must value time. It is necessary to manage your life correctly and not waste time. After all, there isn't much of it. If a person realizes that he is not living in vain, he feels happy.

Thus, happiness is an individual state, a subjective perception of the environment.

What is happiness like?

What is happiness like? It has many facets. It can be for women, children, large, family, personal, etc. U

There are many defining epithets for this concept. Each of us has the opportunity to look for new reasons to be happy every day. There are so many beautiful things in the world, material and spiritual. You can find pleasure in every little thing. The main thing is to want it.

Let's talk about what makes people happy:

● Feeling of love, care and support from family and friends. Loneliness will definitely not “provide” happiness to anyone. And in difficult moments you cannot do without support.

● Life should be enjoyed. A useful skill is to have an optimistic view of what is happening around you. If you know how to see the positive in any situation, then you are more likely than others to be on the path to happiness.

● Free choice. Forced obedience to the rules that are imposed by society, religions, etc., interferes with happiness. However, this is not the only reason that stands in the way of this condition and an obstacle to the right choice. Don't get hung up on little things, learn to choose and recognize your own needs.

● Live here and now and make the most of life. You need to live, not anticipate. Making plans, projecting a bright future, thinking about buying a new home, getting rich is not bad. But only if you do not postpone their implementation, but make efforts to implement such plans. And this should in no way interfere with living in the present day.

● You can't be jealous. Sincere joy in someone else's success and happiness helps you find it yourself. And envy only prevents this.

● Cherished dream. It moves a person like a guide. It is important to have an important achievable goal. At the very first step, “wings grow” and you want to move on, towards your dream.

● Favorite job, activity. A job that brings pleasure is one of the key conditions for success and well-being. Having a hobby that brings not only money, but also moral satisfaction is the best option in terms of work.

Based on Old Russian, the word “happiness” consists of two significant parts: the prefix “съ” and the root “part”. In the older version of the language, the prefix “съ” gave the word a positive connotation, and “part” was translated as “share.” Therefore, adding these two values, you get a good share. It’s the same with the myth about bread. An abundance of bread always meant having a “good share” in the house.

There are many consonant words from other languages. For example, in Ukrainian - shchastya, in ancient Czech and Polish the word “happiness” is written as follows:

štěstí and szczęście.

There is a similarity not only in the meaning of the words, but also in their spelling. However, the word has the deepest roots from the Proto-Slavic language. Perhaps all the current words of “happiness” come from him.

Also in ancient Greek history there is a myth according to which the goddess Fortune had an assistant Tyche. In addition, the language also has a single root word eytychia, meaning a good share, fate. From this we can conclude that fortune also has a little happiness.

Happiness in philosophy

“Happiness is the feeling of freedom from pain.” Arthur Schopenhauer

The philosophers of Ancient Greece tried to figure out what happiness is and how to achieve it. It was then that the philosophy of hedonism .

Hedonism is a philosophical doctrine that states that obtaining pleasure, satisfying desires, and seeking entertainment is the main goal in life.

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristippus of Cyrene (IV century BC) created the Cyrene school. Cyrenaics believed that a person lives to receive pleasure and enjoyment.

One of his followers, however, argued that happiness is impossible to achieve and that one must strive for complete indifference in life.

The Cyrenaics were replaced by the Epicureans - followers of Epicurus' teachings on happiness (IV-III centuries BC).

Epicurus also contributes to the development of eudaimonism . An idea that understands happiness not so much in carnal pleasure, but in the feeling of a good life through abstinence from excesses.

The Philosophical Encyclopedic Dictionary (edited by A. A. Ivin) understands happiness as the ultimate goal of human activity .

What is happiness?

Happiness is a state of maximum well-being. A happy person is satisfied with everything in his life. Moreover, this satisfaction is absolutely subjective. Only the person himself should like what is happening: his personal happiness depends on his personal perception of the situation.

Albert Arturovich is a third generation billionaire. But today his daughter announced that she was going to work as a volunteer in the Republic of Chad. He is furious, his daughter is happy. Although they are both inside the same situation, only from different sides.
Irina Maksimovna was fired from her job, kicked out of her rented apartment for debts, and she doesn’t know what she’ll have for dinner. But her eyes sparkle, her mouth smiles involuntarily. She almost floats down the street and everyone turns to follow her, although it’s time for her worn jeans to retire. A random acquaintance notes that she looks ten years younger. The doctor called Irina Maksimovna in the morning and said that her son’s operation was successful, he had regained consciousness and was stable. Irina Maksimovna S-CH-A-S-T-L-I-V-A.
The baby who climbed onto the windowsill on his own for the first time is also happy. Happy is his mother, who managed to turn around in time and pull the child away from the open window.

Happiness comes in different forms. It has shades and expiration dates. In childhood, parents and a new toy are enough to be happy. And adults have been trying to experience this feeling for years.

Remember the last time you were happy? Are you so happy that you forgot about all the existing troubles and walked, beaming, like Irina Maksimovna? It's unlikely you won a million. What made you so happy that day or evening?

Answer! These are not rhetorical questions. The person on the other side of the monitor cannot know what happiness is for you personally. You have to find out for yourself. This text will be a guide and assistant, but not a ready answer.
