What does a sense of happiness depend on?
The feeling of happiness depends on many factors. However, it is us, regardless of our current objectively or subjectively perceived life situation, who can feel happy or unhappy. Mostly it depends on our thoughts about happiness, it depends on ourselves whether we allow ourselves to feel happy.
Some thoughts related to the content of H. D. Thoreau’s book.
"Most people, (…) as a result of sheer ignorance and faulty reasoning, are so preoccupied with contrived cares and excessively heavy duties that they fail to reap the more beautiful fruits of life."
Sense of happiness and God’s guidance
No matter what life situation I find myself in, I feel happy because I believe and know that God is watching over me. He has already protected me from death several times. He blesses me and my wife, He blesses our marriage, I have something to eat and a place to live: these are additional facts that also provide a sense of happiness.
Feeling happy according to the “happiness no matter what” method (“feeling happy for no reason”)
it is possible to feel happy regardless of other people, regardless of the amount of accumulated goods (things), regardless of other factors on which people make their feeling of happiness dependent, it is simply possible to feel happy ALWAYS, every day.
What do people find happiness in?
People look for happiness in different activities, they look for happiness in having things, they look for happiness in different kinds of experiences, stimulants, etc. We want to feel good and this is natural. In order to 'catch up' with happiness, people create plans whose implementation is supposed to lead them to feel happy.
Our limitations and fears
What limits us? Why don't we feel full happiness? I think one of the main reasons is the fears we experience. If we got rid of the fears, our sense of happiness would be at a higher level.
An excerpt from my fourth book “Happiness – reflections of a 51-year-old”.
In my opinion, it is possible to be a happy person, to experience happiness to a high degree and at the same time to expect and expect even more happiness than you are experiencing. This is exactly how it is in my life. It hasn't always been like this, but more than fifty years of life are doing their job.
Some thoughts on generosity
In my opinion, this is a good and useful quality. We have everything from God, if we are doing well, earning well, accumulating assets, then we can and should be generous to other people. Some say that the good given to people comes back to us. If you are generous then remain so, because God in His generosity bestows His gifts and graces on you.
Take matters into your own hands, be proactive.
What your current life looks like depends mainly on you. External factors can be (and often are) beyond your control, but you should take responsibility for your life, for what it looks like.
