In a world where we are told everything and its opposite about happiness and fulfillment, and in which everyone has a grain of salt, let's take stock for a moment on the subject of happiness. In this article, you will discover an approach to happiness in which you are its creator. In fact, you will learn how to create your own happiness and how to achieve it. You will also discover a personal development tool specially designed and ideal to help you in your journey.
What is happiness?
If you search for the definition of happiness on Google, you will find various more or less literary definitions such as the one in the Larousse dictionary. Indeed, before creating your happiness, it is better to know what you are talking about.
Definition of happiness
Here are the definitions (source)
- Good luck, favourable circumstances: We were lucky to arrive on time.
- State of complete satisfaction: Nothing can disturb their happiness.
- Joy, pleasure linked to a circumstance: What happiness to be here!
- Great, but what to do with these definitions to create their happiness? Which one to choose?
On Wikipedia we find a whole page full of information mixing philosophy, literature, and politics, throughout history, from Greek civilization to the 21st century. To make it simple, we'll just make do with this excerpt first stated on the page (source).
Happiness is a state felt as pleasant, balanced and lasting by anyone who feels that he or she has reached the satisfaction of his or her aspirations and desires and then experiences a feeling of fullness and serenity.
Difference between pleasure and happiness
Then, the differences between pleasure (more punctual and superficial) and happiness (more lasting and deeper) are also evoked. Thus, happiness would then be a state of plenitude. On the contrary, pleasure is a satisfaction of a desire that excites and stimulates us. As far as we are concerned, we are going to focus more on happiness and see how to create it?
Indeed, pleasure is easily accessible, it is enough to respond to one's impulses (food, entertainment, consumption, sex... etc which are only punctual).
Why should we create our happiness?
Creating happiness appears to be a necessity for the following simple and good reason: No one is going to come and offer you your happiness on a silver platter one fine morning.
Indeed, it is important to understand that happiness is a personal initiative that one proposes to start during a journey. Everybody wants to be happy, the question is how to achieve this happiness?
Before we look at how we can create our happiness, let's see why it is important to take such a step.
We live in a world where we are constantly comparing ourselves to each other. For example, social networks are an excellent arena for competition and comparison. It is very easy to fall into the trap of our society which is: eternal dissatisfaction. This is quite normal since the need is constantly created to keep the economy going (through consumption). This doesn't mean that we have to sulk our world, it wouldn't be productive. However, we must simply be aware of this and act by being awake to it and not as a slave to its impulses.
Creating your happiness is important for your self-esteem (we will discuss this point more precisely in the rest of this article).
Also, creating HIS happiness makes it possible to meet HIS aspirations according to HIS situation. This point is essential, because just as there are as many realities as there are individuals, there are many happinesses and many ways to achieve them. Therefore, the question is not to create happiness but to create one's happiness (one's own). You are therefore invited to create your own happiness, a happiness that corresponds to you.
Create your happiness and strengthen your self-esteem
How to create happiness?
To create your happiness, you must first define it and know what you want in life. Generally speaking, this is the underlying subject of personal development. Here are a few ideas to help you do this.
Personal development at the service of your life
Personal development is a process that one undertakes consciously and actively in order to develop one's full potential and create a life of one's own choosing. In personal development, we recognize that we are responsible for our own circumstances. In other words, we self-proclaim to be the (co)creators of our lives. Dev-Perso accompanies you precisely in your personal growth through inspiring and positive educational content.
Self-esteem and frustration
Happiness is directly correlated to self-esteem. Indeed, the self-esteem influences directly the relation which one has with oneself, and of this fact, with the world which surrounds us. This relation is built but can also be weakened. Indeed, one is happier with a good self-esteem, and one is more frustrated when one does not manage to be/do/have what one would like.
To be more precise, we all have aspirations that we wish to achieve. We want to be a better person, do better things, and have a better life. This is only possible through personal work. (This is the concept of BEING-DOING-DOING).
Let's get back to self-esteem and happiness. The gap between our current situation (current having) and our desired situation (desired having) is thus the expression of the gap between our current being and our desired being. The larger this gap is, the more we feel frustrated and the esteem that we have for ourselves decreases. On the other hand, the closer we get to what we want to be and what we want to achieve, the smaller the gap between our current situation and our desired situation. It is then that we reinforce the self-esteem and that we create our happiness by the reduction of this gap.
Start a personal work
In order to reduce this gap and create happiness, it is then necessary to start a personal work. The aim of this personal work is two main steps:
- To work on oneself to accept and reduce one's frustration.
- To work on oneself to progress and increase one's self-esteem.
The best is to consciously act on both components, and thus "walk with both legs". Creating happiness is therefore possible through personal work and a proactive approach.
The best investment in your life to create happiness
Thus, the best investment you can make is the one on yourself. This investment requires above all the following elements:
Will and motivation
Time to spend with you, in you, and for you
Energy and attention
Eventually, money if you wish to be accompanied (by a book, a training, a coach...etc)
