Don't postpone happiness to future

I would say because us as individuals know what makes us happy as individuals. What makes you happy may not make me happy. What makes a difference is if we go out and do the footwork towards our happiness. If you expect to sit around and wait for happiness than you will be waiting a long time. My mojo is to identify the problem and not dwell on it and make for a quick solution. That to me is taking affirmative action towards happiness. Happiness calls for just a little effort on your part and God will do the rest.

Maybe that's related with one's personality, some are destiny- prone folks, the others are doers goal- oriented and by achieving what they want, they feel happy. Some people wait for big events to make them happy, the others are happy in little things. To me this implies a very narrow (American) interpretation of happiness, namely money/material. Americans think they are entitled to become rich because it’s in their constitution (they think). But what is this happiness, that was mentioned in 1776? When land was yet to be taken from the natives? Was that this happiness, these acres for the grabbing? To make money? I wonder. Anyway, it might not be the same as we see it now.

Because people have a skewed sense of time. They believe that if they pinch pennies all of their lives and forego vacations and fun they will experience nirvana in their “golden years.” When the golden years finally arrive they spend all of their time going to doctors and very little time enjoying themselves. Unfortunately for them they realize too late that the merry go round will end eventually and they will have to get off. The smarter way is to enjoy as you go, every day, whenever you can. Connect with people, enjoy a good meal or a beer, take time to talk to someone and improve their day. There is no time like the present. If you postpone happiness you are cheating yourself and those around you as well.

It’s because some people chase after their dreams in an unhealthy way. I understand that they just can’t wait till they finally reach that goal of theirs, and that it can make them impatient, that’s normal, totally cool. However, when they start to neglect other aspects of their lives and all of their focus is shifted to that one thing, that’s when stuff get bad. So people! Do not pin your happiness to one thing only! Learn to appreciate the little things in life and live in the moment. Take it easy, and remember, if it’s meant to be, it’ll surely happen.

I see that many people spend inordinate amounts of time, waiting for perhaps that lottery win or large inheritance which will transform their lives. In this process they neglect to understand that happiness is not a constant state, life has it’s highs and lows, but to recognise those many small things/happenings that bring a smile to their face rather than waiting for that one huge event that will bring ultimate happiness. is a gift that is around every corner.

We all try to get out of the present moment which is strange because it’s really all there is. Try to focus on this moment and realize all the things that you have that are marvelous including life itself. It’s remarkable that we are here at all! I’m sure there is other intelligent life in the universe if you can call us intelligent, but it’s probably few and far between. How remarkable that we are here. What can I say? Probably some people would never be happy no matter what.

I believe there are times when a person’s “love language” or means of achievement is so strongly affiliated with a “spiritual” realm of humanity, that one will always consider similarities, as follow: if there is a presence of mind- in thought- then one’s happiness must be seen objectively as they experience its language (e.g. creativity), more vicariously. The “happy if,” argument is actually a means of gesturing in society (see: modal logic), which have long since departed our care to modern times.

Examples: “…there were more experiments on this report.” “…they understood the politics, to watch their privilege.” “… there were more places I could share my music.” There is a subject to the predicate, which only takes less to to be defined. In context: one may be over-burdened, or dedicated toward a set of actions, which leave them indisposed for the moment. Suffice to say, it once would fit a pallet of social graces. While there are evasive ways to make argument towards a person’s thinking, there are also problems that will arise from taking things too literally…

Some of these challenges are not bearing witness to what may be seen- as similar to- when one is known to have signs of Autism. On the other side of the coin, there are many who feel isolated in an ablest environment (e.g. stigmas of receiving “psychological treatment”). That is a factor, which would offer prevention (i.e. accommodation) to any present psychological disorders, such as PTSD. We do need to be accountable to our own learning. While I may have been stigmatized for this lack of observance, and even psychological treatment, these are still solutions, which I can accept more preferably, as more conducive to my nurturing, and thus feel “more at home”, as I have learned can be more broadly taken wisely, and conducive- to such expression. In a word, this would offer a great deal of “happiness,” to me. Cheers!
