Who controls your happiness?

Who really controls your happiness?
I have seen people agitated, irritated, sad and sulking because they are not happy.
Most of the times our ( including me) happiness is controlled by a "third Party" and very often it difficult to draw a direct corelation between somebody else's action and our reaction to it.

I am unhappy because my friend promised me something and didn't do it.
It's reaaly dissappinting to know that Rahul didn't call me

    “Happiness and sorrow are just same situation perceived differently” So one has to perceive rightly.
    Our emotional reaction/ behavior are not creations of our sole self (Soul) but reciprocation of what we perceive by external infuencials. At core we are not aware what WE actually Want/Feel - the Real food/desire of SELF.
    If we can think once detached of influences, we will enjoy every bit of life.

Meta Layoffs - WSJ Meta Platforms  Inc.  META  2.11% increase; green up pointing triangle  is planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, in what could be the largest round in a  recent spate of tech job cuts  after the industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic.

The Chronicles of Micromanagement: A Comedy of (Tiny) Errors

Image
Micromanagers: the unsung heroes of the workplace, or perhaps, the unwitting stars of a workplace comedy.    Picture this: you're diligently typing away at your desk, feeling like a productivity ninja, when suddenly, a wild micromanager appears! Cue the dramatic music, because it's about to get hilariously chaotic. Micromanagers, with their eagle eyes and penchant for over-control, have a knack for turning even the simplest tasks into a circus act.  They hover like helicopter parents, ready to swoop in at the slightest deviation from their meticulously outlined plans. Forget autonomy; in their world, every decision requires their stamp of approval, even if it's just choosing which color sticky note to use.  Their emails read like a script from a sitcom: "Did you remember to dot your i's and cross your t's?" "I noticed you used Arial font instead of Times New Roman – please explain." And who could forget the classic, "Can you send me hour...

It's happiness that fuels success, not the other way around.

Image
In our pursuit of success, we often fall into the trap of believing that achievement will bring happiness. However, a growing body of research and numerous examples from the lives of successful individuals demonstrate that it's happiness that fuels success, not the other way around.  Take the example of Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of the Virgin Group. Branson's approach to business prioritizes happiness and well-being among his employees. He understands that a happy workforce leads to increased productivity, innovation, and ultimately, business success.  By fostering a positive work environment, Branson has built a globally recognized brand known for its customer satisfaction and employee loyalty.   Similarly, Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful media moguls in history, attributes her achievements to her commitment to personal fulfillment and purpose.  Despite facing adversity early in her career, Winfrey remained focused on pursuing her pass...
