Happiness - changing our perception

Is our choice to become happy and is also our choice to look at things in way we choose to. However, which is way that we would choose? I recommend the "happiness" way!

In my marketing classes, I learn something about consumers' behaviors and there are many factors affecting consumers' behaviors. One of them is perception.

Take for example, Ron is working at his office and one day he caught a cold. His buddy, begin helpful offered him a 'Axon' cold tablet. Ron has never notice 'Axon' before but decided to try it anyway. Ron felt much better after taking 'Axon' and was glad that he took tablet.

After work, he went to bus stop and saw billboard advertising 'Axon'. It was same bus stop that he has been to everyday, yet he did not notice existence of 'Axon'. While he was on the bus, he saw another advertisement of 'Axon'.

From this example, it clearly illustrates how our minds choose to look at things. Our perceptions either focus on some things or ignore them.

It is the same case when we want to be Happy. We need to change our perception at times and look at things from a more positive angle. It helps in lightening up your mood. The world is our teacher and that we are here to learn lesson. Our perception matters in our pursuit to Happiness.

"We reach points in our life when we're ready for new information. Until then, something can be staring us in face but we don't see it."Quoted from "In a Nutshell' by Andrew Matthews.

So, be ready to receive lessons from people around we (As all of them are our teachers) and take a different perspective next time you look at thing before jumping to conclusion. Remember we have a choice in making the difference in our life. Then, we will learn to understand and be HAPPIER!
