Few people are happy.
Most of the people I know are neutral or unhappy, and most of the people I meet sure don’t look happy!
Happy people really stand out, partly because they’re so rare. Since hardly anybody does it, it’s easy to assume that being happy is complicated, or there’s some secret you have to know, or maybe you have to be born with a certain gene.
While people are born with an innate level of happiness or happiness set point, and circumstances also influence how happy you are, you still have the power to make yourself have the power to make yourself happier.
Surprisingly, 50% of our happiness levels come from genetics, and only 10% from circumstances, leaving 40% that we can control. Why are so many people unhappy? It’s actually pretty simple. The thing that keeps most people from being happy is fear.
Unhappiness comes from fear. There are two main fears: the fear of not having enough, and the fear of not being enough.
If you think about it, it makes sense. All the worries about money, job security, possessions, bigger houses, and power come from the fear of not having enough.
The worries about what other people think, not being loved, not being able to do something well, or getting fired come from the fear of not being enough.
Whatever your fears are, wherever they come from, please give them away and be happy.
