Rich Beyond Words

Wow! I read in the Mind power news Journal that I live in one of the happiest countries in the world!

The research was done by Adrian White, an analytic social phychologist at the University’s School of Psychology. He anaysed data published by UNESCO, the CIA, the New Economics Foundation, the WHO, the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the Afrobarometer, and the UNHDR, to create a global projection of subjective well-being: the first world map of happiness.

Anyway Austria is 3rd on the list with Denmark being 1st and Switerland is 2nd. Actually I was very surprised when I read this because I often encounter complaining individuals. In fact I’ve met more complainers here than in other places of the world.

If you look at my contact page you’ll see that I’m often in South Africa as well. Even though they have power failures, crime and no sopcial security I find the folks there to be a rather happy bunch. Must be the African sun.

But the fact remains that the Happiness Map was constructed according to these facts - Countries that have easy access to health facilities, individual wealth and access to education contain happy people. I must admit that Austria does have all that - it’s quite a social system. Apparently capitilism does not make people happy.

You can get all the details here.

Anyway to show you how i happy I am here’s a picture of me working in my pjamas!

Any one that can work from home in their pjamas has a reason to be happy!

It wasn’t always this way - I used to have the blues - not because I was picking cotton - just because…. I just decided to get happy cos i was so sick and tired of myself. I didn’t do it with feel good drugs - Don’t laugh I did it by listening to CD’s at night while I slept.

It was about that time whilst listening to the CD’s I thought to myself , “Hmmn now all I need is to learn how to make money online so I can stay at home.” So I promptly looked around and did Tellman Knudson’s Ultra Marketing Course which is all explained in baby steps and got me up and going.

Seriously I’m always learning and finding things to take my level of happiness further.

Another thing I’ll say is that I find the statement about how money can’t buy you happiness a bit ridiculous. Okay, okay I know some folks will take offence but for one thing money does open your possibilities but you know what’s the most insane thing? You have to find how to be happy first - you have to align your thoughts with those emotions you’d be having as if you already had everything you think will make you happy. Phew not so easy, and even me I have relapses but am getting better and have my CD’s to listen to when I fall back into the pits.
