Happiness set point



 The realisation in my life is to have Gratitude to be happy. "Success is getting what you want and Happiness is wanting what you get."  The wanting what you get is expression of gratitude.  “Mother of all virtue is Gratitude”. I acknowledge this statement with my personal experiences.

Always our body carries a basic level of happiness as predetermined point and strives to maintain it. The Happiness drops momentarily when something bad event happens and set back to predetermined point after a while. 

Similarly if something positive events will rises our happiness and returns to our predetermined set point. This can be called “Happiness set point”. 

The practice of Gratitude can keep you continues events of happiness and   maintains the "Happiness set point" always higher in your life. Continuous practice of this can raise your “Happiness set point”   to next higher level.

So we can remain at a higher level of happiness in spite of any circumstances.

Expression of gratitude and to say we feel grateful is not to say that everything in our lives is necessarily great. It just means we are aware of our blessings.

The first thing in the morning and before go to bed , I practice expressing the gratitude to almighty, for creating me, creating the   opportunities around me, creating the people around me, the daily teaching from all the events. The bad event also teaches a lesson. I had to undergo that event to learn the lesson and I should be grateful for the almighty for creating that customised event for me alone.

Keep track of “Happiness set point” . And raise its level continuously…

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when...

Poverty

“What is poverty – the state of being extreme poor ”. Different people have the different poverty. Someone has poverty of wealth. some body has poverty of love, peace,  happiness, health… Everyone has the poverty. Everyone undergo the poverty. Nobody has abundance of everything.   Man was going to temple and saw the beggars sitting at the entrance and explained his child they are poor people and poverty state. He went inside the temple and started praying with the God to provide the health. Child was confused. My experience in the life is that, each one undergoes all type of poverty at different time. When I started my life I had poverty of money, worked for some time and started the business. The moment started experiencing money in hand started feeling the poverty of love after some time got married. Again found poverty of happiness then we had a child and so on. Also my experience is poverty of one can lead to poverty of other. The poverty def...
