WHAT ARE THE 3GS FOR A HAPPY LIFE – GIVE – GROW – GRATITUDE – 2021
GIVE – GROW – GRATITUDE
Today, I will share those 3Gs here with my audience, which is important to live a happy and healthy life successfully.
GIVE
Why I selected this G as the first one?
We all know that being grateful is enough to attract all kinds of blessings and happiness in your life in both worlds but do all people follow this rule?
A Big 'NO'
We find more than 90% of people complaining about something or someone every day while having a lot to be grateful for.
Gratitude = No Complain and Thankful (being in peace)
It means that it seems simple to be grateful, but it's not actually in today's restless, demanding and complaining world.
And when we say that being grateful is the number 1 factor behind all blessings, being ungrateful is the number 1 factor behind all pain, unhappiness, and restlessness we see everywhere.
That's why when it seems hard to be grateful or understand its importance in your life, start with giving whatever you can.
It can be a smile, a little help, food, money, or even motivating words…. give it and see the reaction. The reaction will be nothing but Gratitude and happiness, which will make you realize the connection between the two.
Even if a person doesn't start being grateful at the very moment when he will get it in a reaction for giving something, it will unconsciously create a sense of Gratitude inside.
Let's start with the first G
So, my first G is GIVE.
Start giving today, and you'll start getting a lot more than your expectations and don't think that you have nothing to give, as I mentioned earlier, give anything but give and keep giving as much as you can.
According to Spiritual Principles, GIVE
Start giving today, and you'll start getting a lot more than your expectations and don't think that you have nothing to give, as I mentioned earlier, give anything but give and keep giving as much as you can.
If you want happiness in your life for one hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness in your life for one day, go outside.
If you want happiness in your life for one year, inherit a fortune.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, help someone.
Throughout history, the greatest thinkers have argued the same thing:
Happiness is found in service to others.
We receive by giving — Saint Francis of Assisi
Life's sole purpose is to serve humanity — Leo Tolstoy
We earn a living through what we receive; we live through what we give — Winston Churchill
Making money is happiness; making other people happy is a super happiness — Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
Giving back benefits both you and those you help because it provides you with a sense of purpose. When a person's life is purpose-driven, they are a happier person — Goldie Hawn.
As a result, we learn early on that it is preferable to give than to receive.
Giving is a powerful way to achieve personal growth and long-term happiness, according to scientific research
We are now aware that fMRI technology is used to activate the same brain areas as food and sex.
Experiments demonstrate that altruism is hardwired into the human brain — and that it is pleasurable. Thus, helping others may be the key to living a happier, healthier, wealthier, more productive, and meaningful life.
However, it's critical to remember that giving does not always feel good. The converse may very well be true: giving may leave us feeling depleted and exploited.
The following tips will help you in giving, not until it hurts but until it feels great.
1. Identify your passion
Our giving should be motivated by our passion. It is not about how much we give but how much love we give. So, it's natural that we'll care more about this and less about that, and that's fine.
It should not be a case of picking the right thing and picking what is best for us.
2. Volunteer your time
Time is frequently more valuable to the recipient and more satisfying to the giver than money. Well, maybe we all do not have the same amount of money, But we all have time on our hands and can volunteer some of it to help others—whether we devote our entire lives to service or volunteer a few hours each day or a few days a year.
3. Contribute to organizations whose objectives and outcomes are transparent
According to Harvard scientist Michael Norton, "Giving to a cause that specifies what they're going to do with your contribute results in greater happiness than giving to an umbrella cause where you're not sure what they're going to do with your contribution (Time, Money anything).
4. Identify opportunities to connect your interests and abilities to the needs of others
In the absence of self-preservation instincts, selfless giving can easily become overwhelming, It is critical to be "otherish," which is defined as being willing to give more than you receive while still maintaining an awareness of your interests.
5. Be proactive rather than reactive
The kind of fear that everyone feels being coerced into giving, such as when friends ask us to contribute to their fundraising or other efforts. In this occurrence, we are more likely to give to avoid embarrassment than out of genuine generosity and concern. Unfortunately, this type of giving does not result in a warm glow; it almost always results in resentment. Rather than that, we should set aside time to consider our options and choose the charity that best fits our values.
