Who Else Wants To Be Happy?
Everyone wants to be happy (God knows). But somehow, you find it difficult (or nearly impossible) to be happy. You somehow know that somewhere in your life is just not balanced. Something has gone wrong. Yet, you don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. You keep on asking yourself…
“How To Be Happy?”
Good news!
You are not alone. Most (or all) of us feel the same way.
Another good news is… there maybe an ‘easy’ answer to it:
“Happiness is a Matter of BALANCE.
Balance is a Matter of WISDOM.”
If You Want To Find HAPPINESS, First Find BALANCE.
If You Want To Find BALANCE, First Find WISDOM.
This phrase was obtained from one of the many Dr Edward De Bono’s books.
To live a balanced life could be the best (if not the only way) way to achieve happiness in life.
If a person wants to be happy,
first he has to be balanced in life,
and that balance can only be achieved with wisdom.
The road to a happy life is never an easy one. It is a journey with many twists and turns and more than a few surprises. Over the course of life, a person will find himself or herself needing to balance in many parts of his life.
They are:
- family,
- career / work,
- friend / social / community,
- fitness / health,
- faith / spiritual / belief,
- feedings / personal growth, and
- finances / money;
and this is by no means an easy task.
How Can You Balance These Many Facets Of Life?
In our opinion, no one on earth has successfully figured it out. It is best to excel in all the areas mentioned above, but often in life it just cannot be done. It is easy to say that some aspects are more important that others, but this is untrue. All of the issues are inter-related and when one circumstance is deficient, they all are. For instance, without financial stability it is impossible to fulfill needs of the other “lives”; when health is left unattended to, all of the others suffer for it. As difficult as it may be, balance must be achieved before true happiness can be found. That naturally brings us the next BIG question everyone desperately wants to ask…
“How To Balance My Life?”
We think there is an answer to it, and that is called…
WISDOM.
Just in case you have not heard of this:
Experience Is The Nicer Name For Mistakes.”
Do you also agree that “Wisdom Comes From More Experience (a.k.a More Mistakes).”? It may not be so.
- you may not have to make any (if possible) or too many mistakes in life in order to gain experience.
- you may not have to make any (if possible) or too many mistakes in life in order to be a wiser person.
You can…
- FIND THAT BALANCE faster and easier (because you don’t have to ‘accumulate’ the ‘experience’ in order to gain wisdom to achieve that balance.)
- FIND THAT HAPPINESS faster and easier (because you can find that balance quickly and easily to achieve the happiness we have long wanted.)
What Do You Want Actually?
Whether you are just starting out in life, or are ready for your grave, balance is a goal we can all continue to work toward. When looked at on a grand scale, we still believe that achieving balance can seem impossible; but when you take care of the smaller stepping stones balance and happiness are well within reach.

Give, give, give – what is the point of having experience,
knowledge or talent if I don’t give it away?
Of having stories if I don’t tell them to others?
Of having wealth if I don’t share it?
I don’t intend to be cremated with any of it!
It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world
and with the divine.
~ Isabel Allende

The More You Share With Others,
The More Balanced and Happier You Will Be.
First, it’s said . . .
“Knowing Is Not Enough,
We Must Apply.
Willing Is Not Enough,
We Must Do.”
Then we would like to extend from here . . .
“Knowing (wisdom) Is Not Enough,
We Must Apply.
Willing (to follow wisdom) Is Not Enough,
We Must Do.”
May Wisdom Always Be With You.
