Reach the happiness it would be related to the capacity of each one to accept or reject life as it is. There are people who have a greater aptitude for happiness than others.
Abraham Maslow, the father of humanistic psychology says to identify essential factors that define this aptitude for happiness, to fix concrete problems rather than to live withdrawn on oneself and to escape from social norms and social conditioning.
In addition, it states that happiness is obtained by accessing a higher degree of self-realization.
There are also other models and theories that value, among others, research and concentration on the present moment to reach a certain level of happiness. In fact, all activity, regardless of what it is, requires a concentration of attention here and now that would bring us closer to that state, the objective is therefore to be able to recreate these conditions as many times as possible in everyday life . This attitude becomes a kind of philosophy, happiness comes from a lot of small everyday gestures.
La happiness It can also be expressed through a cosmic participation or the feeling of participating in something greater than oneself, something like that at the same time that does not encompass and contain us. Here we refer to the very meaning of life and to a much more spiritual definition of happiness.
From a more existential point of view, the happiness it would be accessible only after death. Some believe that this is so and that our passage through the earth would only be a preparatory stage. For these thinkers, it is not the end that counts, but the path to that end.
But most thinkers and intellectuals agree when stating that the happiness it does not arrive alone. The world we have in our head is not the real world, it is the opposition between the two that makes us unhappy. Dissonance and illusion are not good friends, we must work so that the world we have in our heads comes as close as possible to the one that is real.
