If you haven’t been able to find a lot of happiness in your life, maybe you’re looking in the wrong place. Our level of happiness is based on our thoughts and our thoughts are a reflection of what’s in our minds. We can begin the quest for happiness by separating our memories into three separate chests.

The Treasure Chest of the mind is where we put our most cherished memories. We open this chest when looking for happiness, comfort and contentment.

The Hope Chest of our mind is for our goals and dreams of tomorrow. As each is fulfilled it is then moved to our Treasure Chest.

The Dumpster Chest of the mind is for letting go of the hurts and trash of yesterday. Once in this chest they are dumped, to be forever let go. Once these memories are put in the Dumpster Chest you should never go digging them out.

Our thoughts are a reflection on who we are. Happy people have happy thoughts. That doesn’t mean that the happy person never has an unhappy thought, it means the happy person knows how to move these unhappy thoughts into the Dumpster Chest and then forget about them.

If someone speaks of you and is not pleasant or someone acts and is not nice to you, it is not a reflection of you but a reflection of them. Do you think they are happy? What is in their Treasure Chest or Hope Chest that should have been put in their Dumpster Chest? How sad for them, but don’t let it affect you.

If you want to be happy, take the time to sit and think about your thoughts. Put the good ones in your Treasure Chest or Hope Chest and the bad ones in your Dumpster Chest. Focus only on your Treasure Chest and Hope Chest for they are now full of the jewels of hope and joy.

Happy people spend their effort adding to their Treasure and Hope chests while unhappy people spend their time sorting through the dumpster. If you are serious about finding happiness, leave the trash behind and become a treasure hunter.

How would you know for certain that a person wants to take steps to better themselves? This question has no definitive answer because it depends greatly on the individual.

Many people have goals, and dreams but have no idea how to reach them. There are those who have some idea on how they might improve themselves and these are the ones that believe that if their job was better and if they’d encountered better opportunities along the way or fallen in love or all kind of other factors things would be just fine and they would be happy.

These people feel their happiness or lack of happiness is decided by external factors so whatever they do doesn’t really matter.

There are people who believe that if they had more money then they could easily obtain the things they want and be well on their way. They may have spent some time considering the things they want out of life and refuse to believe there’s anything they can do to reach their version of utopia other than scratching lottery ticket after lottery ticket.

Other people do not even know what they actually want from their lives and don’t actually know what would really makes them happy. They seem to just drift year to year, and fail to do much more than survive. They may seem to have more secure jobs and might be comfortable and seem to be happy enough but they don’t wish to achieve anything more from their lives than what they have.

Is self betterment fundamental?

Through our entire lives were are always growing, circumstances make us grow and develop, and it happens even if we don’t make the choice ourselves. Up to a certain age, we receive a formal education and we keep learning through experiences for the rest of our lives. We have to learn and grow to deal with all the things that life throws in our path.

Today life moves at a faster pace than it ever has throughout the history of mankind so for anyone living in modern society there are many more chances to do things with your life than ever before.

But, there is also more competition than ever before, and with technology constantly developing means that there really are few, if any, ‘jobs for life’ any longer. It’s now commonplace not only to change jobs several times in the course of our lives but even to switch occupations and industries.

Because the workplace is so competitive, those who crave success know they need to learn new skills and knowledge to be better than others and to do that, they must improve.

These are the people who will stay in their jobs or make progress in their field or that will be readily employable in several different fields or industries. A commitment to self improvement along with personal growth may well decide how anyone’s future will turn out.
