I must already say that I do not accept most of the information that I will provide you with evidence on the lower side. I’ll tell you at the end of the article why I didn’t agree. And in the process, I will tell you as if I accept this information. Hopefully!

- Nowadays, most people work in long-term and boring jobs. In fact, it is not so important that the work is long-term, but if it is a boring job and the person does not like his job, then the duration of the work can be a big problem.Very few of the people around us do the best thing they want and can do. Look around you carefully! How many “crazy” do you see? A little bit? Yes! I’m not surprised. This means that the people around you, too, are doing the things that he does not like and has to do. I hope you guys are not one of them.

- In the research titled “the secret of happiness”, published in Forbes magazine, “happiness comes from choosing to be happy with everything you do, strengthening your closest relationships and taking care of yourself physically, financially and emotionally… ” described by definition. Actually, there seems to be a huge mistake in this definition. “happiness comes from choosing to be happy with everything you do…” this part of the definition is quite erroneous. Because happiness comes only from doing everything that you are happy with. I find the parts of the definition that are left out of it to be correct. For example, there is no need to even tell you that physical or emotional care is very important for happiness.

- So, how can we achieve all this? First of all, the most important factor is financial freedom. If a person achieves his financial freedom, only then he can fulfill other conditions of happiness. That is, if you live on the consumer side of a society that is not a producer, but only a consumer, and you don’t have money, you can’t be happy. Thanks to this, you get the feeling that you need to consume more. This feeling actually causes you to feed only giant companies. Now think about it this way; for the first time in your life, you boarded the first class section of an airplane. There are free drinks and a menu to choose from. A thousand little tricks to make you feel free and comfortable.

- When you come across all these fascinating things, your mind becomes conditioned. Now you believe that your next trip should definitely be in first class. But you realize that for this you need material strength, and boom! Now you have fallen into the crazy wheel of capitalism. You will try to fulfill the wishes of giant companies in order to fulfill your own wishes for the rest of your life. Capitalism causes us to search our minds for conditions and happiness in the wrong places. Finally, I want to say that happiness is not something that is far away.
- Sometimes he’s right next to you, sometimes he’s right in front of you.
Have a good day 🙂
