Finding Happiness - What the Pursuit is All About
2008-06-09 17:29:00 By Eric Eliacin  http://ezinearticles.com/?expe rt=Eric_Eliacin What is happiness? How do we achieve it? People all over the world have struggled over these questions for centuries. The truth is, the answers have always been out there! Every American has heard the phrase “the pursuit of happiness,” but not a lot of people understand what it really means. “Happiness ” is not something you must strive for; instead, happiness is something you achieve via the pursuit of another goal. People don’t wake up some time in their lives and say, “I’m happy now.” Everyone must find his or her own unique path to happiness. So how do you find your path? First, picture yourself in a perfect world. Try not to think of the cliché fantasy of a sandy beach drinking a piña colada. Instead, try to think of what changes you would make to your current situation to make it ideal. Would you prefer a different job? Do you wish you had a be...
Happiness in 5 Steps
2008-06-09 17:23:00 By Mel Mcintyre http://ezinearticles.com/?exper t=Mel_Mcintyre Ah, happiness; that elusive state everybody wants a piece of. But we spend so much time searching for it that we overlook the obvious. Unlike some of the other essentials in life, such as money, food, clothing, etc., this one doesn’t exist outside of us. If you really want to be happy and aren’t just fond of the idea of being happy, you have the means at your disposal to create your own happiness any time you wish. Here are five of the more common things you can do to boost your spirits and feel great without spending a dime! 1. Grin & Wear It Is your glass always half-empty? Half of something is better than nothing. Half a bottle of champagne is still champagne. If you can afford that, you’ve got more than most people will ever have. It sounds corny, but contented people really do think positive. The ability to see the good points in others or to make the most of a situation can easily put a smile ...

The Psychology of Guilt
2008-06-09 17:13:00 By Mark I Myhre http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=M ark_I_Myhre Guilt exists as a fabricated emotion. It holds little or no realness. It’s hard to call it a real emotion. You see, a real emotion is one that has both a positive and a negative side. Love, fear, hate, anger, sadness, happiness and so many other emotions all have both a positive and a negative component. Not guilt. Guilt is all negative. It adds nothing to your existence. Sure, many people use it as a motivator: “I’ll feel guilty if I don’t do this.” It’s called an ‘expedient motivator’. Meaning, it’s used when you lack principle-based motivation. It’s a cheap way to inspire action in yourself and others. Guilt basically comes down to manipulation. The function - the purpose - of guilt involves manipulating yourself and others to take some sort of action or to feel some sort of way. Guilt punishes. Both yourself and those around you. Guilt contributes nothing. ... More About: Psychology

Your Core Essence & Your Value System - Keys to Becoming an Extraordinary L
2008-06-03 15:45:00 I believe the primary characteristic of a great leader is core essence. A leader must understand that there is a power greater than oneself and that their life purpose is more about others than themselves -- their CORE ESSENCE - the fundamental reason for being here. Your CORE ESSENCE is the key element which drives you in doing what you do best. Many have gone on personal journeys to discover why they are here? We've all heard of people "trying to find oneself", in actuality they are searching for their purpose for being here on earth. It's a journey we all should go on.

Three Weird (But Effective) Methods Of Improving Self Esteem
2008-05-29 17:17:00 Improving self esteem is something that will benefit every area of your life. Research shows that approximately 70% of the population suffers with low self-esteem, and in some ways, it is the great epidemic of our time. Lack of confidence and self-esteem causes us to make poor decisions, and to set our goals and expectations far too low. As a result, many people become underachievers and end up settling for less than they deserve out of life. More About: Weird , Self Esteem , Methods , Effective , Esteem

When I Am 99, I?ll Eat Whatever I Want
2008-05-28 16:09:00 I think that we are taught to defer enjoyment. That to enjoy ourselves RIGHT NOW is wrong; that we have to defer pleasure until some magic moment when it is all okay. But will that moment ever come? Will we die before then? Will we break a leg so badly that we can never walk well again and so miss out on that European walking vacation of which we have always dreamed? Actually, that is not one of my dreams, but you get the idea.

And when you love yourself, anything is possible. http://www.syzygyjewelry.com
