Everyone wants to be happy. In our daily life, we find all kinds of ways to be happy. Psychologist Martin Seligman’s research came up with 3 kinds of happiness: The Pleasant Life, The Engaged Life, The Meaningful Life.

​

1) The Pleasant Life: consists of having as many pleasures as possible such as entertainment, delicious food, hanging out with friends etc.

​

2) The Engaged life: An aspect of happiness is becoming completely absorbed in an activity such as when listening to music, solving puzzles, online gaming, competitive sport etc, until they lose themselves in the activity.

​

3) The Meaningful Life: A happiness that is meaningful that comes from serving or helping others. It’s this kind of happiness that gives the greatest satisfaction. Eg. Parents who make sacrifices for the good of their children, people who volunteer to truly help and improve the lives of others find themselves emotionally enriched.

​

Dale Carnegie said: Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

​

In looking for a job, do you look for work that makes you happy or try to be happy with whatever you are doing?

​

When I asked myself this question few months ago, I realized that finding the service element in any work makes it more rewarding and fulfilling. For eg. a hairdresser who sees her job as making people feel more beautiful and confident will find it more rewarding than the one who simply cuts hair. The corporate executive who provides valuable goods and services to individuals and families will have greater job satisfaction than the one who goes to work every day just to beat his competitor or earn a paycheck.

​

That was how I found The Make Life Better. 

 

Make Life Better is  not just for myself  but for anyone who is truly looking to change their lives.
