The Happiness Angle

What is the Happiness Angle ?
 
Angled Eyes
We all studied maths and geometry in school and sometimes we just used to dread it. Angles! Acute, obtuse, right and all sorts of different angles. But did somebody teach us the most important angle of life? The angle to view our life with. The angle that I call the Happiness Angle. Probably not like all the other angles. So what is this very strange angle then ?



Amazing things happen when you look at life in an amazing way. Shut your eyes or open them and look at it differently with an added 5 degree angle to the normal 360 degree that we think we can get to. Does it make sense? If I was the reader, I would say What crap !

Let's rephrase. Looking at things differently makes one happy. 

The Questions ?


1. How can we look at Things Differently?
2. What does looking differently really mean?
3. How would it make us happy?

The Answers.

You think I am going to give you answers ;] Rethink Please. I would love to hear your answers so liberate yourself and write in the comment section below.

But I could do one thing. I can tell you a simple fact that you probably know already but keep forgetting like myself and many others. What you have to do is:

  1. Start to Look. Look at all the things around you, no matter how tiny they are. Things that you keep on taking for granted like the electricity, the clean water, the people who care, the people who clean your roads, the trees, the roads etc.
  2. Feel Things around. Look at the blooming flower, look at the deep sunset, look at a smiling child, look at the starving child, look at the beggar, look at the handicapped, look at those who are sick and weak, who have less means to change their lives. Feel it ! 

You are so Blessed. Doesn't it really make you grateful, Doesn't it make you happy? Some people look at life like this but mostly we just miss to see things in this perspective. When you look and feel things like this, it changes your outlook in life, it bring happiness. It makes you grateful and being Grateful makes you happy !!!

So, what is the simple fact ? 

Be grateful and show gratitude for all the blessings you have that others don't

How to Learn and Implement the Happiness angle ?

  1. Stop looking at things the way we get used to. Stop taking them for granted and realize their worth and importance.
  2. Start looking at those who are unfortunate, under privileged and have less so you realize how blessed you are. How much more you have.
  3. Start being grateful for all you have
  4. Start being Happy

  1. I liked this article more, because I can relate to it. I mean lots of people need to start looking at the world differently. Some of the are not grateful for what they have they should change that fact in them :)

    1. We just shift our focus and concentration on all the bad things or things we don't have. It is then that we Miss the point. Something bad happens and we are quick to find all the reasons for being unfortunate self talking like "I don't have opportunities like him/her or I don't have a family like him/her or I am not pretty like her or don't have a body like him/her." Well,did you look at the person who misses an arm, a leg or is deaf/dumb. So, I do have all these which means that I am blessed and privileged. It's just I don't want to look at it this way. ;]