6. Avoid being guilted into giving
I don't want to demoralize people from participating in worthy causes because giving solely to receive something back does not always cheer us up. What a terrifying, opportunistic world that would be! However, if we are guilt-tripped into giving, chances are we will be less committed to the cause over time. The trick is to find a perspective that works for us. Then, when we do, the more we give, the more opportunity we have to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness—all of the things we seek in life but find so difficult to obtain.
2nd G Is GROW – Growing Peaceful Living IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE
Life is all about growing.
Life grows with every passing moment.
It means every living being is meant to grow.
If you are growing, living, happy or not, but to feel and prove that you are alive, you have to keep growing in all aspects of life.
Grow your skills, grow your knowledge, grow your success…..go for resources you feel can help you grow, meet such people who keep you motivated to grow, and surround yourself with friends who push you to grow.
We do not get to choose how our lives begin. We do not get to choose our birth date or family, birth name, or the country in which we are born, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. Instead, a higher power planned all of these events. When you reach the age of decision making, you will be able to make your own decisions; many aspects of your life have been established. Therefore, you must keep your focus on the future, as that is the only thing you can change to grow on the right path.
The mind is like muscles, and the more you exercise it becomes stronger and greater its capacity for expansion and growth. So while there is no denying that it is evil in this world, the light will always overcome the darkness to continue growing.
Our mind is extremely powerful at attracting things in harmony with it, both good and bad. Wherever your attention goes, goes your time as well. So, be careful about your attention and thinking. When wellness recognizes that it is incapable hands during your growing periods, the most important thing is remaining and multiplying your success.
The thoughts of fear are more significant than the object of our fear, and a good opportunity does not wait for the unprepared people. Growing success starts inside our mind; to understand what is visible on the outside in our life, we must first vary what is visible on the inside.
To growing the right path, never miscalculate the power of thought; it is the one-of-a-kind conduit for discovery. You cannot simply let life happen to you; you must create it. If you exit a process, you leave the result of growing your life.
Your work reflects your personality, and therefore, to improve your abilities, first and foremost, you must improve yourself. When we are beard with a difficult situation with no apparent way out, we reflect on all the times we have been in similar situations and remind ourselves that we have done it before and can do it again. With this motivation, it is important to grow people around you for growing yourself, and when similar interests band together to achieve a common goal, enormous power is unleashed, Generally.
GRATITUDE The most important G in the quest for happiness
Once you learn to Give and Grow, you will automatically feel grateful for understanding the value of life and living it the right way for yourself (by growing) and for others (by giving).
And when you start feeling grateful, keep doing it till the last breath you take to ensure a happy life in both worlds.
Your brain on Gratitude – How Gratitude Changes You and Your Brain
When we express and receive Gratitude, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, two important neurotransmitters that regulate our emotions and make us feel 'good.'
The new analysis is starting to explore how gratitude works to improve our mental health. Gratitude is an expression of thankfulness for the good things in life. It's also a way to recognize that the sources of this goodness are outside of ourselves.
Why Gratitude Is Beneficial
Gratitude is good for our relationships, minds, and our bodies. Experts say people who practice Gratitude continually report a host of benefits over a year.
Gratitude frees us from negative emotions
Individuals who used fewer negative emotional words in their daily routine reported significantly better mental health than those who mostly use negative comments. It is indicated that flowing gratitude diverts attention away from toxic emotions like resentment and envy. This study was published in the American Academy of Journal Clinical Psychology.
Even if you don't express it, Gratitude is beneficial
Simply the following Gratitude can help you redirect your attention away from negative thoughts. If you're unsure whether the recipient should follow in the right direction, we encourage you to follow it regardless.
The benefits of Gratitude need time
The benefits of gratitude following one's mental health did not manifest immediately but gradually accrued. Don't be surprised if you don't immediately feel better after some days' practice. Be patient and keep in mind that the benefits may take time to manifest.
Gratitude has a long-term impact on the brain
The researchers discovered that when people felt grateful, their brain activity was distinct from guilt and the desire to contribute to a cause. This suggests that cultivating Gratitude may help train the brain to be more receptive to the experience of Gratitude in the future, the researchers write. The findings may eventually contribute to improved mental health.
