Why Happiness Is Like Water (animated)

[@CONSACLR]

You say thankyou for watchin. We say thankyou for sharing.

[@no_name_but_alias]

As a child I wasn't that happy because I was often different from others. As a young adult I wasn't that happy because I was trying to adapt to others. Now I'm happy simply because I stopped doing this. :-) Happiness is a decision.

[@animegirl16091]

I'm the same. It's difficult. How are you doing now?

[@no_name_but_alias]

@@animegirl16091 I'm fine. And you? * You don't need to care about what other people think. If you really do that (and not secretly pay attention to their views on you) than you are free. In fact if you give yourself permission to be who you are, those around you won't question it. They only reflect your deepest thoughts and fears. So it's in your hand. All the best and good luck! 🍀👍🤗

[@giggukbangbangbang1874]

Wouldn't that make you the "lottery winner" group? (Something fortunate happens in your case it was realizing something) After some time, doesn't the water that was shaken by the happiness from realizing that you don't have to follow others and trying to become normal, eventually go back to its calm still state? Back to water's neutral state

[@leechblarn9054]

Thank you for all your videos. I used to be unhappy and had anxiety from the mind for what it feels like a long time. I’ve tried reading spiritual books, meditating, and all that I could possibly do to try to find the peace I was looking for it I still felt the same way I did. Watching your videos has helped me immensely on remembering my true nature and of letting go and allowing the universe and so much more. You have helped someone who had trust issues with the universe and with people to the point where I would isolate myself great amounts because the outside world and inside world was too much. You have brought light to me on what letting go is and of truth. Thank you.

[@cinnamongirl3070]

Don't try to "be happy", just do what you enjoy. Makes perfect sense!! But unfortunately, not followed by the majority!

A Nobel prize winner in literature Ivo Andrić wrote this: "What doesn't hurt isn't life, what doesn't pass isn't happiness."

[@widowkeeper4739]

Yes. This is what I eventually figured out over time. Happiness is a verb, something you DO. It's like a martial art. The more you practice at it, the more adept at it you will become. After you've been practicing a long time you'll find your natural state is more often than not, contentment. It doesn't mean you'll never feel pain or cry or feel bad. It means that you will weather those intense moments of grief, sadness, and depression more easily and process them faster, returning you to that state of contentment much more quickly.

[@thechildinyou637]

Happiness according to my way is to have a inner peace...just going with the flow of life....without worrying from the future and accepting everything as the way as it is.....🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@mortalunknown8304]

I heard this from one of his videos.

[@actslore]

Remember happiness is a state of being. Trying to get fulfilled by the flesh is vanity. Accomplishing something good that you know will last forever brings happiness and contentment

Happiness is Peace of Mind. Living in the Present.

[@albertcassler8763]

I find happiness is not a destination, but a way to travel.. so doing what brings satisfaction is of course the way to go.. As a card carrying member, don't leave home without it... like a song, you can take it along... incidentally, singing puts me back into the flow where everything seems to come together...

[@babatundeswana9361]

What makes me happy is freedom, videogames /films Escorts, long walks by myself and being by myself.

That is what Einz talked about, "doing what you enjoy bring you happiness".

[@shirleyniedzwiecki1104]

That was enjoyable! Absolute (as opposed to temporary) happiness is not only possible, it’s 100% innate, or, already exists within us. However, all that running after temporary things outside of ourselves put absolute happiness to sleep and the only thing that can awaken it, is the kiss of action. What do you want? What value do you create for yourself and others? You must have a good philosophy, a good teacher and a good student, together with a seeking spirit and you’re already halfway to knowing!

The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone. You may think to yourself that you're happy. But you don't really believe it. It's only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that's what happiness felt like. - Kellogg

There’s a doc on Netflix (if it’s still there) called “Happy.” Watched it years ago and to this day, still one of the best docs I’ve ever watched. It’s basically a 90-min breakdown and exploration of the topic you have here. Recommended watch!

That is a good one too.

