ok but what is the formula hmm why does it seem so simple, am I retarded?

Ok so say you have a piece of paper that’s 200cm x 200cm… and on that piece of paper there is a square drawn which is 50cm big… what is the percentage scale needed to enlarge the paper so the drawn square is 200 cm big.

Hope this makes sense

I would say it leads to better efficiency but happiness is something beyond our grasping power I guess.

Well where does unhappiness come from, past regrets or future worries.. both are just thoughts in our head, yet we make them FEEL real in the present when we focus on them..

Actually there exists crystal clear “present moment worries” in our life. Just the common preaching in the public doesn’t care about that. For example while we are driving on road, we supposed to be conscious about present worries such as other vehicle’s interference. This can’t be segregated to the past or future – it is just a present worry and there are many of such we face in daily life. This is very basic observation and that’s why the quotes like “not worrying about past and future are key to happiness” is not honest and least applicable in practical works.

Haha agreed! Look you can’t be 100% in the present all the time, otherwise we wouldn’t survive, you’d probably get hit crossing the road by a bus, because you never bothered to check for traffic But I’m just saying being more in the present, is what life is about.. because life only exists in the present – sometimes we forget this when we living in thoughts about the future too much, then life seems like hard work, and then we appreciate the present less – this is where stress comes from, because our thoughts are against our natural state of being happy in the present, and our body is reacting to it.

Environment is factor, but again you can be happy with nothing, its just a state of mind really. If you can control your thoughts, to always be happy in the present, there is nothing else you need, other than stuff to survive.. right?

Well where does unhappiness come from, past regrets or future worries.. both are just thoughts in our head, yet we make them FEEL real in the present when we focus on them.. so by simply realizing thoughts aren’t real to what is happening in the present, then we will see that happiness was never something to grasp, because we had it all along, we were just thinking we didn’t have it by living in imagination which made us feel like we were missing something.

I just mean being more in the present, is being more in our natural state, because we’re flowing with life instead of controlling it with thoughts about the future that doesn’t exist in the present moment. And usually when we’re happier in the present, people respond to you more positively because you’re giving off a good energy, and then good things come your way naturally. However dreaming of the future too much, creates separation from the present, and your energy is different, so you pushing against what you want. So like if you want to be a millionaire in the future, FEEL like you are a millionaire now, and life will make it happen so you become a millionaire – in theory, it’s because you’re giving off the right energy so it has a knock on effect to how you experience life and how others respond to you.

^ Something I’ve learnt, there is only one thing we really want in life; is to be happy in the present moment… there’s nothing else to attain in this life other than true happiness, which can only exist in the present moment. Everything else we think we want exists in the future, which is just imagination. Truth is the future doesn’t exist in the present moment, because time is just a concept of the mind (memories / imagination). The present moment is forever, because we only exist in the present moment and the present is the only thing that is real, and we will realize we have everything we want when we stop thinking we need something other than being happy with what we have in the present moment. The more we are in the present – and the less we live in imagination and memories, the more happier life becomes, and good things will come our way. Being happy with the now is the only gift we really want, that’s why its called the “present”

Basically what I meant in my previous comment, say you want something in the future, it creates a sense of lack in the present… that your happiness in the present depends on something living in imagination, something to be attained in the future. But the truth is, true happiness only exists in the present, so we only create more separation from being happy now by wanting something in the future, that may or may not even happen – this just creates more unhappiness with the present! (although this can be the driving force to be successful – then again once a goal is achieved there is always the next goal, and on it goes – always escaping the present for the future)

Thought creates your reality, what you think you become. If you think about wanting something, then you creating a sense of lack, which pushes away what you want. If you think you already have what you want, then more good things will happen in your life. Universal law of attraction

Here’s a clip of something that happens quite often, baboon invasion in your house!
