What contributes to our happiness

Hi

Let's talk about what we all strive for... happiness.

Dr. Martin Seligman, President of the American Psychological Association, says that there are 5 factors that contribute to our happiness:

Pleasure
Achievement
Relationships
Engagement, and
Meaning

Of these, meaning is the most important.

When our daily actions fulfill a bigger purpose, the most powerful and enduring happiness can happen.

Let’s talk about how making money contributes to our happiness…

Many people not only misunderstand how to make money but also how it makes us happy.

I believe that financially wealthy people are those who have enough money coming in without having to work to finance their purpose in life.

In other words, to be financially wealthy, you must have a purpose for your life.

Without purpose, you’ll never know when you have enough money, and you can never be financially wealthy.

It isn’t that having more money won’t make you happy. To a point, it certainly can.

But then it stops.

For more money to continue to motivate you will depend on why you want more.

Wanting more money just for the sake of getting it won’t bring the happiness you seek from it.

Happiness happens when you have a bigger purpose than having more fulfills, which is why…

happiness happens on the way to fulfillment.

When you have a definite purpose for your life, clarity comes faster, which leads to more conviction in your direction, which leads to faster decisions.

When you make faster decisions, you will end up with the best choices.

And when you have the best choices, you have the opportunity for the most success.

This is how having a purpose leads you to the best possible outcome life has to offer.

The best way to achieving lasting happiness happens when you make your life about something bigger, when you bring meaning and purpose to your everyday actions.

So the question is on you…

What’s your biggest purpose in life?

What’s the thing that gets you up in the morning?

My purpose in life is using the powerful and scalable influence of the internet to induce influential change and positivity.
