Happiness Is Cheaper
This post could be a bit provoking.
Think about when you feel sad, frustrated and disappointed. What do you do to feel better? Easy, there’s a large variety of options:
- Eat chocolate, ice-cream and any sweet things you come across
- Go shopping and decide to buy that dress or that pair of shoes or that mp3 player you have wanted for so long
- Smoke. Or drink
- Use your credit card to pay for that week-end in Paris you actually cannot afford now
- Treat yourself with a comforting dinner, a movie, or else
Being unhappy can get very expensive. Don’t you agree?
Unhappiness is actually wonderful for the economy – for the manufacturers, producers and service providers. Unhappy people need products and services to soothe them. And to get slimmer, fitter and recover their health.
These are all aspirins to get the headache away for a while. But the headache will come back. If you do not find and remove the cause.
What does this mean?
That investing in identifying and removing sources of unhappiness, replacing them with sources of happiness can be worth it in many ways: your pocket, your health, your overall well-being, everyone around you.
Imagine
…feeling present, in harmony with yourself and your surrounding, satisfied with your work, with your family and social life, calm, knowing that you have everything you need, trusting that what you need but do not have yet will arrive… How does that feel?

Myriam,
thanks for writing this. I don’t find your text provoking. Actually, we can be happy only when we look into the mirror and fully accept what we see there, not only physically but in a broader sense, our life, our family, our friends, our work, everything, which belongs to our life. If we accept all this we are happy and we are in ourselves and nothing can be provoking.
Thanks
Volker
