Instant Happiness

You can feel happier in just one minute by first understanding a few important facts. "Happiness could be defined as the emotion of progress toward desirable goals. There is an instant of contemplation* of the last goal in which one is content. But contentment becomes boredom immediately that new goals do not come to view. There is no more unhappy thing than a man who has accomplished all his ends in life." -- L. Ron Hubbard (*contemplation = thoughtful observation; meditation) Let's examine three parts of this definition.

Who Do You Want to Be?

Question: What is the best personality or the best identity for you to assume? Answer: Anything you want! A cheerful friend, a businesslike executive, a caring listener. Whatever is best at the time. Different circumstances require different attitudes. For example, to be a bossy manager at work might be appropriate, but you might drive your spouse crazy if that identity comes home with you. To be a rowdy sports fan at a game is great, but not who you should be when asking for a raise. The reason people have trouble determining who or what they should BE is because . . . they don't start with HAVE. "Children in the West are commonly asked `What are you going to BE when you grow up?' It is a silly question and can drive any child up the wall. Because it's the wrong question -- it hits the wrong end of the cycle." "The child is also asked, `What are you going to DO in life?' That's just as bad. It is quite difficult to answer." "If we asked children, `What do you want to PRODUCE in life?' we could probably get a workable answer. From that they could figure out what they'd have to do to produce. And from that, they could know what they had to BE. Then, with a little cooperation they would be able to lead a happy and valuable life." "A lot of people and businesses fail because they don't do this." -- L. Ron Hubbard
