The Second Pillar of Success in Your Life: Happiness
Happiness is the another important element in our life. Do you think you are happy? Why are you not happiness most of the time in your life? It is because you are not taught in school on how to be happy. Has any of your teacher teach you in school on how to be happy? I think it is very rare if any teacher did.
There is a universal formula to happiness. You need to learn the system of happiness in order to life your life to the fullest. If you do not know about the system of happiness, it is not a problem. I will show you the system that you could benefit for the rest of your life.
Happiness is a choice. Before you can be happy, you need to make a conscious decision to choose happiness. If you have choose not to be happy, you can never be happy. Therefore, you need to make a declaration to yourself every morning that you want to be happy. You will see the magic following your action making happiness declaration.
The second step towards happiness is to create your 'do-good' account. If you do good, you will feel good. If you do bad, you will feel bad. It is derived from the quote of Abraham Lincoln. Your feeling is strongly affected by your action. If your action is a good action, you will feel good.
Starting from today, you need to accumulate your 'do-good' account. Start taking action that you think it is a good action. A good action is anything that do good to others. It can be a good action to your family member, your neighbor, your colleague, your spouse, your partner or anyone in your community. Start to be self-aware on your 'do-good' account, and record every good thing that you have done in your 'do-good' account.
Since if you do good, you will feel good. You need to deal with every challenge in life with a constant awareness of the effect of your action. Take good action. In other words, you need to make a quick 5-second judgment whether your action is a good one or a bad one. Pause for 5 seconds every time before taking action. Make sure it is a good action and record it is your 'do-good' account.
Your small effort in doing good thing at work will generate good result as well. You will start to love your work slowly and enjoy your work. It is really hard to find the work that you like in life. However, your good action will lead you to love your work eventually.
Soon, you will notice your good action generates good response. The feeling of happiness flow into your life likes an endless stream of honey. Your good feeling immediate influence everyone who come in contact with you. Happiness is contagious and it spreads like a wild fire and excites every life around you. The happiness around you infects you and you will live in the kingdom of happiness ever after.
