Pursuit of happiness-Isn't so difficult
Key to happiness may not be only one factor such as money or wealth, it's composed of many other factors that affect our day-to-day life.Researchers have narrowed down certain factors that make a difference in our lives and are the key to happiness.We will be discussing those in this article.And the good news is that these factors are within your reach!.
in the modern day,wealth or money is very essential."Money buys status and status makes people feel better" says an economist from UK.But money is not the answer for all the questions.money just makes your life better, accelerates your chances of attaining happiness.Once you could fulfill your basic needs like food clothing and shelter, then money is just one of the factor that lead to happiness.But until one can satisfy his own basic needs then money plays a significant role in giving happiness.
The desire to achieve,setting goals and accomplishing them are a way to get you happy.Since when you succeed then you are confident about yourself.you get high on self-confidence.When the desire is more than money- for friends, goals, achievements, health,etc., the chance of achieving happiness is much better.But having out of bound desires cause more trauma and difficulty in attaining happiness.Surveys show that people always desire for more and end up ruining their lives for trying to pursue that they can't have.So be careful of what you desire and the reason for your desire.
Intelligence is the next factor that may affect our happiness.People tend to think that intelligent people always succeed in their lives and are more prone to be happy.But that is not entirely true.Research shows that not all the intelligent people are successful.Just because you have an high IQ, it doesn't mean that you can have good social relations and you can have no trouble in your life.Intelligence helps in getting your happiness but it doesn't help alone as a factor.You also need social intelligence to get along with the people around you,obviously without the people around you you can't get your happiness.
Friendship plays a major role in your happiness.Without the need to explain why, we can understand that with the help from our friends,timely advice, companionship, a person to spend time enjoying in parties etc,.People who may have low income and a deprived state of living may still be happy since they may live in a community that is filled with open minded persons who are ready to help each other.Social relationships are partly responsible for the increase in one's happiness.When there is support from people around you, you tend to work a lot efficient and you tend to live your life in a confident and happier way.
Do married people get happy or do the people who are happy tend to get married? well both the cases may seem true.Studies show that marriage in one's life brings about huge difference in pursuing happiness.The responsibilities that lay upon after marriage makes one work towards happiness or gets one even more down trodden,but everything lies in the way we think.Marriage may have a positive effect for 2 to 3 years or so but good marriages have a positive effect throughout one's life.There seems to be a secret to this factor,just living together with someone throughout your life doesn't bring you happiness it's just more than that.
Faith can be a decisive factor for attaining happiness.faith comes in different forms-faith in yourself(self-confidence), faith in other( confidence), or just religious faith.People who believe in themselves, their ability and who support the people around them are good at times of stress and are prone to live longer without worries or avoiding worries.They can take care of themselves and hence prone to be more happy.
Giving or sharing(more aptly charity) is a link for happiness.Many people feel content when they know they've helped someone.it may be materialistic support or intellectual support.A single act of charity may not bring happiness but the cumulative effects of your actions will bring about happiness in your life.Sometimes the action of charity brings you happiness since you see that your help has made someone happy,it's just as simple as that.
The final factor that is key to your happiness is age.with age,People tend to handle difficult situations better, with growing experiences they are less prone to troubles if acted upon correctly.With age, people may expect life to be harder and tend to find a way to adjust themselves.They tend to set goals that they perceive to be achievable.Also with growing age, people tend to concentrate on things that make them happier and let go of those that makes them less happier.
So the pursuit of happiness may not be that mush difficult,its just that we must learn to make the right decisions at right times and stay positive at all times!
