Money can't buy you happiness, but can happiness buy you money?

Serious question really. You know there are plenty of people who have plenty of money, but it isn't making them happy. And lots of people who learned to be happy in life, but struggle with having enough money. Looks like an ideal value exchange waiting to happen!

Everywhere, online and in real life, I see people being angry, bitter, depressed, even suicidal because of what looks to me as silly little emotional issues that can be overcome with some simple changes of perspective, some bodywork practices and lifestyle changes. 

Emotional mastery is something I've been developing through enduring and growing through many kinds suffering & discomfort, synthesizing what I've learned from psychology and philosophy, as well as my experiences with yoga and spirituality. I would say this is a gift I would like to  share this with the world...

What would be some great opportunities to test and refine this skill in real life, interacting with people directly as opposed to just conversing and posting material online? This I can ask about volunteer opportunities, I'm considering volunteering at a depression/suicide crisis center.

When ready, I would also need to choose a medium as for how I'm going to provide value by uplifting others. Become a life coach who specialized in happiness coaching?

Are you happy yourself if your going to become a life coach specialised in happiness coaching?. Do you know why people suffer in the first place?

You definitely could start some sort of coaching practice geared towards serving successful people who haven't yet found their happiness. You would have to immerse yourself around people who are successful and network with them if you wanted to pull that off.

Not being happy is kind of the first ingredient to become rich. If you are already happy there is no need for change, nothing to manipulate to.

Somehow I had to think about all the self help books and spiritual teachings out there. People exchange money for these kind of things. So you could write a book or hold a seminar.

I think its really hard to master your emotions and most people dont even know that they could benefit so much from it.

So maybe first start to spread awareness about emotional mastery.

I learned how to choose happiness through dealing with life and getting in touch with my emotional states and thought patterns, also with physical practices, particularly breathwork. Only thing I've unhappy about recently is my financial future, or lack of money security, and not having the kind of material provisions for living a financially independent minimalist lifestyle. I had some brief bouts of depression this year feeling miserable in my present situation, and which each one developed more resilience, dug deeper into my psyche and reprogrammed myself for positivity and gratitude. This is one of many examples of ways in which I develop emotional mastery, evolving to embody a blissful state regardless of my circumstances, so I could be dirt poor or filthy rich and still radiate happiness. 

The flipside, which might seem negative to a lot of people, is that extreme emotional mastery is the ultimate coping mechanism. They were borne of feelings of helpless victimhood, being faced with unpleasant realities I felt powerless to change, and so I turned inward and conquered the domain of my internal world. Whereas more normal people are motivated by negative emotions to change the things which they perceive to be the cause. Prime example of this is that I try to help lonely guys or 'incels' learn to be happy alone and accept the reality of human sexual dynamics. So my niche would be along the lines of self-acceptance and internal mastery, whereas most self-improvement guides would try to get guys to keep trying harder and change themselves to become more attractive. 

I will be talking to people I know and see about what trainings would be best, and find some environments to further test & refine my ability to uplift others.

No need for it, correct. But that doesn't mean you don't desire to.

You can really unleash your potential when you don't have money over your head stressing you out.

I mean you could say why not take it further and see how you could solve this puzzle?

Its fun for many!

you don't need money to be happy, you don't need happiness to be money
