Happiness Is a Global Goal



It has been so enlightening to me that people around the globe have been reading my blogs on happiness. Just to list a few:

United States

 
Russia

 
Germany
 
 
United Kingdom

 
South Korea

 
Sweden
 
France
 
Italy

 
Ukraine

 
Latvia

 
Malaysia

 
Australia
 
Saudi Arabia

 

I wish my list would include Iran, Syria, North Korea, Israel, Palestine and Africa.   I know those people want happiness as much as anyone else in the world. Maybe the governments don't give them free access so they can read my blogs. 

Just think of a world where everyone (including the government) believed that happiness was the forgotten ingredient. Maybe if all of them read my latest book "Happiness The Forgotten Ingredient" we could focus more on happiness than war, poverty, riches, classes, political positions, religion, God, Allah, sexual orientation, death, revenge and negative energy laws.

Maybe I'm just dreaming, but I do believe that generations beyond me will come to the conclusion that happiness is want we all want out of life. All the other shit that's been and going on in this world is not working for anybody. The terrorists are not happy even after they kill. The protectors are not happy even if they kill a few terrorists. The  Shia and Sunni are not happy even if they become the majority and rule the minority. The Israelites or the Palestinians are not happy unless they get their own country. And in the event that should ever happen in the future they will still feel the other hates them.

The ultra conservatives and the ultra-left in the Unites States will never agree on everything and therefore never try to come to a reasonable agreement so both can live in a world full of happiness. The ultra-religious and the non-religious will never agree on many issues and therefore, will never be happy outside their closed group.

Will governments ever stop making war?  Will terrorism ever end? Will people ever accept, respect and encourage people that think and act different than us find a way to love each other?  I believe that day is coming. Unfortunately it may not happen in the 26 years I have left. But, I still believe it will happen because the alternative is just not working.

I strongly believe something will bring us all together. Maybe a visitor from a distant planet will make happiness happen. Maybe the children of today or 100 years from today will say enough is enough and change the world. Maybe Mother Nature will cause a calamity so severe that those of us who are left will agree to focus on happiness. Maybe we will be able to live on another planet and the ones sent there will create a life full of happiness. Maybe a nuclear war will break out and what remain after the dust settles is a people who will never make war again. 

Yes, I believe there will be a world where happiness is everyone's goal. I just hope it happens for positive reasons (Aliens from another planet or the children of the future) not negative reasons (Mother Nature or nuclear war).

We should not feel helplessness in this transition from negative energy to global happiness. We can do something right now. It's simple, create happiness for ourselves. Don't buy into negative energy. Don't encourage negative energy from our spouse, friends and family. Love unconditionally even if you don't get what you want.

I believe it starts with each and every one of us. The way we act will "pay it forward" to the way others act. Please don't wait to make yourself happy. If we take too long one of the negative reasons will find its way to force us all to come together. The problem is if that happens how many of us will still be around and what will the Earth look like when the negative reason happens.

Happiness is the global goal. We have the power to make it happen in a positive way. I'm doing my part. I'm counting on YOU to do your part.
