Happiness- you ask a 100 people what they want out of life, and 99 of them will say happiness. It’s our most valuable emotion but defining depends on the person.
“Happy” is a documentary that attempts to figure-out what makes people happy. “Happy” seeks to share the wisdom of traditional cultures and the cutting edge science that is now exploring human happiness. Through powerful interviews, the movie explores what makes people happy across the world.
It’s inspirational. The documentary changed Alpha’s perspective and perception about happiness. Here are two important take-aways that Alpha points out:
- The more you chase material possessions, the less happier you are because you never truly feel fulfilled.
- People have happiness levels as well. Some things directly impact that level: exercise and helping others (acts of random kindness).
Watch the documentary. It feels great to watch and to hear these stories. Alpha was given hope. We can all be happy by getting out of our own way and not focusing on extrinsic things that we *think* will make us happy.
Things that are bigger than ourselves is what creates greater happiness. So many times, we fall into the trap of materialism that something else will make you happy. Live for today and do things to make yourself fulfilled.
