The art of remaining happy and content (The 16 celestial arts)

Being happy is the aim of our lives. It does not matter how we try to accomplish that - by working 14 hours a day, moving to another country or even, paradoxically, starting a war - we all aim to be happy. Not only happy; happiness and contentment should be together.

If you see from this point of view, you will understand all social, technological and economic changes in the world today. Those changes indicate the lack of happiness and the attempt to get that.

It is not a small thing, happiness. A few countries are starting to give importance to it and, in this way; they try to value the most important reason why we work so much... But it is not an easy task.

And, what about you? Do you value happiness more than your job, your exercises and the party last night? Yes, you do all of that because you believe you can be happy and content, at least at some point of your life. However, many times we forget that on our way towards happiness.

It is important to remember, from time to time, the reasons behind the actions, words and thoughts. And, from time to time, the art of remaining happy and content will provide you with the capacity to reflect on your own self, and to understand what is happening to you. If necessary, you will feel the inner power to stir the boat of your life towards the right direction. Towards being fully happy and content.