[@wendyindonesia]

Love your videos.... Thank you for sharing

[@gamingcollection270]

I totally agree, once I wanted to buy things to make me happy every time. I now realize that I must not do that. Because it makes only happy for a short amount of time, when it is 'new and shiny'. But once the new and shiny is gone, then it just becomes something I'm not happy about anymore. Or it just becomes an average day to day usage subject rather then that exciting new thing I purchased to become more happy in that moment.

[@brettkester1639]

So to summarize the video: you become happy by doing what makes you happy

[@Arian-gg2dq]

Man was happy until they told him to search for happiness. To find happiness you need to workout your mind.

[@Riprie]

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. -Bruce Lee

[@nero9248]

Happiness got figured out by Maslow in his Pyramid long time ago

[@RainRoseville]

Never seek happiness. For happiness will always bring with it its counterpart which is sadness. Seek CONTENTMENT instead for when you find contentment it is what it is and there will be nothing else.

[@NorseGraphic]

What is the opposite of happiness? Anxiety? Sadness? Sometimes you have to look for the opposite and compare to see in which direction lies happiness. This is what Buddha discovered; he experience both riches and poverty, and use those as a compass to see where he could find happiness. Well, that's my thoughts, anyway.

[@Einzelgänger]

I think it is suffering. But suffering could be many things. An interesting question to think about!

Opposite side of happiness is less suffering and pain. having that life is important like attaining basic necessities

Wow. I needed that ! Thank you ! What I wish to focus on right now is heightening my intuition for clearer dream learning and memory of them cause it really helps me understand more of myself - and creative writing with that ! I wish to speak of all that with my parents ! But I feel a sort of conflicted, playful annoyance at cleaning my room - Caause it’s a big mess rn - But !! In itself it is also 💖V💖 Making room for the new ! It’s just gets to be such a slow pace that I sometimes get like, RRAGGHHH!!! Annoying ! But Music and an open window makes it dope 👍🏼👍🏼💖 I kinda wanna strengthen my friendship with Mia and Maor and I really like dancing ! I also am really inspired by the concept of gardening and architectural gardening and flower pressing and these kinds of projects - But not as much as I admire artists who are deeply connected to their own emotions and have the ability and developed the skills to enhance that -> and it actually all connects together ! Because being healthy and eating healthy and taking care of one’s health heightens one’s connection to oneself, the intuition, the divinity Aaand just, overall makes you feel better. - And the connection to oneself allows deeper connection to one’s feelings ! I often detach from mine and have problems making sense of my own feelings which makes me kind of upset :/ especially cause of the heartbreak that there was, so inside there’s grieving and there’s longing and sadness but ultimately he’s with another woman right now and I hope he finds his heart back. I. I know I’m not interested at this time in my life to be wed and become a mother. I wish to first gain more courage and gratefulness towards life and friends and my projects with my family - Also plan a hang out day with Mia :O and Meitar. Maybe Maor too. And HHH Lowkey Yea, Anime. I really wanna spend time in the evenings to indulge in anime. I like learning of what food I can eat to heighten my intuition and health because I actually really like connecting to the angels ? :’D And heightening my intuition - !! Just as I wrote to present to my parents ! Heightened and clearer dream sequences ! I really love the concept of spiritual psychology big time. I really wanna speak about it to my parents! Be grateful, be grateful, with gratitude and logistics. Music, singing, windows open, cleaning my room And! Health! And talkin to my parents (once dad gets back home) That’s what I’ll do today (after eating > < ) ! *why am I focusing on that? Romance is not what I want to focus on ;;

A brilliant film director, Andrei Tarkovsky, said that we did not come here to be happy, we just came to do things. Maybe he found joy making his films and probably felt that it was enough. Perhaps we do not really need to be happy, but accept that life has a bit of pleasure, a bit of pain, and a lot of work to keep us busy 😄

There was a study done that found that obese people were significantly more likely to have been sexually abused in the past. They know they should eat less but the over eating is a coping mechanism for dealing with the tremendous pain that they feel. This video is the equivalent of telling those obese people, eat less. "Be happy by meditating and doing things that make you happy."

Why should I do this, why should I do that, what is the meaning behind, does it make sense (aka brain fucking;D) e.g. I wanted to paint and then asked myself "what for?" or "What sense does it make to move, to do sports" and so on (in the meantime I know :)) This is the answer.
