The Happiness Problem

[freddyteisen]

How do I reconcile this (it’s hard to accept):

1. That I can Be Happy Here and Now.

Yes. I know I can stand at the corner of a street with the Sun hitting my face and BE HAPPY.

And that The only thing keeping me unhappy is…

…the stories in my mind.

2. Being happy surviving, chasing, doing

But what about Contributing to mankind, building cool projects, building businesses and accumulating wealth?

How do I balance being Happy NOW and still building cool businesses???

Is true happiness then Now? Or only WHEN you’ve build that business?

And What separates me and the beggar on the street? the stories in my mind?

The “idea” that you have more “value” than the beggar?

could you sit like the beggar and be happy.Needing nothing else than right Now?

This is not easy, how do I build a business and still be happy now?

The body doesn't care about happiness, the mind does. Happiness doesn't care who's  happy, it comes and goes as a response. Happiness doesn't have a problem. The one that claims it does.

Happiness if the foundation of BEINGNESS, which should come before You do any action or have anything via an action taken.. the formula is simple first BE-->then DO --->then HAVE, most do it backwards they DO then HAVE then try to BE but get stuck,then suffering results... Happiness/BEingness allows all Your Potential to come up from within, when no stress is present in Your Life all your facilities and intelligence, attributes are optimized, Your in the Zone all the time, ready to be creative, endless energy and no minds games in your head thinking of failure and what ifs, just set the foundation right by establishing Your BEING then go out and do and get what You deserve!

Look at yourself in the mirror. Then look at the mirror you aren't there its a solid surface. You are looking into a solid surface and pretending that you exist. Then look at a fork its a metal surface you look into the fork and see yourself. This is delusion. There is nothing but the surface of a fork and mirror and glass pane. The idea of your reflection is taking your happiness. You seen in any reflection is a self created metaphysical concept. Human are living in a metaphysical fiction created the same way you create other people via a reflection on a solid surface.
