Your thoughts please: What are the most important personal qualities?

Obviously technical skills are important in life. But it’s other qualities that make you a good person, a good human being. Someone, in other words, who leads a good life. Does the question seem random? In fact, it’s intrinsically connected with the pursuit of humane and skillful wisdom. I’ll follow up on this question in the future. So what do you think? If you’re unsure, … Continue reading Your thoughts please: What are the most important personal qualities?

On Choosing Happiness

Provided by Anthony Garner from https://zenothestoic.com/ I believe on any number of counts, including personal experience, that we have the power to choose to be happy but that the road is not altogether straightforward. Our philosopher friends would tell us that happiness is a “quale” – one of a number of different “qualia” which we humans can experience. Qualia are subjective conscious experiences and other examples include … Continue reading On Choosing Happiness

Tiredness

Hi all, I want to talk about tiredness today. Specifically, how tiredness is closely tied to the mind. According to some, some (or most or all) illnesses are caused by psychological issues. Illnesses are reflections of underlying psychological problems. I also believe that at least some illnesses are like this. However, my point today is that it is not only illnesses but also some of … Continue reading Tiredness

Happiness is…

Those are some very interesting dots because they represent different things for different people. For some it’s a fat bank account, for others it’s a walk into the nature. Happiness is a journey, a destination and a forbidden word. It’s everything and nothing. For some it’s sweat and pain towards something whilst for others it’s avoiding them. You see, we’re all hungry for happiness and … Continue reading Happiness is…

The Pursuit of Happiness – Reblog

   I remember I posted this video a while back and I find it even more powerful and insightful when I watched it today. We want happiness without knowing what it means and most of the time we’re sad because we can’t get that. We confuse having things with happiness when actually things bring joy (at most). This is a tough subject. I hope I’ll find … Continue reading The Pursuit of Happiness – Reblog

Who is responsible for your happiness?

   This is a question not easy to answer. We are used to place this happiness into so many people and things that we might forget one essential thing: we are responsible for our own happiness. But what does this mean?    In my opinion, this means that we shouldn’t wait for someone else to make us happy. Yes, we can be happy with someone … Continue reading Who is responsible for your happiness?

Is the number of thoughts we have related to our level of happiness?

   I was going to say intelligence instead of number of thoughts, but it’s a subject way too big to be fitted in a simple post. I’ve heard in many places that dumb people are happier. Is that true? If so, why is it true? What defines a person to be dumb? According to The School of Life (more specifically, in this video),  “in the … Continue reading Is the number of thoughts we have related to our level of happiness?
