What Makes Humans Happy?

How many of us are happy working the grind?

Seriously? Are you treated as a human that has a life outside of your place of employment? As a business owner do you take the time to step away from your growing biz? Are you stepping back a bit from your side gig empire?

Do you have enough time to socialize with friends and family after work hours as well as make new connections with people? Do you have enough time outside of work to get all of your errands done, demands of housework being handled? Do you have any time for a hobby or exercise? Are you able to make some time just for yourself?

Companies truly are not designed for people to enjoy their lives or take care of life' issues that crop up.

I've seen and heard stories of employees that give every bit of their day and night to their company they worked for over many years and the company wrote them up and later fired them. Corporate America has no loyalty to you. Don't be so blind to think that sacrificing everything for a job, career, or your own company will truly have any long term benefits or rewards for you, your health, mental state, or your life outside of work.

Entrepreneurs that are building something they love won't feel that they are obligated to grind, because on that side of the isle the work does not feel like work.

However, people who work as an employee and business owners still need to be mindful to take time out on what matters the most. The people that work from home for their employment need to be mindful to get out more frequently as well.

You must invest in yourself on multiple levels. Here are some examples of the types of investments you need time for. Your mental health, physical health, emotional wellbeing, family, relationships and to create a better quality of life for yourself.

Here is why.

Psychologists claim that there are three key things in life that make people happy.

1: Close relationships with others

Friends and family are very important to quality of life.

2: Employment in a position that a person loves or their business they created, and a past time like a hobby that the person loves doing. When you do work that you love, the time involved does not feel like work.

3: Helping other people.

Helping others could be as simple as give your friend some advice or have lunch together. The fact that you were helping a friend that needed some guidance in their life creates a connection. A bond of friendship. A go to person that is trusted and valued in times of a particular need. Can not put a price tag on that. Priceless as well as other relationships we have.

Surprisingly money does not make people happy. Don't misunderstand this article. I'm all for being wealthy. Money is needed to pay the bills and the more money you have the better things in life you can acquire, do, and experience. Having a lot of money and being alone or unhappy is simply not a fulfilling experience. People are social creatures.

Being happy comes from within each person. Each individual is responsible for controlling their thoughts and focus on positive aspects of life, and gratitude to have inner happiness. Happiness is an inside job. Choose wisely what is important to you.
