Oh boy, happiness saves a lot of heartache wmf
A Well Known Fact: From the world of animal consciousness man has inherited the desire to be right by might.
You want the best for yourself and others...you want to live in harmony...sometimes the harmony isn’t there...and it’s usually because someone is trying to be right...and being right usually comes at the expense of being happy and everyone ends up being unhappy. Two questions that people rarely ask during a disagreement or debate...two question that can make a meeting of souls fun and consistently exciting...this if what How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is for today.
With as many encounters as you can (for the fifteen minutes), approach them with the following questions; What do we both want from this meeting? And; What is the truth about what we want to accomplish together? The first question establishes the shared goal the second question puts the focus on what is going to make both parties happy. Finding and supporting the interests of both parties will always protect the identities’ of both and liberate the expressions of one another without forcing either to be the way the other wants. Make sure that you only spend fifteen minutes in total for this activity...seeking the truth of what an encounter is for will liberate all parties concerned...provided that the truth and not the separate interests of either are the goal of any encounter...successful communication is inevitable.
This is a skill to be developed and is designed on the premise that the interests of all parties in any encounter are equally as valuable as the other and therefore makes any interaction an opportunity for greater joy and fulfillment for all and...
Have a great day!
