This is an interesting theory that I find for the most part true. We do find happiness from things that we assign it to, and the same for bad things. However, your suggestion to become emotionless, is completely off. It suggests that we become no different from a walking, talking machine. I also think this trait is impossible to adopt. Emotion is something that allows humankind to survive. If you could care less that you lost your job and can’t pay for your kid’s food; if you could care less that you just became diagnosed with cancer; if you could care less that your wife is being murdered in front of you; without pain, anger, and love, why do anything about it?

Have you ever considered that by assigning so much goodness to being neutral, the neutral becomes your happiness? You can’t be happy without making something important. If you decide that this neutral state you speak of is your good than fine, it is. So once you become neutral, it gives you happiness. This leaving the neutral to happiness gives you bad feelings because you’ve now left the neutral state you love so much. And the loop continues…

[...] More than anything though: when you stay true to yourself and be real, you feel great. [...]

Couldnt agree more ! Its the deepest truth and i am so glad to realize it that young. Hapiness is just a decision. Choose not to be affected by stories,things and situations and you are gonna be just fine. Free your mind. Think about how real and important are things that are supposed to make you feel good. Think about how stupid and unimportant are things that are supposed to make you sad. Its that simple.
Thank you,you really made my day and i have this strange feeling that its not just about today.
cheers

Hey Alex,

Be happiest by just being. Experience the now, don’t label it or associate your feelings with them. Just be.

If you disassociate yourself from situations, you stop letting them control your emotions. You just take them as is. Good experiences make you happy, since you’ll take in the positive energy, and bad experiences don’t make you feel anything.

This way, you don’t let bad things affect you. Like rude people throughout the day, or someone cutting you off while driving. They’re just external things that happened.

Here’s to not letting external forces define our happiness, and choosing to feeling good,
Oleg

every experience you have ever had – you have given to YOURSELF
every person you encounter is a reflection of an aspect of YOU
every breath you take is a GIFT
that’s why we call it the PRESENT
KARMA is a ‘doing” word
what you do today
is who you will be tomorrow
that’s why we drop drop the K
and call it Dharma
Change and Reality are synonamous
unleashing effortlessly with or without us
one beautiful wave in full rhythmic flow

so by the time you read this,
my Bravest beloved Son
your highs will be lows
your ebbs will be in flow
all you have to do is be Brave enough
to hold on and ENJOY the ride

Hey Karen!!

good to see you here more often lately

i find it really really helps. makes you realise it’s not as real as it feels.

i know it can be tough to view feelings and thoughts as a choice but it is a choice. it’s the choice to want all your compulsions and automatic judgements more than you want freedom. you want approval, you want to be safe, you want to be one – all those wants are a choice. you can choose to make them real or to let them go.

up to you

thanks for the tweet and stumble!

keep well karen!
