Posted By Vanessa on April 7, 2010
I’ll have to add this to my list of books to read. According to the article, Rubin took a year to learn how to be happy and each month had a different task.
What I found interesting was that right down at the bottom, she talks about how she actually gets a lot of ‘push-back’ from people who think that happiness is a topic not worth discussing and a goal that is not worth having.
Wow. They must be loads of fun to hang around with.
Happiness is a state of mind that really depends how we see the situations in our lives each day. you can have all the riches in the world but still see it as a lonely place.~,’
Very true. I think that is the idea behind Marci Shimoff’s ‘Happy For No Reason’: that if we allow exterior circumstances to determine whether we are happy or not we will never be able to feel secure in our happiness. And, certainly, the link between happiness and wealth is super-tenuous as I talk about here.
Happiness is the goal of every human being in this planet , everyone wants to be happy*.”
true happiness can be difficult to achieve, you can be rich but still not be truly happy .-~
