Sunderblogger.094 Happiness is a state of mind. An emotion. A feeling. A reaction. There`s even a part of our brain where happiness is triggered. When we are happy, that part of brain in `lights up`. There are two types of happiness; temporary or instant happiness and overall long-term happiness. From childhood, we learn that our happiness is dependent on outside forces. We base our feelings on how well we think the world is treating us. We learn that happiness is based on how successful we are; our status in life, how much `stuff` we own, and how good or bad our partnerships, marriage and family is going. This view point is reinforced throughout our lifetime by our parents, school, peer pressure, TV, work and society. As a result, the pressure to perform is often enormous; the pressure to be successful is intense. Add to that the psychological hurts inflicted on us by circumstances and people and it`s no wonder so many people are unhappy or not as happy as they would like to be. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani.
