The 6 Pillars of HAPPINESS
Here at KOOBROS.COM,
we strongly believe that for true and lasting happiness to prevail,
we must pursue and build it through the "6 Pillars of Happiness".
I. Physical
As one of the six pillars of happiness,
a healthy physical body will contribute greatly towards the overall happiness
of each and everyone of us. Good overall health and physical fitness
make it possible for us to do and accomplish many things in life.
Being healthy and fit will help us tremendously in pursuing our
goals, aspirations, interests or just about any activities that will
bring satisfaction and meaning to our life.
As the saying and teaching goes, our physical body is a "vehicle" for us
to seek out the true meaning and essence of life. Our body is also referred
to as a "temple" for us to carry out God's works.
If we take good care of our physical body, we will be healthy and fit
enough to work and play with minimum interruptions. We could live our
life to the maximum.
II. Mental
Mental health and fitness is the next pillar of happiness.
For most people, they could not be happy, simply because their
mental capacity is stunted due to imbalance and destructive / harmful programmings.
For example, our mindset can greatly decide how fast, how easy or
how possible it is for us to reach our goals in life and to be happy.
Most people can easily and promptly find happiness and success,
just by changing their mindset from a negative one to a positive one.
Having the ability to be in-charge of the way we think or use our brain,
can greatly help us control our life and destiny.
Thinking positively and learning to relax,
releases unnecessary pressures from our mind and
allow us to think clearer and sharper.
Being well-read and well-learnt through suitable trainings and life experiences,
can greatly increase our abilities to come up with ideas or solutions
to problems, and to better our life and the life of others.
Having sufficient self-discipline will help us choose and persist in doing
positive and constructive things that will contribute towards our overall
success and accomplishments in life.
Sufficient self-control will also help us avoid and reject any activities
that will damage our efforts and to know how to protect ourself effectively.
Remember the statement, "mind over matter" or "it is all in a state of mind"?
III. Emotional
Emotional health and fitness is the next pillar of happiness.
How we feel, greatly affect how we think.
Of course, how we think, will affect how we feel. And they will
collectively affect how we act.
Our mental and emotional faculties greatly complement and affect one another.
Without proper control of our emotion, there is no way we could think
properly.
Look at the people around you. Could you see that many of the truly unhappy
people are very emotional? Too emotional for their own good. They over-react
over minor things and happenings. They are easily angered, saddened, disappointed,
hurt, etc. They get depressed over things that are of not much relevance, and
they fret and stay unhappy for long periods of time. And of course, they bear
hatred for years, and suffer continuously through it.
Being fit and healthy emotionally means having a proper control and balance
of our emotions. Under all circumstances, we should not become overtly emotional
or allow our emotion to over react and get out of control. Being too happy or
too sad, either extreme, is no good.
To be successful and happy in life, we need to be fit and strong psychologically.
IV. Social
Socially fit and healthy is another pillar of happiness.
Being able to get along with other fellow human beings and to fit into
a community, group or society in general,
will greatly enhance our success at work, in business,
in life, pleasure and especially in finding true happiness.
"No man is an island." Yes, sooner or later, one way or another,
we have to be able to handle our communications and relationships
with others effectively.
We are not born with sufficient social skill. We need to make an effort
to learn and master it ourself. How well and effective we socialize,
can directly affect the quality of our social life and how we
get along with other fellow human beings. A person who is good at
communicating and getting along with others, tend to have a more fulfilled
life, and of course much happier.
V. Moral
Morally fit and healthy is another important pillar of happiness.
Many successful people snide at and ignore the need to have proper
moral standards. They feel that as long as they are rich, powerful and successful,
they can do whatever they want. Being moral has no hold on them.
But sooner or later, they will realise that whatever they have accomplished
in life will not matter, when nobody respects and love them for who they
are. What is the use of having all the money and power in the world,
if you are still going to end up very lonely and unhappy?
Whether we like it or not (and thank God we had to),
the world we live in subscribe to principles of good behaviour
and what is considered to be right or wrong.
This standards of behaviour considered to be
right or wrong by most people, will decide what we should or should not do
with regards to out behaviours and actions.
As each and everyone of us has to bear the responsibility and consequences of
what we think, say or do, ultimately, only a person with the right moral standard
will find himself / herself
being respected and accepted by other fellow human beings.
This can greatly affect the overall well-being of our life
and especially with regards to how happy we are.
VI. Spiritual
Spiritually fit and healthy is the last pillar of happiness but one of the
most important. Whether we believe in God or not can make a lot of different
in whether we are truly happy or not. Yes, it is a well-known fact that
people with religious belief, tend to be much happier than those who don't.
Since the beginning of time, homo sapiens who believe in and pray to
an almighty and powerful God or Gods, Angels, Immortals, Sages, etc.,
generally tend to be much happier than those who only believe in themself.
For example, during times of pains, sufferings and tribulations in life,
having someone almighty (and with infinite power)
to turn to instead of just mere mortals (with limited power & reliability)
in our life,
can make a great different in how well we cope. The tremendous amount of strength
and power we gain from our faith in the higher up being/s we believe in,
can help us handle
all sorts of challenges in life effectively. We could carry on with life,
regardless of how difficult it is because we know that everything is
going to be alright. As you can see, a religious belief, is an
infinite source of strength and power. With it, we could learn to
reduce, eliminate or just learn how to live with life's pains and sufferings.
Whatever heartaches or disillusions we get from the disappointments, pains,
betrayals, conflicts, etc. between us and other fellow human beings,
we find healing and peace through the God (or Gods) we believe in.
Yes, a believe and faith in God, make it so much easier
for us to continue to live with one another despite of our imperfections
and "mistakes". Through our belief in God,
we learn the power of forgiveness, repentance and especially love.
Ok, basically, through the 6 pillars of happiness,
we could learn to become a more "complete" individual.
While learning, experimenting and fine-tuning all the things we need to do
to become physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, morally and spiritually
fit and healthy, we would have found much more control and meaning in our life.
With the increased wisdom, seeking / finding and keeping true and lasting
happiness would become really easy. :)
Remember, someone wise once said:
Becareful of your thoughts, they will affect your words;
Becareful of your words, they will affect your actions;
Becareful of your actions, they will affect your habits;
Becareful of your habits, they will affect your character;
Becareful of your character, for it will affect your destiny!!!
Yes, what we think, say or do in our every day life, will greatly affect
our eventual destiny. One way or another, sooner or later, you have to come
to the realisation that if you are going to be happy, you must learn to
think, say and do good things that will help you accomplish just that.
Every thought, word and action is a prayer. And God answers ALL prayers,
one way or another. Becareful what you wish for!!!
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, during your waking time
(and if possible, while you are sleeping too), always think, say and do
only positive and constructive things. Learn to love yourself and others.
Avoid what is destructive and malicious, for what is evil and bad, will
always haunt those who believe and made use of it. Only through a proper
and righteous belief and way of life, can we find true happiness.
Remember, another wise person once said:
If we don't get what we want, be thankful we don't get what we deserve!
