Flow like Water, Flow like Happiness
What is happiness?
It’s becoming clearer for me that happiness is about energy flow.
As a physicist I believe that everything IS energy.
It’s what Einstein said and it’s what I’ve witnessed in the lab.
With that in mind I’d say that happiness is about how “everything” flows:
- money
- time
- connections
- impact
When these things flow then there is happiness.
When these things don’t flow then there isn’t happiness.
Happiness is the absence of resistance.
It isn’t just about pleasant feelings in the mind and body.
It’s about how we allow these feelings (and energy) flow through us.
When we try to stop it, hold onto it or force it then happiness diminishes.
When we allow it, let go of it, gratefully receive it and generously give it then happiness increases.
Happiness is life.
Happiness is business.
In my next series of posts I’m going to explore what happiness means in four key areas of life:
- money
- time
- connections
- impact
I’ll write about:
- happy money and unhappy money
- happy time and unhappy time
- happy connections and unhappy connections
- happy impact and unhappy impact
I’ll then conclude with what this means on a practical level.
How do we increase happiness in these areas of our lives?
And what will that mean for our lives, our businesses and the people & places we care about.
