How Does Happiness Play a Role in Giving a Meaning to our Lives?

Before we start, I want you to ask yourself: What is happiness to you?

It is probably a state of mind that brings you peace, relief and satisfaction or maybe an experience that brings a beautiful smile to your face. The point is that we all want to be happy but the problem is where we look for happiness.

· Some base it on exploitation, lies, inequality or the search for a consumerist destiny.

· And a few others help more people to be happy through a simple life but destined to a prosperous and real happiness.

"BREAKING NEWS"

Many reports show that unhappiness in humanity is increasing as well as the loss of meaning in life, so much so that the WHO (World Health Organization) detected that more than 280 million people currently suffer from depression and estimates that in the next few years 10% of the world's population will suffer from depression.

"Depression is the evil of fear of living." Giving meaning to our lives requires awareness, but... what does this mean?

Consciousness

Conscience is that vigilant voice that warns us, advises us and denounces all those decisions and actions that we take in our lives, in order to assume and work on my own personality.

Sense

On the other hand, meaning is the motivations and actions of our life, as they help us analyze the consequences and ask ourselves why things happen.

It is important to know that: "You cannot live without meaning or conscience."

HISTORY OF THE EARTH (BRIEF)

Why give meaning to our lives?

Searching for meaning and awareness in our lives humanizes us and frees us from prejudices and fanaticisms; it creates a sincere search with a dialogue and a reunion of our own in our lives. If we decide to be carried away by vanity and ambition, we run the risk of wasting our lives and leading them down a path of false happiness.

Furthermore, giving meaning to life poses:

· What am I doing?

· Why am I doing this?

· What direction do I want to give to my life?

· With what attitudes do I want to live it?

· Am I really making the most of my life?

What do we need?

We must take into account that along the way we will "face different obstacles that will try to stop us" and perhaps make us throw in the towel, these types of challenges are the lack of understanding, conflict and fear, but if we decide to focus on the here and now from the situations we live, we will be able to enter into our life and find a true meaning.

However, we need to develop silence and at the same time know how to listen and have a critical awareness to overcome life's challenges...
