Are you happy? Researchers and policy makers are in a dilemma because globalization changes the dynamics of our American economy. This will show a huge impact on the economy of all developing countries as well.
Keeping in view of this, the economists and psychologists have turned their attention to research related to happiness. The outcomes of the results have shown to be a bit disturbing if you relate your life’s goals as a bigger paycheck and a fatter nest egg. Money alone does not seem to bring upon happiness in life. Despite rising standards of living, just 30 percent of Americans described themselves as “very happy.” Research proves that women tend to be more psychologically oriented with money compared to that of men, and people with higher incomes tend to spend more time working, commuting, and engaging in obligatory non-work activities. All of these factors associate themselves with lower contentment brought upon by stress. People who are richer aren’t having a better time either.
If money won’t make us happier, what will?
Love and enjoy the work you do, for everyone is a born genius with certain talents. Use those talents at the right time and right place. Cultivate that special talent of yours and respect your peers.
Choosing time over money is more of a pay off than suffocating your life with extra hours of work that only puts more stress on your body. Cutting back the hours you work will likely leave you happier, even if it means less pay.
Think carefully about how you spend your dollars. There is a lot of data that suggests experiences are better than durable goods we buy. A good trip to see attractions will bring wonderful memories and the happiness you deserve.
Research finds rising living standards doesn’t guarantee contentment. So, stay simple. Use your leisure time by socializing with friends and help your family and local community rank high to bring upon delight. Invest on yourself by reading good books and articles, and listen to your mentors.
Stay on your solid path and focus on your goals and don’t rush or push yourself hard to reach your long term goals. Don’t compare with others; time will bring you the wealth.
Listen to your body by staying fit at every age of your life. Sufficient sleep is needed every day, so relaxation and having fun will bring you bliss.
Forgiveness is a special gift for, the ability to forgive will make you happy and loving nature and spiritual life will bring upon its own gifts.
We begin aging when we stop learning. You should not be fooled by others.
Finally, Knowledge is the power of wealth which will bring you happiness along the way.
