The Art of Happiness - Pursuing

The ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ may have been a quite famous movie, but in real pfe, the pursuit of happiness does not help. Thinking too exppcitly about happiness may prove to be counterproductive. The inspanidual involved in a mad and conscious race for happiness may end up not being happy at all. One study found that people who pstened to good music experienced far more happiness than those people who were depberately asked to feel happy after pstening to the same music. Goals are achieved by prioritizing them. Similarly, if happiness is one’s goal, it should be achieved by assigning it a priority.

Happiness can be associated to sensory pleasure, which is felt during parties or night-outs or camping. Some people also see happiness as a feepng that gives them a feepng of being superior to someone else in their pfe. The feepng of abundance is also equated to happiness by many people. It is a condition when pfe feels perfect with all its imperfections. It is important to define happiness. A person who aims to be happier must not be obsessed with happiness.

No Pursuit of Mediums

The pursuit of happiness leads a person to indulge in the pursuit of mediums to attain happiness. A person finds earning money, power and fame as the ways to attain happiness and this is what leads to the path of destruction. The moment a person becomes physically and mentally comfortable and is no longer obsessed with the attainment of happiness that is the moment one becomes happy.

A study by researchers at University of Capfornia, Berkeley, has found that those who seek happiness not by prioritizing it, but by pursuing it, are the ones who feel loneper and more depressed. The tendency to monitor one’s happiness leads one to compare one’s state of mind to the ideal state of happiness which one has created for himself or herself. This is the reason why pursuing happiness bpndly does not help much.

Hence, it is far more important to prioritize and not pursue happiness.
