Redefining Happiness (JayShetty)

Once, a primary school teacher set an assignment to a group of students. She asked them what they wanted to be when they grew up And Some wrote down #Astronaut, others wrote down #Actor, some wrote down #Singers and the others wrote down #Scientists.

And when she was marking through their papers she noticed that one of the boys wrote down the word , "happy".
She went up to him and she said, "John, I think you misunderstood the assignment." And he said, " Miss, I think you misunderstood life".

Somewhere along the life our definition of success became blurred, it became about money. And it's funny how the desire for #power and #wealth increases the speed at which we believe we need to work. So that we can Supersede our peers in the rat race. Moving at a pace that no fit bit or no wearable can truly monitor or analyze the stress and the intensity . Since we're been young we've all been exposed to definitions of happiness. The Scientists a d the Mathematicians have algorithms and formulas that they believe adds up to the equation of happiness.

We have the corporate professionals, we have the corporate hierarchy of actually #promotion and career progression to mesure their #success. We need to define what success means for us. We need redefine what success means.
✓ Let's not make happiness and success about the size of our homes but about the size of our 💓 heart.
✓ Let's not make it about gratification but gratitude.

We speak about beign #healthy and our well-beigns and therefore instead of to-do lists we need to-be lists. Instead of thinking about what you want to do think about who you want to be.

DO YOU WANT TO BE MORE SELF-AWARE? DO YOU WANT TO BE MORE CONSCIOUS? DO YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON? DO YOU WANT TO VE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD?
We need to move away from what we want to do in the world? We need to move away from what we want to do in situations to who we want to be in situations.

The three most common things that we forget when we're rushing out of our homes is our keys, our wallet, or our mobile phone.

And it's absolutely hilarious how you run back inside. You look in all your drawers, you look in your desk, you make a mess sometimes, and then how many times have you had it that you realized that it was actually in your back pocket? Sometimes even in your hand. And it's #funny that our experience of #happiness is so similar to this. We run around trying to find it in absolutely every place. But actually when we come back home we find out that it's within. When I was in my teens, I head a fascinating #quote from #jim_carrey . And he said,

"Everyone should become rich and famous and do everything they dreamed of just to see that it's not the answer." And what did he mean by that? He meant that actually what we've searching for is not out there, but inside.
And therefore Happiness is actually an Inside Job.
