Happiness

MONEYMONK WEEKLY MESSAGE 14/2019
Happiness
Fulfillment of needs leads to happiness. How are needs different from wants ?
Identify what are your needs first and understand how they are different from wants.
One way of defining happiness index I like is
No of desires( needs) fulfilled/ total no of desires *100
If you keep control over both numerator and denominator you will lead a happy life.
Does it mean being a minimalist and not being ambitious ? Minimalist if you can be it helps but you can still have ambitions and long term goals. Increase your short term desires/needs gradually so that your wants dont become needs and reduce your present happiness.
Budgeting , Saving, covering risk with term and medical insurance and having an emergency fund will help increase your happiness and that of your family members too.
Another point ....Please decide to be happy every day and make an effort every day to make some one else happy too without any expectation.
Also keep in mind that your happiness does not depend on others but only on  your own self !
