That’s a broad-broad statement we are talking about. How to be happy can be a very tricky subject to deal with. Happy is very subjective, and the definition is different for every individual. But how about the majority of people? What do they want, and how they may achieve it?

Today in this episode, we will be discussing two things:

  1. How to define happiness?
  2. And how to achieve happiness?

Having a lot of money doe not mean it will solve all your problems. Usually, a regular family deals with a lot of economical crunch in the family. This causes the family to face restrictions in terms of buying sufficient food for the family or sacrificing vacations and official trips. The ladies end up selling their ornaments at the time of crisis and hence all the problems in life become the lack of money.

Trust me, it’s just one of the many situations.

Imagine you have all the money in the world. Let’s say you are the richest in your society, now you will have different problems to deal with. It can be related to your business, it can be related to political power or it can be amongst the family.

Problems are bound to be a part of your life, it’s like friction, which exists because it’s a part of this physical world. And the most widely accepted phenomenon for the people of this world, irrespective of their economical condition is, to be able to spend a life that is problem-free.

So how you can solve this problem? How can you have a life without problems?

There is an effective solution to this, that I always speak about with my clients. You can have a life without problems by replacing the term problem with a task. Embrace the problems in your life like you were appointed for it to solve and face. Does not matter if you are trained or not, but that is the job that you and only you can solve it. If you want a team to solve that task, good, go ahead and assemble your team of Avengers and cut through it. Do not sit and complain about it, rather take the mantle to face it.

If it is so simple then when don’t we call it a task from the beginning, why do we call it a problem?

Problems were named when the task was difficult for everyone to solve, and hence it does not mean that it is insolvable, rather it means it would need a few extra efforts to solve.

What is the definition of a happy life?

Broadly speaking, it means to lead a life that offers you the satisfaction of the day you spent before going to a night of sleep. A life that lets you smile when you wake up and a life that gives you abundant friends and loved ones around you.

I am a loner, and I love it that way, does it mean I am not having a Happy Life?

If that makes you happy for the whole future years that you are going to spend on this planet, then why not. You must have achieved the position and the money to be able to spend the rest of your life. You should be seriously proud of it.

As I told you, only having money with you is not going to solve your problems. You need mental peace, a few goals to fulfil and a reason to live. That is what makes people happy.

I know people who love to work continuously for several days, without a break and they are pretty happy with such a life, but here is a point to note. They are not happy because they are able to work for several days, but they are so passionate about the job that they forget to take some rest in order to keep the body and its functions regulated. Madame Curie died of her invention, does that make her lead a sad life? No, she was happy that she died after giving birth to an important invention.

How to achieve Happiness:

Next time you are chasing happiness, you need to be very sure about what you want from this life first. Only when you are sure about it, all you need is, “Prioritise the responsibilities of your life and tasks”.

Once the priorities are set, work like you have to change the world with your work. Make your work completely unbiased, and achieve perfection in whatever you do. Doing these simple exercises will not only lead you to happiness but will also offer you the path of success, that you were never even aware of.

Suddenly you will become lucky, and god knows how but more and more offers will start coming to you, in whatever you pursue. You will feel like the world was waiting for you to come and make things better.

Do you think the legends were born different, all they did differently was the amount of focus they would put into. They prioritised their problems into a task and dealt with them like they are the champions.

Let’s live a life which is full of tasks, and zero problems.
