Status and happiness…

"A meaningful job is happiness. Forget status and money if you want to become happy at work. Stake at working with something that feels meaningful."
Bengt Brülde, associate professor at the University of Gothenburg, researching on what kind of strategies that make us feel well and become happier says according to the Swedish magazine "FeelWell."

But you have to earn a certain amount of money too is my addition. So you don’t have to count every penny you spend. And getting a meaningful job isn't all granted!? Too.

But his findings can be used quite moralistic… And by moralists. And by people in the power. And this is contempt for weakness.

And it’s not just to decide to be happy! Or just to change your mindset, I think… (also see this blogposting).

Status (or power) wouldn't be important if we had been treated with the deepest respect from the first beginning of our lives? And we would also have access to a whole spectrum of feelings, from happiness to its opposite...

1 Earn a certain amount of money too is my addition. So you don’t have to count every penny you spend. If you turn on it, if you working on a job whish you hate, the money is't important anymore.

2 And it’s not just to decide to be happy! Or just to change your mindset, I think…
: Hehe, if you like your life insted of complaining of it, you are creating posstive feelings, and when you have good feelings it´s easy to do what makes you happy. I thinks this is what Bengt Brülde mean. There to ways of looking on a glas, half empty or half full, the easy way or the hard way. One which gives you energi to keep going, one thats makes you stressed.

; It´s not that easy, there are plenty of parants who treats there kids whit plenty of respekt, but the world is differnt.
all Kids are not treathing eachother whit respekt all the time, and there we have it again... Soo status and Power is inportant also.

There are 5 things who is important for us...

Love Health Influnce Power Money, and people ranks those things different.

I rank Love Health Influnce very high, if I get some love every day, and have a good helth i will for sure be happy. If another person rank money first and he dosen´t earn as much as he want, ofcoure he would be sad.

Best reggards Daniel, hope you understand my bad english
