Happiness Takes Effort. Misery, Not So Much. Mastery Newsletter December 30, 2015
“Remember, misery is comfortable. It’s why so many people prefer it. Happiness takes effort.”
That quote from a powerful article called:
Six harsh truths which will make you a better person
It IS tough reading. However, it seems as if it CAN make me a better person. Nails me to the wall, kinda.
See if you find yourself squirming while reading it. That’s probably a good sign.
These are the Six Points:
- The world only cares about what it can get from you
- The hippies were wrong
- What you produce does not have to make money, but it does have to benefit people
- You hate yourself because you don’t do anything
- What you are inside only matters because of what it makes you do
- Everything inside you will fight improvement
Main Lesson I got from this:
We need to be DOING something and that something needs to benefit others.
Great treasures and great joy flow from that. The more we benefit others, the more treasures and joy we will have.
Enjoy the uncomfortable read. 😉
In keeping with the point of the article, I wish you the energy, drive and enthusiasm to Create a Joyous 2016.
Love, Laughter and Smiles.
Matti

You are important. Not just important, but just as important as any person on the planet, now, in past history or in the future. Everything you say, do and feel has an impact on the universe and everything and everyone in it.
