Secret 2: The happiness tripod

In my first post, we know that we are the captain who steer the ship of our own life, right? And we wish to direct it to a happy-wonderland, don’t we?

So captain, have you ever asked yourself what you need to have in order to achieve 100% happiness, meaning you’re absolutely satisfied in every aspect of your life?

Some people would come out with a long long long list of what they want: big car and big house, high income and high status, great friends and great partner, nice body and nice branded goods, blah and blah…

In short, there are 3 main concentrated factors that appear when a person possesses “the ultimate happiness”: finance, health, and relationship. I consider them as the 3 legs of the happiness tripod (see image)

I call it a tripod simply because when any of the 3 legs is weak or missing, you’ll find your life out of balance or worst of all – collapsed. After all, a well-balanced life is what most people aim for. (The key word is “balance”) Yes, we all need 3 of them to be strong. We all long for them. We are all working hard to achieve them. Don’t we?

I guess the tripod is interesting. But it is not the answer for my initial question: “What do you need to have in order to achieve 100% happiness?”

Now, don’t be confused. Let’s say we are going to participate in a race to the “ultimate happiness”. That balanced tripod will be the medal given at the end of the race. My question focuses on what we need to have at the moment in order to complete the race. (Yeah, now it’s no more confusing hehe)

As simple as running a marathon, you need nothing but yourself, my friends. That’s the answer: all you need is a right you.

Why a “right you”? Again, as simple as running a marathon, the athletes need to be physically trained. We, the marathoners on the race to our ultimate happiness also need to be trained well, but mostly mentally.

Now the question is: how to be a “right you”? Secrets will be revealed further in coming posts

From Ruby,

For your happiness
