Happiness? What do you think?

[socaldude]

Ok Guys I just got back from the gym and I do a lot of thinking in between my sets. And I thought to myself: How were people happy 2,000 years ago when we didn't have any of the Junk we had today? Then it hit me. TRUE happiness is something internal that flows outward. Not something that flows inward from some external thing.

Then I thought about MJ's notion about freedom. And then I thought: happiness is being FREE from external influences.

What I mean about external influences I am talking about: Material items, Money, societies stupid beliefs/dogma, other people's opinion of you such as your haters and family members. Because after all happiness is NOT something that flows inward to YOU from some external thing, it's something that flows outward from YOU in your mindset.

So in other words there are different degrees of freedom. The more free we are the happier we are! I'm not talking about freedom as in money but freedom from being DEPENDENT and ENSLAVED to external influences.

Now a mindset consists of beliefs. Here is my two cents on what I think a happy mindset is:

1. Contentment: Being happy with what you have. And realizing that you don't need anything more to live a happy you!

2. Embracing positive emotions: Confidence, Joy, Love, Compassion, understanding.

3. Realizing that we humans are all the same: Yeah a big fat lady and a victoria secret model is quite different but we are all human beings. And each of us is just this tiny piece of the whole.

4. High self esteem: realizing that you are important. Here again self esteem is your OWN opinion of you. In other words in flows from YOU outwards not from OTHER people's opinion of you. Other people's opinion of you is called others-esteem not self esteem. Alot of self esteem problems come from EXTERNAL things such as family members opinions of you and et al.

5. Everything you need to be happy is FREE. From the day you were born you were given everything you need. The lush green forest, the fresh water creek, the sunny sky, the beautiful desert; its all free.

Now I know i tend to hate on material items a lot but that stuff is totally OK if you are not DEPENDENT on it.

What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Just don't give a shit? Add your own beliefs/mindsets to this list because it's obviously not the said and done thing.

To conclude I think happiness is forming the UNIQUE YOU. Your OWN opinions and beliefs and NOT letting OTHERS opinion of you determine you nor letting some thing external to you determine you. Not letting EXTERNAL things form YOU. Because otherwise are you really free?
