THEY ARE NOT MAD, JOIN THEM
THEY ARE NOT MAD, JOIN THEM
Everybody has this one friend that seem to remain calm no matter what life throws at them. We also have friends that find a way to smile and stay happy even in the fiercest storms. Their ability to stay calm, find a silver lining in dark clouds attracts our admiration. But at some point, it can seem like madness. How can someone maintain calmness and even find a way to be happy in fierce storms? Isn't that weird? bizzare? Crazy? Can't they see the gravity of the crisis? Are they wallowing in oblivion? The questions that run in our heads are endless.
But you see, people that remain calm and find a way to be happy even in the face of daunting challenges aren't crazy as you might think. They are also not wallowing in oblivion. They know the gravity off the crisis. I mean, they wear the shoe and they know where it pinches, better than you can ever imagine. Why do they still remain calm and seek happiness? There are many reasons for this but I'll touch on the one I perceive to have great importance.
You see, scientists have figured that whenever we are calm, our brain functions like a Christmas tree; like a house full of lights. We can see things clearly and make good decisions. As a matter of fact, research has shown that people that can trigger their mind into a calm state are more likely to make better decisions in life. On the contrary, if you are angry or agitated or nervous, you brain reverts back; more like turning off the lights in a building. No wonder, all you see is darkness whenever you allow yourself to be bugged about a challenge you are facing.
You see, your response to what life throws at you (whether challenges or opportunities) will more than anything else determine your life's trajectory. And nothing influences the way you respond to things like the state you are in at that point in time.
If you manage your state, you can manage your responses to life's events. And if you can manage your responses to life's events, you can chart a better course for your life.
In your quest to manage your state, it's important to pursue virtues that can help you with the process. And one of the first you should seek is happiness. Happy people are grateful people and grateful people always find something to be thankful for even in the worst circumstances. And you can't be both grateful and depressed or sad at the same time.
What's the most intriguing part of seeking happiness? Its starts from within. Your efforts to find happiness have been frustrated because you were seeking it in "without" and not "within".
Join the team of those who are happy today by committing to a life of gratitude and seeking joy in the basic things of life like the air you breathe and the life you've been given.
