Nic Marks: The Happy Planet Index

www.ted.com Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation’s success by its productivity — instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn’t have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI?

Abraham-Hicks ~ Thinking about being happy

Read the original:
Positive Outlook Making a success out of your failures and being happy in life

The secret to being happy. The book: The Hiding Place -reference to the story of two women in a Nazi concentration camp trying to make the most of life, be happy and even grateful for the smallest creature they hate- fleas. Are you content? Thankful for what you have? We’ve talked about thank you notes, but can you be thankful always? Knowing and doing are two separate things. You get out of life what you put into it. Be aggressively thankful for trials and life. People who are only happy when they get things they want are rarely happy. Positive energy will bring you more happiness. There was a Buddhist man who was robbed and when he went to see the doctor- all beat up the doctor asked him why he was happy. The man replied, well he may have stolen my money but what good would it dome to stay upset. Besides something great came out of this. I’ve had neck pain for ears. When this man beat me up it cured it. There is always a silver lining. It may take years but more often then not good will come out of even the worst of situations if you let it and move forward. Allow yourself to go beyond your own limits and be happy above all. Thanks for watching. If you have any questions find me on twitter, facebook, or write in the comments section of this video.
