Sustaining the myththat happiness is the objective of life.

If you have read a few of my other blogpieces you will certainly see that I consistently state that thereis a state beyond happiness that can be the very best goal inlife. On the other hand traditional science hasyet to reach this truth. One present trendin psychology is to take a look at the quantity of happiness individuals experience. I stumbled uponthe most recommended test and chose to take it.

I advise that you take the test likewise to see where it puts youin their scale of happiness.

This how the test exists in the BBC News story:

"Psychologists state it is possible to measure your happiness.

This test created by psychologist Professor Ed Diener fromthe University of Illinois, takes simply a minute to complete.

As soon as you have actually addressed allfive questions press send and we will calculate your score. You will certainly then have theability to check out Teacher Diener's analysis." Source BBC

When I got my results back I found that I was ExtremelySatisfied:

People who score in this range enjoy their lives andfeel that things are going effectively. Your life is not best, however you feel it is about as good as lifegets. Moreover, just due tothe fact that you are pleased does not mean you are contented. In fact, growth and challengemight be part of the reason you are satisfied. For the majority of people in this high-scoring range, life is pleasurable, and the major domains of life are going well - work or school, family, good friends, leisure, andpersonal advancement.

The problem that I see with this test is that they indicate for me toscore this high my life has to be going well, work, friends and family. In fact my happiness does not depend on any of those aspects. My life is happy because my internal area is happy. I haveactually enjoyed even when I had no work or money or buddies!

Regrettably tests and details such as this assessment assistance and promote the misconception that happiness depends on the external world of excellent, tasks, friends and family. In fact ourlife obstacle is to rise and move beyond this reliance to the location where we are cheerful, delighted and blissful for no reason, and continue withthat energy when others discover reason to be sad!
