People tend to receive a lot of conflicting messages about what it means to be happy. Here's what the science has to say, according to DrJimTaylor
Being out of control is one thing that we humans do not like. This aversion arose due to evolution because, during primitive times, if our ancestors were out of control, death was likely to follow. Yet, there are many aspects of our lives with which we can’t be in total control, whether our physical or mental health, work, finances, or relationships.
Ultimately, the only thing you can control is yourself, namely, the way you think, the emotions you experience, and how you act on and react to your world. At the heart of gaining and regaining control of your life is a simple distinction: do you react as a victim or a master ? This shift requires that you make a deliberate decision to take control of your life.Sadly, we live in a culture that venerates selfishness. We’re constantly bombarded by messages about putting our own needs first.
That’s why it’s important to have a purpose in your life that is beyond your own selfish needs and wants. Your purpose outside of yourself could be apath or an avocation . In either case, that purpose offers you many benefits that can encourage happiness. First, you aren’t constantly dwelling on your own unhappiness or deficits in your life. Rather, you are focusing on helping others.
