What Stops Us Being Happy_
In this episode, Anne Corbin explores the pursuit of happiness, distinguishing between blame and responsibility, and the power of choice in personal growth. She delves into Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the complicated relationship between wealth and happiness, and the importance of self-actualization.
Key Points
- The pursuit of happiness is not about chasing or owning happiness, but rather about feeling and being happy. It is a state of being rather than a possession.
- Guilt is a redundant feeling that pulls down vibrations and stifles achievement. Taking responsibility, on the other hand, is an acknowledgement of being in control and making conscious choices.
- Self-talk and the way we speak to ourselves can greatly impact our happiness. It is important to be mindful of negative self-talk and replace it with positive and empowering language.
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that basic physiological and safety needs must be met before psychological and self-fulfilment needs become important. Happiness is often related to satisfaction and can be found even in simpler societies with fewer material possessions.
- Self-actualisation, or achieving one's full potential and being of service to others, is the highest level of fulfilment according to Maslow's hierarchy. Discovering one's purpose and mission in life can lead to a sense of self-fulfilment and happiness.
Anne explores the concept of happiness and its connection to our basic needs and psychological well-being. Drawing from Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, she discusses how our pursuit of happiness is often influenced by societal conditioning and the constant comparison to others. She emphasises the importance of taking responsibility for our own happiness and reframing negative self-talk. Anne also delves into the idea of self-actualisation and finding purpose in life, highlighting the significance of personal growth and being of service to others. Overall, this episode offers insightful perspectives on happiness and provides practical advice for cultivating a fulfilling life.
BEST MOMENTS
"Happiness isn't something that you can catch, you can't chase it, it isn't something that you own or have, it's rather something that you feel and it's something to be."
"Regrettably for many, conditioning by society and relentless programming causes them to blame themselves all the time for what has or hasn't happened to them and even to other members of their family."
"Blame is negative and it's allied with very low vibrational states like regret, revenge, remorse, despair, depression and also even doubt which can be a real killer of positive thoughts and vibrations."
"Taking responsibility is quite different from blame, it's an acknowledgement of being in control, a recognition of having a choice and acting on that."
"The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day that you find out why."
