Life is a wave. Every day is a wave, every month is a wave, our aggregate economy & a businesses growth is graphed as a wave. It is literally inscribed in our nature to act in wave-like patterns. Seriously…
Happiness acts in a wave. A nations’ entire economy and how much it’s worth put together is called its aggregate economy. and it acts exactly like happiness!!!! (Only we have control over our happiness where an aggregate economy is extremely unpredictable & power is scattered among the biggest turds the world knows) It makes sense because whether we like it or not we are psychologically conditioned to think money creates happiness. But anyways, the wave starts as a boom. You cant shrink when you’re already at 0 & that was (hopefully) almost or over 2 decades ago for us. (I really hope theres no 14 year olds following my blog lmao) But when the wave hits a peak and starts coming down, we think of it as negative happiness. The same way that when a business starts losing sales, it looks at it as negative money. it isn’t negative money though, it is just negative growth. Their buildings continue to stand, production is still running. everything you built up to the decline you are still in control of. Businesses handle negative growth by regulating production to reduce losses and finding new ways around the problem to begin growing again. I genuinely believe we can learn from their methods and use similar strategies in our journey for happiness. Back to my point, When we start feeling down, incapable, upset, trapped, like things arent going our way and life is out to get us, we need to recognize that this is normal and a part of life. We combat our struggle by expecting it for the time being and finding a way around it. expect your day not to go so well. Prepare yourself to be let down and go through it anyways. Why? Because its a wave!! You cant control the fact that things can’t always go your way. you are a human being and you’re going to make mistakes, and youre never going to be able to escape from feeling negative emotions. Throw that idea out the window. Recognize whatever caused the decline & Look at the big picture. One bad day, week, however long it lasts, doesnt matter. As long as you are alive and breathing, you have the potential to grow again. compared to your whole life, even 20 years of shit and misery can be overcome and if you do, you will be so thankful you did. Just focus on growing. No one can do it for you, or show you how. Nobody knows how to live your life. but even with that being said you dont have to face life entirely alone. Everyone is going through a similar struggle, relate with others. Don’t judge people. Put an effort into caring about other people, even the people you dont like. You’re a part of this world. Act like it. Accept the fact you are part of something bigger than yourself. I wanna stress this because happiness lies in all of us, & sometimes it can radiate to the ones around us. All of us find our own method and version of happiness instinctively. Some are better than others, but all are imperfect. Sometimes we can even do exactly what we think will make us happy and end up leaving ourselves worse off than we were. It’s not an exact science. There’s no real life way to measure it or be sure we know where it really comes from. But one thing is for sure. we long to be as happy as possible, and we long to see others enjoy their own. Maybe one day you’ll get so happy that going into declines becomes irrelevant to you because youve been through it enough to know it will pass. You’ll just naturally shrug it off and use the happiness you still hold because you’ve handled these things time and time again and a rough patch doesnt just doesnt feel so rough any more. Im no where near the point i could handle another bad year, but i’ve built enough to know i’ll be okay next time i decline. Sorry if i sound like a nut case, i just really think i’m on to something valuable here. I mean yeah i’m talking fancy and ornamental & getting off topic and ranting like im spun the fuck out, but the ideas and logic of the general idea are theoretically sound. I just want everyone to see what i see because ive decided helping others is my personal happiness strategy. & what i see is amazing, i want you to see it too:)
