It is a com­mon per­cep­tion that human beings can find hap­pi­ness only in case they fol­low some stan­dard­ised and rec­om­mended ways of life.

The media and adver­tise­ment con­vey mes­sages of hap­pi­ness con­nected to any sort of cul­tural pat­terns or merely to com­mer­cial prod­ucts, the con­stant expo­sure to repeated advice affects people´s lives deeply and con­tributes to the for­ma­tion of the pub­lic opin­ion gen­er­ally and spe­cially about what the mean­ing of hap­pi­ness is.

Rarely would it be said that sug­ges­tions from media could be applied to the real every­day life. In fact com­mon peo­ple strug­gle to reach the par­a­disiac state, which is pro­jected through the widenind media´s lens. Even if they buy all adver­tised “happiness-producer” prod­ucts and try to behave the same way as famous cin­ema or tv stars, their life does not improve so much in terms of happiness.

What does it mean?

This ques­tion is fully answered by that: if your thoughts are made of hap­pi­ness, if your eye sees hap­pi­ness, you will be happy beyond things that you can buy, beyond media cul­tural pat­tern that you can fol­low and finally beyond goals you can achieve.

I´m will­ing to sug­gest a care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion of pure and orig­i­nal feel­ing of hap­pi­ness, which are highly likely to be mis­un­der­stood or replaced by thoughts belong­ing to the eco­nomic sys­tem about what it is sup­posed that peo­ple have to consume.

In con­clu­sion, I would strongly sug­gest devel­op­ing self-confidence and opti­mism by sim­ply try­ing to review and cor­rect pes­simistic or false points of view. Per­son­ally speak­ing, spend­ing time pos­i­tively social­is­ing could pro­duce more hap­pi­ness than spend­ing the same time actively shop­ping in a com­mer­cial cen­tre adver­tised by the local media.

Just change your eye and sel­dom will you have to face unhap­pi­ness again!
